Hi can anyone tell me which type Battery goes into the remote for is200 please and thanks.

The reason is it smokes for a couple of seconds in the morning after standing all night and i read a post on here that someone changed the pcv valve and it stopped so im just going through cheap options before i have to fork out loads of cash changing valve seals.
