Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote
keyless entry transmitter should last about
four years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter
will not work at the normal range in any location.
If you have to get close to your vehicle before
the transmitter works, it is probably time to change
the battery.
The REPLACE BATTERY IN REMOTE KEY
message in the vehicle’s DIC will display if the
remote keyless entry transmitter battery is
low. See “REPLACE BATTERY IN REMOTE KEY”
under DIC Warnings and Messages on page 197
for additional information.
Notice: When replacing the battery, use care
not to touch any of the circuitry. Static
from your body transferred to these surfaces
may damage the transmitter.
To replace the battery in the remote keyless entry
transmitter do the following:
1. Use a flat object with a thin edge into the
notch, located below the trunk release
button, and separate the bottom half from the
top half of the transmitter.
2. Remove the old battery, but do not use a
metal object to do this.
