My owner manual describes opening the remote to replace its battery by inserting a thin object into the slot on the side. Neither of my remotes have a slot as described. Asking my local dealer for help only gets me an invitation to bring my car in for (expensive) service.
I need specific instructions so I can replace the batteries.
Thanks for your help.

You may have to attack the seam of the case as you see it, irrespective of any visable slot. A thin, small, flathead screwdriver should do the trick. If it were me, I’d wedge the case apart in an inconspicuous part of the case, say along the area where the key ring is looped through, so as to minimize scratching.

I use a plastic spudger tool. You can get one from iFixit for $2.95:
http://www.ifixit.com/Tools/Spudger/IF145-002Shove either the sharp end or the flat end and move it up/down and around the key fob until it starts to give. Using a plastic tool like this doesn’t cause scratches and is usually softer than the key fob material itself.
