How long does the battery in a keyless start key last?
1 Answers
The battery in a keyless start key typically lasts about a year. When you notice the key icon displayed on the dashboard during startup or the motor starts sluggishly, it's a reminder to replace the battery promptly. Steps to resolve a dead battery in a keyless start key: First, locate the mechanical key for the vehicle. The mechanical key is usually of no use in daily situations; its primary purpose is for emergencies. Every smart key contains a mechanical key, which is somewhat hidden but can be found upon close inspection. If you can't locate it, you can call the 4S store or the manufacturer's customer service for assistance. Second, find the keyhole on the car door. Like the mechanical key inside the smart key, the door's keyhole is also quite hidden, so careful observation is needed. Once found, you can use the mechanical key to unlock the door. Note that using the mechanical key to unlock might trigger the car's alarm system in some vehicles, which is normal. Third, locate the key's induction area in the vehicle. Generally, the smart key's induction area is near the push-to-start button. You can place the key close to the push-to-start position and attempt to start the vehicle. If successful, you've found the right spot. If not, try another location. Some vehicles have the smart key induction area near the center console. Since the location varies by vehicle model, you may need to try different spots until the car starts successfully.
