I have a 2017 i10 car, which is a model made in 2017 with UK specifications.
How do I replace the battery in the key fob? I know it needs a CR2032 battery. Is there anything else I need to do once I’ve put in the new battery, like programming it beforehand?

You’ll typically find a small cover on the back of the key fob that can be pried open to access the battery compartment. Once you’ve replaced the battery, simply snap the key fob back together. There’s no need for additional programming in most cases.

In this case, it’s best to consult your Hyundai dealership for assistance.
