Changing the Remote Control
Battery
The remote control uses one coin-type
three-volt lithium battery CR2032 or
equivalent.
Make sure you dispose of old
batteries in an environmentally
friendly way. Seek advice from
local authorities about recycling old
batteries. 1. Twist a thin coin in the slot of the
remote control near the key ring to
remove the battery cover.
Note: Do not remove the rubber cover and
circuit board from the front housing of the
remote control.
Note: Do not wipe off any grease on the
battery terminals or on the back surface of
the circuit board.
2. Remove the old battery.
3. Insert the new battery. Refer to the symbols inside the remote control for
the correct orientation of the battery.
Press the battery down to make sure
it is fully seated in the housing.
4. Reinstall the battery housing cover onto the remote control.
Note: Replacing the battery does not erase
the programmed key from your vehicle. The
remote control should operate normally.
