It's time for Maintenance Monday!
With August heat still hanging around, here’s one for anyone driving a vehicle with a key fob or push-button start: do not forget about that little battery.
If your vehicle is taking extra tries to unlock, the push-button start is acting picky, or you keep seeing “key not detected,” the battery inside your fob may be getting weak.
It is a small thing, but it can turn into a big headache at the worst time, especially when you are already dealing with heat, errands, school traffic, and busy mornings.
Old-school key drivers, you can have Maintenance Monday off. Everybody else, it may be worth paying attention before the fob decides to be stubborn in a parking lot.
