run it over to your local dealer, they should change it out at no charge to you...and it is described in the manuel like AMDEUTSCH said

I had this happen to me on Sat. morning...I figured it was because I never stick it in the ignition, I always use the start button. From what I understand, you should use the ignition every once in awhile as it actually charges the key. I drove with it in the ignition for the rest of the day - On Sunday, started using just the start button again and don't have the issue. Might save you a trip to the stealer...

So, the key actually uses a rechargeable battery?

+1...the batteries are not rechargeable. They are standard CR2025 batteries.
