3. Remove the fuse box cover.
4. Pinch the locking tabs
O1andO2found
on each side of the storage switch.
5. Pull the storage switch straight out from the fuse box

dust or oil get on the components.
• There is danger of explosion if the
lithium battery is incorrectly re-
placed. Replace only with the same

REPLACEMENT
Do-it yourself8-19

Replace the battery in the Intelligent Key as
follows:
1. Remove the mechanical key from theIntelligent Key. 2. Insert a small screwdriver into the slit of
the corner and twist it to separate the
upper part from the lower part. Use a
cloth to protect the casing.
3. Replace the battery with a new one. Recommended battery:
CR2025 or equivalent• Do not touch the internal circuit and electric terminals as doing so could
cause a malfunction.
• Hold the battery by the edges. Holding the battery across the contact points
will seriously deplete the storage
capacity.
• Make sure that the side faces the
bottom of the case. 4. Align the tips of the upper and lower
parts
