should last about three years.
If the battery is weak the transmitter will not work within

battery if you have to be very close to the vehicle before
the transmitter works.
Notice:When replacing the battery, use care not to
touch any of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred to these surfaces may damage the
transmitter.To replace the battery do the following:
1. Insert a at object like a thin coin into the slot on
the back of the transmitter and pry apart the front
and back.
2. Remove the old battery, but do not use a metal
object to do this. Make sure the new battery is a
type CR2032 or equivalent, and that the positive (+)
side of the battery is facing down.
3. Snap the front and back of the transmitter together.
4. Resynchronize and test the operation of the
transmitter with the vehicle.
Resynchronization
After the battery has been changed in the remote
keyless transmitter, it will need to be resynchronized. To
do this, press and hold both the LOCK and UNLOCK
