By moving the small dedicated button, extract and remove the manual key from the casing. Then, using a flat screwdriver, pry along the seam of the key, slowly opening it into two parts.

Once opened, use the small flat screwdriver again, this time underneath the battery. This will allow you to remove it and insert the new one you purchased (it is a C2032, which is very inexpensive and available at supermarkets or hardware stores).

Close the key casing by pressing it together and insert the manual key back in place.

How to reset the Service light on a 2019 Jeep Renegade?

The Service light, depicted as a yellow spanner, illuminates as scheduled to remind the driver that it is time for scheduled maintenance. This means that the set mileage has been reached, or the expected time has passed. The procedure involves turning on the instrument cluster, pressing the accelerator three times, and then turning off the ignition. After this, keep the brake pressed, turn the ignition back on, and then turn it off again. Upon the next ignition, you will notice that the light has been reset.
