The key of your Opel Meriva stops opening the car with the buttons because the internal battery has likely run out. To resolve this issue, you need to replace the battery. Start by prising off the rear cover of the key using your hands, which will give you access to the exhausted battery.

Proceed to remove it, and the disassembly will be complete. To fit the new battery and close the key, simply repeat these instructions in reverse, and the replacement will be finished.
