Model: Vauxhall Meriva Meriva A, MK 1 - Years 2003-2010
Part: Key

Are you unable to use the key fob for your Opel Meriva? Here’s how to change the flat battery inside. Take your key fob and use a screwdriver to pry between the two covers of the key. Remove the worn battery, take a new one of the same size and voltage, and place it inside. Refit the plastic on your key fob by pressing on the key cover until you hear it click into place. Check that the key fob works correctly. If it does not work, ensure the battery is installed in the correct position.
