My lights flashed as normal, but the car would not lock or unlock. It locked everything on the key, but only the driver's door unlocked on the key, and the immobilisor stayed on. So, no drivey till I fetched the spare fob. Must carry spare batteries with me in future. Could be a long way from home next time.

in the handbook page 6. It will work for a while but when completely flat you are knackered. So I suppose if you keep an eye on the light you will be able to swap em before they are totally flat.
