Are you familiar with how to get into the car with a dead Key fob? Does the Key fob contain a mechanical key? Do you have a spare battery to power your Key fob? Do you know how to replace the Key fob battery? Do you know where the mechanical key slot to open the car resides?
Are you familiar with how to start a push button car when the Key fob is dead? Does your car have a hidden key slot for the mechanical key to start the car? How do you access slot? Does the car technology allow for the car to start by touching the dead Key fob to the start button.
It sounds like a lot of questions and the answers are different for each car type. Best to know before you have Key fob issues.
Note, I learned today after incurring a dead Key fob.

My 2017 Mercedes GLC gives me dash notice when my FOB battery is low and needs changing. It seems to coincide with my annual service. Mechanical key also inside FOB.
