Remote no longer locks or unlocks...help!

My manual is at home and my remote quit working. Is there a battery that can be changed without totaly screwing things up as I can not see a seam that would allow access to a battery but there has to be one in there.

Thanks!

There is a manual key to use if you are in a bind and the remote isn't working. It's buried inside of the electronic key, just hit the little switch near the key ring and it pops out.

If changing the battery doesn't work, I'd have your RF antenna checked. For Coupes it's in the rear hatch. For Sedans it's at the back of the rear headliner.

Mine was affected by the solution used to install my tint and would've cost a lot of money had my dealership not fixed it as a "good will" gesture!
