Smart Key Battery Replacement

NOTE: It is recommended that all smart key batteries are replaced at the same time on Passive Entry Passive Start (PEPS) vehicles.

To provide long term reliability of the smart key the battery must be replaced with a brand new, unused smart key battery. If a used smart key battery is installed the 'Smart Key Battery Low' message may not be cleared. To avoid contamination of the contacts the smart key battery should be removed from its packaging and installed into the smart key while wearing gloves.

To confirm that the replacement smart key battery is working correctly:

Press the unlock switch twice while holding the smart key outside the vehicle.
Enter the vehicle with the smart key.
Operate the ignition switch.
Confirm that 'Smart Key Battery Low' message is not displayed.
