Replacing the key fob’s battery
The key fob’s battery should last for
approximately one year depending on use.
When the battery needs replacing, you’ll
notice a deterioration in performance. For
example, you’ll gradually need to be closer to
the vehicle to operate the key fob.
To replace the battery:
1. Insert a screwdriver into the top of the
key fob and carefully separate the two
halves. Avoid damaging the seal between
the two halves.
2. Remove the battery, taking care to avoid
touching the circuit board or the contact
surfaces of the battery holder.
3. Fit the new battery (type CR2032) with
the ‘+’ sides facing upwards.
If possible, avoid touching the flat
surfaces of the battery because finger
marks will reduce battery life. Wipe the
battery clean before fitting.
4. Re-assemble the two halves of the key
fob by aligning them and pressing them
together until they snap into place.
