If you are on this page, you have probably tried to open your Polo with the remote, but unfortunately, you received no response. You likely didn't notice that the battery was running low. Don't worry, you are in the right place.

In this guide, I will explain how to do it step by step. You will soon realise how simple it is. On the side of the device buttons, press the button on the edge to release the key. Now, using a lever, you can lift the cover that protects the battery.

Great, now you can proceed to replace it with the new part. Snap the cover back on, and now you are ready to go.
