Battery Replacement - Chevrolet 2008 Equinox Owner's Manual

Matching Transmitter(s) to
Your Vehicle
Each RKE transmitter is coded to prevent another
transmitter from unlocking your vehicle. If a transmitter is
lost or stolen, a replacement can be purchased through
your dealer/retailer. All transmitters need to be re-coded
to match the new transmitter. The lost transmitter will
no longer work after the new transmitters are re-coded.
The vehicle can have a maximum of four transmitters
matched to it. Or, see "Learn Remote Key" under DIC
Operation and Displays on page 3-43 for instructions
on how to match RKE transmitters to your vehicle.

Battery Replacement

The battery is weak if the transmitter will not work at
the normal range in any location. If you have to get
close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
change the battery.
Notice: When replacing the battery, use care not
to touch any of the circuitry. Static from your
body transferred to these surfaces may damage
the transmitter.
To replace the battery in the RKE transmitter:
1. Separate the halves of the transmitter with a flat,
thin object inserted into the notch on the side.
2. Remove the old battery. Do not use a metal object.
3. Insert the new battery, positive side facing down.
Replace with a CR2032 or equivalent battery.
4. Put the transmitter back together tightly.
