Default You learn something new every day

I have had my car 7 years now (the longest I have ever owned a car) and TIL that I have a dashboard warning light to tell me my keyfob battery is low.
I'm impressed!

I had mine for 12 years and never knew, but the keys and locks were replaced after around half that time after my wife's handbag had been stolen with my spare key in it. Insurance job that cost about £650 .

My battery fob warning came on about 5 years ago, so I changed the battery.
I wonder when it will come on again?

Buy a V8 and you’ll only find fumes.

Is the battery fob warning on all models or just the higher spec ones? Will my ZT 120 have it?

Sorry, don't know. I've checked the owner handbook and it is not mentioned.
I'm sure that one of the experts will be along and advise you
