Thanks Hills - good for me to be able to do - not due for a service for a while. The dealer supposedly checked the battery at the last service!
Cheers,
Sally
There is a video on youtube Sal on how to replace it. I did both of mine last month when I got a Low Battery Message, took me all of 2 minutes to do both.
Have got this once ourselves, when towing the van last week. Has not appeared since, hoping the van's electrics confused it! Sometimes you have to get up close to unlock the doors when the van's attached, fine without the van. Strange?
A colleague has got the same message a few times during the past few weeks. His played up a bit to open the car, but started the car ok. Now he has the key fob low battery on the Evic.
Advice on what to do please!
Has anyone changed their own battery successfully to gel with the car or is it a dealer (and I bet expensive), job?
Does it need changing straight away or wait for more warnings?
Thanks for the feedback and advice.
Cheers,
Sally
If it takes you longer than 30 seconds to change it yourself I will be very surprised. I had the same symptoms especially the unlocking, and new battery sorted it. From memory it is just a standard cr2012 battery and the key just pops apart. It is in the manual obviously as well.
