Replacing The Battery In The Key Fob
The replacement battery model is one CR2450
battery.
NOTE:
Customers are recommended to use a battery
obtained from Mopar®. Aftermarket coin
battery dimensions may not meet the original
OEM coin battery dimensions.
Perchlorate Material — special handling may
apply. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazard-
ouswaste/perchlorate for further information.
Do not touch the battery terminals that are on
the back housing or the printed circuit board.
Do not replace the coin battery if the LED on the
key fob above the top row buttons blinks when
a button is pressed. The coin battery should last
a minimum of three years with normal vehicle
usage.

fob cover while applying pressure until the
cover snaps open.
3. Next, locate the gap on the right side of the key fob, which is positioned further to the edge
than the left side gap. Pry open the right side,
and remove the back cover. 4. Remove the battery by using your thumb to
slide the battery downward and back toward
the key ring.

Key Fob Battery Location
