[quote=Anonymous]If your car fob is giving you a low battery notification, change battery ASAP (see 1).
I recently had Engine failure while out and about, and learned that there is a trick if you forgot to replace the battery and then your engine won't start (see 2)

1.  Most car key fobs use standard 3V coin cell batteries, most commonly the CR2032, followed by CR2025 or CR1616. These batteries are easily replaced by prying open the fob case with a small screwdriver or coin.

2.  Steps to Start Your Car:
    Hold Against Button: Press the start/stop button directly with the key fob (or hold it right next to the button) while stepping on the brake.
    Locate Hidden Slot: Check the center console, steering column, or cup holder area for a hidden slot to place the key.
    Use Emergency Key: Find the small release button on your fob to slide out a traditional metal key to open the door.
    Replace Battery: Once started, replace the fob battery (usually a CR2032 or similar) as soon as possible

Anyway, I had to call for help but then once I googled it while waiting for help, I was able to start the car  :D 
Hope this helps someone down the road.[/quote]
