Key Fob Battery Low Light

Informational - status, not a fault

low key battery light · remote battery warning light

What it means

The battery inside the wireless key fob is running low, which can eventually affect remote locking, unlocking, or keyless start range.

Common causes

  • Key fob coin cell battery naturally depleting over 1-3 years of use

What to do

Replace the small coin cell battery inside the key fob (usually CR2032 or similar) - this is a simple, inexpensive fix you can often do yourself with the fob's manual.

Can you keep driving?

Yes, this does not affect the car itself, only the convenience features of the key fob.
