Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: flathead screwdriver, new CR2032 battery.
Ensure you are working in a clean, dry area to avoid losing small components.

2. Open the Key Fob

Locate the seam along the edge of the key fob.
Use the flathead screwdriver to gently pry open the key fob at the seam, starting at one end and working your way around. Be careful not to damage the casing.

3. Replace the Battery

Remove the old battery from the key fob by noting the battery orientation (+ and - sides).
Insert the new CR2032 battery in the same orientation as the old one, ensuring it sits firmly in place.

4. Reassemble the Key Fob

Align the two halves of the key fob and press them together until they click into place.
Make sure there are no gaps between the two halves indicating it is not fully closed.

5. Test the Key Fob

Stand near the vehicle and test the key fob's functionality by locking and unlocking the doors.
