However, like any battery-operated device, the key fob battery will eventually need to be replaced. In this article, we will guide you through the process of replacing the key fob battery in your 2020 RAV4.
Step 1: Gather the necessary materials
Before you start replacing the battery, make sure you have the following materials on hand:
– A replacement battery (typically a CR2032 battery)
– A small flathead screwdriver or a plastic pry tool
Step 2: Locate the battery compartment
The battery compartment is usually located on the back of the key fob. Look for a small indentation or a slot where you can insert the screwdriver or pry tool.
Step 3: Open the battery compartment
Insert the screwdriver or pry tool into the slot and gently pry open the battery compartment. Be careful not to apply too much force to avoid damaging the key fob.
Step 4: Remove the old battery
Once the battery compartment is open, you should see the old battery. Carefully remove the old battery and set it aside.
Step 5: Insert the new battery
Take the new battery and make sure it is facing the correct direction. Usually, the positive (+) side should be facing up.
Insert the new battery into the battery compartment, ensuring it fits snugly in place.
Step 6: Close the battery compartment
Once the new battery is in place, gently close the battery compartment. You should hear a click or feel it snap shut.
Step 7: Test the key fob
Now that you have replaced the battery, it’s time to test the key fob. Stand near your vehicle and press the buttons to check if they are working properly. If the key fob is functioning as expected, you have successfully replaced the battery.
