- Press and slide the button that releases the metal key, and then slide the key out.
- Use the key or a small flathead screwdriver to gently pry the key fob open.
- Press your thumb down right above the battery to hold the fob together so the contents and external buttons don’t fall out.
- Remove the dead battery, taking note of the positive and negative sides in order to install the new battery correctly. Don’t touch the terminals on the new battery. The oils on your skin can cause corrosion, which shortens battery life.
