This
automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the third generation (2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016
and 2017) Mitsubishi Outlander Sport in changing a dead battery in
the smart or "intelligent" key fob remote control for the keyless
entry and push button start systems. Owners of other Mitsubishi vehicles such as the Lancer, Outlander, Mirage, ASX, RVR, Galant, I-MIEV, Montero, Eclipse, 3000GT, Endeavor, Raider, Diamante, Attrage, Carisma, Colt, Grandis, Magna, Pajero and the Space Star may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. A compatible replacement coin cell (A.K.A. "button" or "watch") battery is part number CR2032. The only tool needed to access and replace the battery is a small flathead screwdriver used to pry open the housing. |

Small Notch Bottom Edge |
The first step is
to separate the key ring and your other keys from the fob. Turn over the key fob and locate the switch. Slide the switch to release the backup / emergency metal ignition key. Set the metal ignition key aside in a safe place. Locate the small notch on the bottom edge of the fob. |

Pry Open Two Halves |
Key Fob Separated |
Pop Out Old Battery |
To prevent from
scratching the plastic surfaces, you may choose to cover the tip of your
screwdriver with a thin micro fiber cloth. Insert the blade of the screwdriver in to the notch and gently pry apart the two halves of the fob. Set the rear cover of the fob aside in a safe place. Either use your fingernail or the flathead screwdriver to gently pry the old CR2032 battery out of its socket. Try to avoid bending the metal electrical contacts or scratching the green circuit board. |
