Replacing Remote Key Battery

Model: Saab 9 3 MK 2 - Years 2002-2014
Part: Key

To replace the battery in the remote key, first locate the hole on the side edge of the key: insert a small screwdriver into the hole and press to release the retaining tab of the cover, which can then be removed. At this point, remove the old battery and insert the new one (model CR 1632) with the positive terminal facing upwards. Once the new battery is inserted, reattach the cover and test the remote for proper operation. It is advisable to carry out the various operations carefully to avoid breaking the plastic clips.
