Find the battery hatch, and ensure it is set to “open.” Make use of a flathead screwdriver, coin or any other similar tool to open the hatch open. Then, carefully remove the battery by lifting the side closest to the key-ring hook. Be sure to use rubber gloves to protect the clips or electronic contact surfaces. After the battery has been removed, insert the new one into its socket. Make sure that the positive side is facing up and that it's seated in all the clips. Then slide the cover back down and toward the key-ring loop until it loosens and slides off. Then, remove the cover and reveal the key blade, which is hidden inside.

But how exactly does it work? Choose a surface which you can arrange all the materials required for this project. Then, lay the fob down on the work surface with its Volvo logo facing upwards. Then make use of a flathead screwdriver or coin or similar device to flip the battery hatch to the open position. Be careful not to touch the electronic contact surfaces of the fob using your tools, as this can cause the key fob to stop functioning. Once the hatch has been opened, slide the battery in its socket. Make sure that the positive (+ side) is facing up. After the clips are secured into place, replace battery cover, and then reassemble the fob. When you press the unlock button once, the alarm will be disengaged and the driver's door will be unlocked.
