Replacing the battery

The intelligent access key (IA key) uses one coin type three-volt lithium battery CR2032 or equivalent.
To replace the battery:
1. Remove the backup key from the transmitter, then twist a thin coin in the slot hidden behind the backup key slot to remove the battery cover.
Note: Do not wipe off any grease on the battery terminals or on the back surface of the circuit board.

2. Remove the old battery.
Note: Please refer to local regulations when disposing of transmitter batteries.
3. Insert the new battery. Refer to
the instructions inside the IA key
for the correct orientation of the
battery. Press the battery down to
ensure that the battery is fully
seated in the battery housing cavity.
4. Snap the battery cover back onto the transmitter and install the
backup key.

Note: Replacement of the battery will not cause the IKT or IA key to become de-programmed from your vehicle. They should operate normally after battery replacement.
