What You’ll Need

Before you get started, gather the following items:

• A small flat-head screwdriver or a coin
• A new CR2032 battery (This is the most common type of battery used in Nissan key fobs. Check your owner’s manual to be sure.)

Replacing the Battery: A Step-by-Step Guide

Once you have your tools and battery ready, follow these steps:

1. Locate the release button on the back of your key fob. This is a small button or switch that releases the key.
2. Press the release button and gently pull the key out of the fob.
3. Use the flat-head screwdriver or coin to pry open the key fob casing. There is usually a small notch or indentation where you can insert the screwdriver. Be gentle to avoid damaging the casing.
4. Carefully separate the two halves of the key fob to expose the battery.
5. Note the orientation of the battery. Most key fob batteries have a “+” sign facing up.
6. Gently remove the old battery and install the new battery in the same orientation.
7. Align the two halves of the key fob and press them together firmly until you hear a click. This indicates that the casing is securely closed.
8. Reinsert your car key into the fob.
9. Test the key fob to ensure it is functioning correctly.

• Make sure the new battery is properly installed and has a full charge.
