Battery Replacement

Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about three years.

You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter won’t
work at the normal range in any location. If you have to
get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it’s probably time to change the battery.

NOTICE:

When replacing the battery, use care not to 
touch any of the circuitry. Static from your 
body transferred to these surfaces may damage
the transmitter.

To replace the battery do the following:

1. Insert a flat object like a thin coin into the slot on the

back of the transmitter. Gently pry apart the front
and back.

2. Remove the old battery and replace it with the new

one. (Use type CR2032 or an equivalent.) Make sure
the positive (+) side of the battery is facing down.
Do not use a metal object to remove the old battery.

3. Snap the top and bottom together, making sure the

halves are together tightly so water won’t get in.

4. Test the operation of the transmitter with your vehicle.
