Replacing the Battery
When the remote transmitter's battery begins to get weak, it may
take several pushes on the button to
lock or unlock the doors, and the LED will get dim. Replace the
battery as soon as possible.
Battery type: CR2025 To replace the battery, remove the
round cover on the back of the trans-
mitter by turning it counterclockwise
with a coin.
Remove the old battery and note the
polarity. Make sure the polarity of
the new battery is the same (+ side
facing up), then insert it in the transmitter. Reinstall the 0-ring. Align the
mark on the cover with the
mark on the transmitter,
then set the cover in place and turn it
clockwise.
After the battery is changed, the transmitter must be synchronized
with the main unit. With the doorsand trunk lid closed, press either the
LOCK or UNLOCK button six times.
Test the transmitter by locking and unlocking the doors several times.
