The two 3-volt lithium batteries (model CR-1220) supplied in your remote engine start transmitter should last approximately 3 years, depending on usage. When the batteries begin to weaken, you will notice a decrease in range (distance from the vehicle that your remote engine start system operates). Follow the instructions below to change the remote engine start transmitter batteries.

1. Carefully pry the remote engine start transmitter halves apart using a small flathead screwdriver.
