Battery Replacement Under normal use, the battery in your RKE transmitter should last about four years. 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 RKE transmitter battery is low. See "REPLACE BATTERY IN REMOTE KEY" under DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-73 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: 1. Use a flat object with a thin edge into the notch, located above the metal base, 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. 3. Slide the new battery into the transmitter with the positive side of the battery facing up. Use a type CR2032 battery, or equivalent type. 4. Snap the front and the back of the transmitter together tightly so moisture does not get in. 5. Test the operation of the transmitter with the vehicle. 2-7
