If the key fob on your SsangYong Korando (C300, 2019–2022) has gone weak or the central locking has become intermittent, the coin cell inside is almost certainly flat. It’s a quick swap with a CR2032.
Battery First — What You Need
- A CR2032 coin cell.
- A small flat screwdriver.
Replacing the Cell
- Slide out the mechanical key blade, then prise the fob open.
- Remove the old cell.
- Fit a new CR2032 with the positive side facing up (as marked).
- Close the fob and check the remote locks and unlocks the car.
Lost Key or Adding a Spare
A cell swap keeps the existing coding. A lost or broken key must be ordered and programmed by a SsangYong dealer with a diagnostic tool — there’s no owner sequence.
If a Fresh Cell Doesn’t Help
- Check the orientation — the positive side faces up in this fob.
- Use the key blade to unlock the door in the meantime.
- Still intermittent? A receiver fault can store a code — look it up on autodtcs.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
What battery does the SsangYong Korando key use?
A single CR2032 coin cell, fitted positive-side up.
Do I need to reprogram the key after the swap?
No — the coding is retained for a battery change.
Can I program a new Korando key myself?
No — a replacement must be ordered and coded by a dealer.
The fob is dead — can I still get in?
Yes — use the mechanical key blade to unlock the door.
If the fob stopped working after a battery disconnection, decode any stored code on autodtcs.com.
