A key FOB battery may last 3 years or so, but eventually it needs to be replaced. Also, it is a good idea to read the manual and learn how to unlock and start the vehicle when the key FOB battery fails.
Déjà vu.
Changed both my wife's and my own only two weeks ago.
Car messages me every 2-3 years, so change both each time.
Better safe than sorry.
