If you notice that the remote control for your vehicle no longer opens the doors and activates or deactivates the central locking, it is time to replace the battery inside. The following description provides all the necessary steps for the replacement. First, obtain a new CR 2025 battery, then use a small screwdriver to pry at the junction between the key and the cover to remove the latter. Under the cover, you will find the battery, which you can remove with a sharp object and replace with the new one, ensuring the polarity is correct. Then, reattach the cover to the remote.
