Replacing the battery of a BMW I3 remote control is a simple and quick operation to be carried out independently. The battery we will use for the replacement is a cr 2032. To replace the battery, we need to remove the top part of the remote control and insert the tip of the metal key, contained inside the remote control, into the internal part of the remote control in order to open the cover and remove the battery.

Insert the new battery and close the cover. Insert the metal key inside the remote control along with the top part.

All that remains is to stand in front of the vehicle to test the functioning of the remote control, in case of continuous malfunction it may be necessary to reprogram the key.

What does the red or orange zig-zag warning light mean on the Dacia Sandero?

In this video, you will learn what the warning light depicting a red or orange zig-zag on the dashboard of the Dacia Sandero means. This is a multifunction warning light; if it appears red, it is a prompt to stop as soon as possible, switch off the engine, and exit the vehicle quickly, contacting a recovery service and the Dacia Dealer. If it lights up orange, it indicates an electronic fault in the vehicle; you can continue driving, but you must reach a Dacia service centre as soon as possible. If it lights up alongside the spanner symbol, it means it is time for a service, which is due every year or 10,000 miles (whichever comes first). The service is mandatory to maintain the warranty. If it lights up together with the tyre warning light, it indicates a loss of pressure in one of the tyres. You should check all the tyres as soon as possible to identify the source of the pressure loss. If it stays on with the engine warning light, it indicates a problem with the vehicle's emissions system; if it flashes, the issue may be a component of the engine, such as the spark plugs or coil, for example. On diesel versions, it may light up alongside the glow plug symbol, indicating a related issue. If it lights up with the ESP symbol, it means there is a fault in the system that needs checking.
