Changing the battery
Separate remote fob
- The remote is a small standalone unit. You will not need to touch the ignition key at all.
- Turn it over: some older fobs use one small screw, newer ones just clip. Pry at the seam once any screw is out.
- Swap the cell or cells, keeping the same side up as the old ones.
- Reassemble and test from a short distance.
A CR2032 is 20 mm across and 3.2 mm thick. CR2032, CR2025 and CR2016 share the same width but not the same thickness, so a swap between them can leave a loose contact or a case that will not close.
Keep spare coin cells away from small children. A swallowed coin cell can burn the throat within hours; if it happens, go to an emergency room at once.
