To replace the battery in the remote key, open the key blade (the metal strip that acts as a mechanical key) and use a screwdriver to pry apart the back of the key (the part with the buttons) from the front. At this point, open the two halves of the remote to access the battery and replace it. In the newer version of the key, which has a smaller logo, you can access the battery without separating the key, simply by removing the battery cover.

In both cases, ensure the polarity is respected.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
