Introduction
Follow this guide to replace an old and degraded battery in the 2017 Honda HR-V smart key. Your key battery needs to be replaced when the buttons on the battery no longer work to lock or unlock the car. The battery will degrade as it is used over time, so if your remote has become old, has been excessively used, or is exposed to water damage, you can likely revive it with a battery replacement.
This guide applies to all Honda smart keys.
Warning: metal tools on batteries can be dangerous.
2.5mm is optional.

A volte la macchina non si avvia al primo colpo....è x colpa della batteria auto che si sta scaricando o della batteria del telecomando che si sta esaurendo?
