Honda CR-V: Replacing the Transmitter Battery
If it takes several pushes on the button to lock or unlock the doors and the tailgate, replace the battery as soon as possible.
Battery type: CR1616
To replace the battery:
1. Remove the screw at the base of the transmitter with a small Phillips-head screwdriver.
NOTE: Be careful when removing this screw as the head of the screw can strip out.
2. Separate the transmitter by prying its middle seam with your fingernail.
3. Inside the transmitter, separate the inner cover from the keypad by carefully prying on the edge with a coin.
4. Remove the old battery and note the polarity. Make sure the polarity of the new battery is the same (+ side facing down), then insert it in the keypad.
An improperly disposed of battery can hurt the environment.
Always confirm local regulations for battery disposal.
5. Install the parts in reverse order.
