    Key battery replacement

    You don't need to remove spare tyre. First remove back plastic on the boot inside. Then unbutton right hand side panel cover, the alarm is there.

    Key battery replacement

    To use the car stop alarm first. Remove cover in the boot (driver side) and disconnect alarm plug. Check alarm battery inside as well. After all find sequence pressing fob buttons to stop alarm (I don't remember how, read forum). If you find how to do it you can try stop it without disconnect plug.
