Replacing the battery The remote entry transmitter uses one coin type three-volt lithium battery CR2032 or equivalent. The typical operating range for your remote entry transmitter is approximately 10 meters (33 feet). A decrease in the operating range could be caused by: • weather conditions, • nearby radio towers, • structures around the vehicle and • other vehicles parked next to the vehicle. To replace the battery: 1. Twist a thin coin between the two halves of the remote entry transmitter near the key ring. DO NOT TAKE THE FRONT PART OF THE REMOTE ENTRY TRANSMITTER APART. Damage to the transmitter may result in operation failure. 2. Remove the old battery. 72
