A common issue is the breakage of the remote key cover, especially around the opening and closing buttons; you can purchase just the cover aftermarket to restore the key. Remove the remote part by pulling it back; then open the two halves of the old cover to extract the circuit board to insert into the new cover.

Also, apply a new battery, close the halves, and insert the remote back into the original key. In just a few minutes and at a low cost, you will have a practically new key.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
