18 Keys, doors and windows
Replacing the battery in
the remote control
A
As soon as the range of the remote
control reduces, replace the battery:
1. Remove the key from the
transmitter. See Manual door
locks on page 20.
2. Separate the transmitter by
placing a flat, thin object into the
slot on the side of the transmitter.
3. Remove the battery (A) and
replace with the new one, making
sure the positive (+) side of the
battery is facing down. Replace
with a CR2032 or equivalent
battery.
4. Reassemble the transmitter
ensuring the cover is engaged
correctly.
5. Insert the key back into the
transmitter.
6. Test the operation of the
transmitter.
Note
Avoid touching the flat surfaces of
the battery, the circuit board and
other components inside the remote
control with bare fingers. Handling
will shorten battery life.
About the keys
• Ensure that other keys on the
key ring are not between the
transmitter and the vehicle.
• The remote control in the
transmitter has a range of
approximately 30 metres.
• The range depends on
the charge of the transmitter
battery, on ambient conditions,
the transmitter’s location and the
area between the transmitter and
the vehicle.
• If the transmitter buttons do not
work, move closer to the vehicle.
• Take care that no button is
pressed unintentionally, especially
when the vehicle is out of sight.
• Metallic window tint reduces the
range of the transmitter.
• The transmitter buttons may not
work if the vehicle is parked near
strong radio activity, such as
under TV towers (most likely in
high lookout car parks).
