Replacing the batteries
The transmitter is powered by two coin type
three-volt lithium batteries. Typical operating range
will allow you to be up to 10 meters (33 feet) away

²nearby radio towers
²structures around the vehicle
²other vehicles parked next to the vehicle
To replace the
batteries:

remote transmitter to become deprogrammed from
your vehicle. The remote transmitter should operate
normally after battery replacement.
