This automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist owners of the third generation (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and probably also the revised 2019 & 2020 model years) Nissan Murano SUV in changing a dead or weak battery in the intelligent or "smart" key fob remote control for the keyless entry system.

Owners of other Nissan and Infiniti vehicles such as the Rogue, Pathfinder, Armada, Versa, Sentra, Altima, Maxima, Leaf, 370Z, GT-R, Frontier, Titan, NV200, Q50, Q70, Q60, QX30, QX50, QX60, QX70 and QX80 may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

The compatible replacement coin cell (also known as a "button" or "watch" battery) is part number CR2032.

The only tool needed to access and change the battery is a small flathead screwdriver or a plastic pry bar tool.
