1. Carefully open the key fob casing using a small flat-head screwdriver or a prying tool.
2. Note the orientation of the existing battery.
3. Remove the old battery and insert a new one of the same type (typically a coin cell battery like CR2032), ensuring correct polarity.
4. Snap the key fob casing back together securely.

General Care:

• Avoid exposing the key fob to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or moisture.
• Do not drop the key fob or subject it to strong impacts.
• Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth if necessary.

If your AutoKeyMax key fob is not functioning as expected, consider the following:

• Remote Not Responding:

  • Re-attempt the programming procedure as outlined in Section 3.
  • Verify that your vehicle's factory keyless entry system is operational with other remotes (if applicable).
• Reduced Range:
  • This often indicates a low battery. Replace the battery.
  • Environmental interference can also affect range.
• Incompatible Vehicle:
  • Double-check your vehicle's make, model, year, and existing part numbers against the compatibility list in Section 2.
