Using a flathead screwdriver, lever the rear side of the key for your Opel Meriva. Then, lift and remove the rear section that you have freed. This will expose the exhausted battery of the key. Proceed to extract the battery from its housing in the key. Once you have removed the battery, dispose of it, and you will have completed the disassembly. To fit the new battery and close the key, follow this procedure in reverse, and the replacement will be complete.
