Got the warning at startup today. Is this something I can fix or do I have to go to the dealer?

It looks like removal of seats, trunk, and trunk track. Remove cover. Change batteries. Reverse procedure.
Can I just use any CR123 3v battery?
I don’t see anything in the procedure that requires any particular level of expertise.

Thanks! I did see that. Doesn’t say anything about the batteries.

Super easy fix. Just put in new batteries.

Let me be more specific. And I’m talking about the service manual pics that were posted.
Nowhere does it mention what specific batteries to use as replacements. Nor can I find an OEM recommendation for same.
Will any CR123 3v battery suffice?
That is what I want to know.

Of course. But it doesn’t have to be some specific, arcane, German battery.

The CR123 battery is a special battery that is used in many, many devices especially flashlights. Available most everywhere, they have a size and capacity advantage over other battery systems.
Here is one for all you battery aficionados, inside a normal every day 9Volt battery is 6-AAA batteries nicely nestled.
