    I attach a photo of the message which has been appearing intermittently over the past week or so when turning the vehicle on or off. Car has been running fine, has just been serviced (was hoping this would fix it as it was overdue).

    Does anyone know what this means??

    Thanks!

    If your keyfob batteries are 2 or more years old, I believe it's telling you to change your keyfob batteries.

    Oh thank you so much, I think that is the only old similar thread I didn't check! Thanks, that's really helpful and I'm glad it's not something serious

    FYI, if your keyfob batteries die before you get new ones, you can start the car by holding the keyfob up against the Start button and it will work. Even if the battery is out of the keyfob.

    The batteries for the fobs are CR1632.
