Be cautious not to touch the bottom or top of the battery, as this can reduce the battery's lifespan and cause corrosion of contacts.
After the key is replaced the fob will have to be programmed. This can be done by using the onboard diagnostics (OBD) port on your vehicle.

To program a new key fob, connect the reprogrammed one to the OBD port and follow the onscreen instructions.
