How to Replace the Key Battery of the Opel Meriva

Model: Vauxhall Meriva MK 2, Meriva B - Years 2010-2017
Part: Key

The video thoroughly demonstrates how to change the cover of an Opel Meriva key, including how to replace the battery. It’s quite simple: you will need a small lever to open the plastic element of the key. Once opened, you will see the battery compartment. Remove the old battery and insert a new one. Be careful with the polarity, as reversing it may cause it not to work. Reassemble the plastic element by securely fitting the two pieces together. Replacing the key battery of an Opel Meriva is necessary when the buttons no longer function.

This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
