also the refreshed 2017 model year) Hyundai Santa Fe in changing a
dead battery in the key fob remote control for the keyless entry

A replacement coin cell (A.K.A. "button" or "watch") battery is part number CR2032 which are available from various manufacturers such as Panasonic, Sony, Energizer, Duracell, and Maxell. No tools are required to access and replace the key fob battery. |

Pull Off Battery Cover |
Battery Cover Removed |
Pry Out Old Battery |
The first two steps
are to locate the chrome silver button on the front of the key fob and press
it to release the metal ignition key. Insert your thumb in to the slot where the metal ignition key used to reside and firmly pull off the rear cover. Set the battery cover aside in a safe place. Gently pry out the old CR2032 battery from the holder with your finger nail or very carefully use a small flathead screwdriver. |
