•Structures around the vehicle
•Other vehicles parked next to the vehicle
To replace the battery:

halves of the transmitter near the
key ring. DO NOT TAKE THE
FRONT PART OF THE
TRANSMITTER APART.
2. Place the positive (+) side of new
battery up. Refer to the diagram
inside the transmitter unit.
3. Snap the two halves back
together.
