Find the battery's hatch and open it using an open-ended flathead, coin, or other similar tool. Then, carefully pull out the battery by lifting the side closest to the hook on the key-ring.

Place the new battery in the socket after the old one is removed. Make sure that the positive side is facing up and that it is placed within all clips.

How to Start Your Vehicle
Modern vehicles come with key fobs that do more than simply unlock and lock the doors. They can also perform other functions such as summoning and auto parking the vehicle. In fact, the brand new Volvo XC60 can even remotely start the engine using key fob buttons. But what exactly is it that works?
First, locate a clean surface on which you can lay out all of the necessary items for this project. Place the fob on the surface with the Volvo logo facing upwards. Use a flathead or coin, or similar tool to open the battery hatch. Be careful not to touch the electronic contact surfaces with your tools. This could cause the fob to stop functioning properly.
When the hatch is opened and the battery is in its socket, making sure it is properly seated with the positive (+) side facing upwards. Once the clips are locked into place, replace battery cover and then put it back together the fob.
When you press the unlock button just once the alarm will disengaged and the driver's door will be unlocked. Pressing it again will unlock all doors and the tailgate. The unlock button can also be useful to roll down the windows to let in fresh, cool air on a hot summer day. If you're looking for more, the key fob can also be used to turn on ERS, which will activate your vehicle's climate control system and then warm or cool it according to the desired temperature setting when the vehicle is in a parking spot.
How to Replace the Battery
If your key fob isn't locking or unlocking your car as it did in the past and it's possible that it's time to replace the battery. The battery can be replaced with a flathead screwdriver, plastic pry bar, or other small tools. Locate the small slot that houses the backup/emergency key fob made of metal.
