To replace the remote battery, start by opening the key. Next, locate the edge of the battery cover panel and gently lift it with slight pressure to reveal the battery. Remove the battery from its compartment and ensure you replace it with the same model, which is printed on the original battery.

Before inserting the new battery, carefully check the correct polarity and then securely fit it into place. At this point, carefully reattach the battery cover by pressing gently around the entire perimeter of the remote until it is fully and correctly seated.
