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.
And your reading comprehension had better be on high alert with these kinds of operations. Ask me how I know. :-)
