No tools are needed to access and replace the battery.

The first step is to separate the fob from the key ring and your other keys.

Press the chrome silver button at the top of the key fob to eject the switchblade style metal ignition key.

Insert your thumb in to the empty space where the metal ignition key used to reside.

Firmly pull off the plastic battery access cover from the back of the fob.

Set the cover aside in a safe place.
