Replacing Ignition/Remote Key Battery

Model: Dodge Caliber MK 1 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Key

Nowadays, as you know, the car key is no longer just a simple key. Thanks to new technologies, the key now includes a small remote that opens and closes the doors. These micro electric circuits obviously operate with a button cell battery. Over time, after frequent use, it will certainly be useful to replace the battery. To do this, look for a small notch on the edge of the key. From there, you can leverage with a small screwdriver to open the two plastic shells. Now, simply replace the battery with another that has the same numerical code (in this specific case, 2032). Also, keep in mind the correct orientation of the battery, respecting the polarity.
Car model: Dodge Caliber
Required tools: small flathead screwdriver.
