Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in the remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about four years.
If the battery is weak the transmitter will not work
within its normal range. It is probably time to
change the battery if you have to be very close to
the vehicle before the transmitter works.
The KEY FOB BATTERY LOW message, in the
vehicle’s DIC, will display, if the remote keyless
entry 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 remote keyless entry
transmitter, do the following:
1. Insert a at object with a thin edge into the
notch, located below the panic alarm button,
and separate the bottom half from the top
half of the transmitter.
2. Remove the old battery and replace it with the
new one. Make sure the positive side (+) of
the battery faces up. Use one three-volt,
CR2032 battery, or equivalent type.
