automotive "how-to" guide was specifically written to assist owners
of the 1st generation 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 &
2016 GM Chevrolet Traverse crossover
SUV in replacing the coin cell battery in the keyless entry system's
key fob remote control. Owners of other General Motors vehicles from GMC, Saturn, Buick, and Cadillac such as the Acadia, Terrain, Sierra, Yukon, Savana, Outlook, Verano, Regal, Lacrosse, Encore, Enclave, Spark, Sonic, Cruze, Malibu, Impala, Camaro, Equinox, Tahoe, Suburban, Colorado, Avalanche, Silverado, ATS, XTS, CTS, SRX, and Escalade may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. A replacement coin, "watch" or "button" cell battery for the key fob is part # CR2032 from manufacturers such as GE, Sony, Maxell, Duracell, Panasonic and Energizer. The only tool needed to replace the battery is a small flathead screwdriver used to pry apart the two halves. |
