Part: Key

Video tutorial

When the remote key for your vehicle no longer responds and fails to unlock the doors or central locking, it is time to replace the battery inside. This guide provides instructions on how to proceed.

First, extract the emergency key, then take a small screwdriver to pry off the rear panel of the key. This will give you access to the compartment containing the battery, which you can remove using the same pointed object. Replace it with the new battery, ensuring the positive terminal is facing upwards.

Finally, reattach the rear panel and reinsert the emergency key.
