Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your RKE
transmitter should last about four years.
The battery is weak if the transmitter will not work
at the normal range in any location. If you have
to get close to your vehicle before the transmitter
works, it is probably time to change the battery.
The KEY FOB BATT LOW message in the
vehicle’s DIC will display if the RKE transmitter
battery is low.
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 in the RKE transmitter do
the following:
1. Insert a at object, with a thin edge, into the
notch located below the vehicle locator/panic
alarm button, and separate the bottom half
from the top half of the transmitter.
2. Remove the battery and replace it with the new
one. Make sure the positive (+) side of the
battery faces up. Use one three-volt, CR2032,
or equivalent, type battery.
3. Snap the front and back together tightly so
moisture will not get inside the transmitter.
4. Test the operation of the transmitter with the
vehicle.
