Modern key fobs have a very limited operating range, and should be within just a few feet of the vehicle to operate. If you're far from your vehicle and you press the key fob button the car won't respond, and will display an "Key Fob Not Detected" message in the instrument cluster. If this occurs then replace the battery for your coin-cell (Part Number CR2032) by a brand new one of a trusted brand such as Panasonic Duracell or Energizer. They are usually available at your local hardware store or on the internet. You can test the coin-cell battery by pressing the buttons while standing close to your Fiat 500. The parking lights should flash and the key fob will operate the lock and unlock switches. If your key fob does not work after replacing the battery, it could be water damage that has prevented it from communicating with the module inside your vehicle. Water damage can occur in many ways, including an easy splash or submerging your key fob in saltwater at the beach. If you suspect that your fob was exposed to water, put it in a dry rice bag to pull the moisture out. If this doesn't work, your fob will probably require reprogramming by an experienced auto locksmith or by the dealer. Water Damage While the fob comes with rubber seals that keep water out of the electronic chip inside, submerging it in the ocean or washing it in a machine could cause water damage. Saltwater can cause the circuit board to become shorted and eventually die. The fob getting wet is not a good idea however, if you drop it in the water in a cup or don't remember to remove it from your pants pocket before running the washer, don't give up hope. First take the battery off the fob. Clean the electronic chip with isopropyl or a similar product and then dry it completely before replacing the battery. Next, test the fob to see if it works. If the key isn't working, it may have to be reset. This is usually handled by an auto locksmith or dealer.

The remote usually has 30 feet of range or less, and if it's too far from your car, it will not respond to your commands. It can be solved by moving it closer to your vehicle until it starts responding. If you've replaced the battery in your coin (commonly known as a "button" or "watch") and the fob isn't working, it could have an internal circuit board issue. Reprogramming the fob usually resolves the issue. You can find the instructions on how to do this for all vehicles by searching YouTube or looking through the owner's manual.
