"Hands-free" card: battery

Replacing the battery

When the "Keycard Battery Low" message appears on the instrument panel, replace the card battery: press button 1 while pulling the emergency key 2 then unclip the cover 3 using the tab 4.
Remove the battery by pressing on one side (movement A) and by lifting the other (movement B) then replace it, observing the polarity and model indicated on the cover 3.
To refit, proceed in the reverse order then press one of the buttons on the card four times while you are near the vehicle: the next time the vehicle is started, the message will disappear.
Check that the cover is clipped shut.
Note: when replacing the battery, do not touch the electronic circuit or contacts on the card.
Tip
The batteries are available from approved Dealers, and their service life approximately two years. Check that there is no dye on the battery: risk of an incorrect electrical contact.
WARNING
If they need to be replaced, be sure to use the same or equivalent type of battery (consult an Approved Dealer).
WARNING
When replacing:
  • make sure that the batteries are correctly inserted.
