How to use the HATCH button
To only unlock the hatch, press and hold the HATCH button. The doors are kept closed. After that, the hatch is automatically locked when you close it.

To remove the internal key, start by pressing and holding down the button on the front of the key fob. When your key is taken out, a slot beneath the keyhole is visible. Put a flat-head screwdriver into the slot, twist it, and then insert it. The key fob’s two halves will separate.
Use your thin instrument, such as a precise screwdriver, to pry the battery out. The battery will pop out if you approach it from the right side, push all the way to the bottom, and then gently pull the tool back. A fresh CR2032 battery should be inserted face-down. Once it clicks into place, push it down.
Reassemble the key fob by pushing the two parts together, then reinstall the internal key. Pushing a button should activate the light on the front of the key if the battery is charged.

Hyundai vehicles can be operated without a key fob.
Once the engine is going, the automobile will still work without the key fob. Additionally, switching from park to drive is trouble-free even when the key is not available.
How much does a new Hyundai key fob cost?
It’s more likely that you will be allowed to utilize an aftermarket key fob if your automobile is at least ten years old, according to CR’s Ibbotson. Many of these less sophisticated fobs can be configured by the consumer, a local technician, or an automotive locksmith.
Ibbotson advises making sure to phone your neighborhood garage first to confirm that they can do the task, as key-fob programming equipment levels can vary from shop to shop. For instance, a Maryland-based repair shop called Murray’s Auto Clinics informed CR that they are unable to program key fobs for any vehicle with push-button start or keyless entry.
We took our vehicle to M.J. Sullivan Hyundai in New London, Connecticut, where we were charged $120 for programming (one hour of labor), which is what they would have charged us if we had purchased the key fob from them.
Hyundai sent us a laser-cut mechanical backup key for $72.47, bringing the total cost to $272.42 (the car waited at the shop for two days); if we had ordered the key fob through the store, the total would have been $428.92).
For some makes and models, you can purchase a cheap aftermarket fob and program it yourself if your home unexpectedly gains a third driver, such as a teenager.
We purchased a fob from BestKeys from Amazon for CR’s 2008 Chrysler Town & Country minivan. Although it lacks the Chrysler branding on the back, it resembles the two original fobs that came with the minivan when it was new. The uncut mechanical key and internal circuitry were both included in the $14.30 price. (However, we didn’t see the need to shell out the cash to have a locksmith cut that third key.)
Chrysler customers can program a third key fob themselves if they already have two functional ones, just like GM owners can. The owner’s manual contains clear and straightforward programming instructions.

How can I tell if the battery in my key fob needs to be changed?
When the battery in the fob gets weaker, the transmitter’s range decreases. Your range is deteriorating if you find that you need to be much closer to your automobile than usual. This serves as a reminder to replace your battery. Other signs comprise:
- If your key doesn’t signal at all
- If you have to click the button several times before your car responds
- If your key remote behaves erratically or inconsistently
Can a key fob with a low battery prevent a car from starting?
Yes, a key fob with short battery life may prevent your automobile from starting. The key fob for your automobile is an electrical gadget with a battery inside that powers signals sent from the key fob to your car. Your car’s computerized systems get alerts in accordance with the key fob commands you press, and the vehicle subsequently reacts as necessary.
This function depends on the battery in your car’s key fob; if it runs out, you might not be able to start your car without a jumpstart. Your ability to start your car may be affected if the battery in your Honda keyless remote is low.
What occurs when the battery in your key fob runs low?
The transmitter’s range decreases as the fob battery gets weaker. This implies that for the key fob to operate, you must be close to the vehicle. When a smart key fob is in your pocket or handbag for automobiles with push-button starts, the car might not always detect it if the battery is low.
