How do you replace the battery in the key fob of an Opel Meriva? This guide shows you how. Take your key fob and separate the part with the buttons from the rest of the cover. Pry between the two parts until they separate halfway; extract the battery using a screwdriver, take a new one of the same size and voltage.

Reassemble the two parts of the key fob cover until you hear the locking click and reattach the piece to the rest of the key. Check the proper functioning of the key fob by testing the door lock and unlock buttons.
