Replace the battery if the REPLACE BATTERY IN REMOTE KEY message displays in the DIC.
See “Replace Battery In Remote Key” under Key and Lock Messages for additional information.
Notice: When replacing the battery, do not touch any of the circuitry on the transmitter.
Static from your body could damage the transmitter.

To replace the battery:
1. Separate the transmitter with a flat, thin object inserted into the notch, located above the metal base.
2. Remove the old battery. Do not use a metal object.
3. Insert the new battery, positive side facing up. Replace with a CR2032 or equivalent battery.
4. Snap the transmitter back together.
