There are usually 2 seams where the fob's two halves meet, and you can gently pull them apart to expose the emergency key blade. You can slide the blade on the key back once the fob has been opened to reveal the battery that was previously in use. It will look like a small coin, with the battery size and plus and minus symbol embossed on one side. Be careful when inserting a brand new battery of the same kind and ensure that it's properly oriented.
