    My ex speaks Afrikaans having grown up in South Africa (her father is Namibian) and she didn't catch the error. lol

    I blame Google for the Dutch translation. LOL

    Lekker dag!

    Since Afrikaans is based on Dutch I figured you would understand it but like any good love story I had to throw in a twist to make you wonder... :D

    Hyo,

    This is correct.

    Except that it's more likely that when the battery starts to get low (in about four years) the SKS will gradually quit working (work sometimes and not others) but the "open" and "close" buttons on the fob will still work for a while. Actually, I think the car started beeping at me when I used SKS to lock it, when the battery got low.

    So when the fob starts to become erratic, you can put in a new battery.

    You can always lock and unlock the car door with the metal key, and you can always start and run the car by putting the fob in the slot on the dashboard, even if the battery is dead or missing.

    Just don't forget to shut the car off. Because the engine will stop, but the car will remain on if you don't shut it off.
