2. Release the key: While pressing the release button, gently pull out the metal key from the fob.
3. Open the fob casing: Use the flat-head screwdriver to carefully pry open the key fob casing. Start at the notch where the metal key was inserted. You might hear a slight click when it disengages.
4. Remove and replace the battery: Carefully remove the old CR2032 battery. Avoid touching the battery terminals. Insert the new battery, ensuring the positive (+) side faces up.
5. Reassemble the fob: Align the two halves of the key fob casing and press them firmly together until you hear a click, indicating it’s securely closed.
6. Reinsert the metal key: Slide the metal key back into its slot on the fob.
7. Test the key fob: Try locking and unlocking your car doors using the key fob buttons to ensure the new battery works correctly.
