Help. Smart key not working

[Othee6lool]

Hi my smart key isn't working and I'm stuck. Do the batteries die real fast or something? I can't figure out how to open the fob.

 

[JAM]

key fob opens and the key slides out - the door handle flips up on the right side from the bottom to insert the key - to start your car you press the start button with the top of the key fob.

Ok thanks so now I'm started. You think the key fob battery is dead? How do I change it?

 

[JAM]

Key fob is probably dead - not sure how to open it but its in your manual - usually it either slides open or cracks open with a butter knife. If you store your keys in your house close to you car outside they might be constantly communicating which can drain the battery quickly.

You should be able to open the case once you remove the key.

Just purchased my Telluride July 2021. It’s a 2022. I’ve never had to replace a battery in a key fob. But, one of my keys is already going. I switched to the other one so I had time. The battery is a 2032. There are videos or how tos on how to switch it out. But, really?! Not even a year out of the first battery.

It’s in the Owners Manual. This is the page from 2022 but I suspect your key will be similar.
