Warning

Never allow children to play with the RKE transmitter. The transmitter contains a small battery, which can be a choking hazard. If swallowed, internal burns can occur, resulting in severe injury or death. Seek medical attention immediately if a battery is swallowed.

Warning

To avoid personal injury, do not touch metal surfaces on the RKE transmitter when it has been exposed to extreme heat. These surfaces can be hot to the touch at temperatures above 59 °C (138 °F).

Caution

When replacing the battery, do not touch any of the circuitry on the transmitter. Static from your body could damage the transmitter.

Caution

Always replace the battery with the correct type. Replacing the battery with an incorrect type could potentially create a risk of battery explosion. Dispose of used batteries according to instructions and local laws. Do not attempt to burn, crush, or cut the used battery, and avoid exposing the battery to environments with extremely low air pressures or high temperatures.

Replace the battery in the transmitter soon if the DIC displays REPLACE BATTERY IN REMOTE KEY.

To replace the battery:

  1. Press the button on the RKE transmitter to remove the key. Never pull the key out without pressing the button.

  2. Insert a flat, thin object in the center of the transmitter to separate and remove the back cover.

  3. Lift the battery with a flat object.
  4. Remove the battery.
  5. Insert the new battery, positive side toward the back cover. Replace with a CR2032 or equivalent battery.
  6. Push together the transmitter.
  7. Insert the key back into the RKE transmitter.
