If it doesn't then the battery in your key fob might be dead and in need of replacement. Alternately, RF interference from nearby buildings may disrupt your system. Some key fobs also have an actual key that can be used to open your car (often for the driver's side door, but occasionally the boot too). They can typically be opened by opening an opening on the fob, or a button on the case. The physical key can then be pulled out of the slot in the case.
