How to Start a Crown Car When the Key Fob Battery is Dead?
2 Answers
Enter the left front door of the car, which is the position of the driver's cabin equipped with the steering wheel and vehicle control devices. There is usually a key slot located below the left side of the steering wheel, though its position may vary slightly depending on the model, it is generally near the steering wheel. Insert the Crown car key into the key slot. If it doesn't fit, do not force it. If normal operation is not possible, promptly contact a professional for inspection and repair. After inserting the key, press the brake pedal, press the start button to ignite, and wait for the dashboard to light up, indicating that the startup process is complete.
Having driven a Toyota Crown for many years, I've often encountered the issue of the key fob running out of battery. When this happens, don't panic. There's a small latch on the back of the key fob—open it to pull out the physical key blade, which you can use to unlock the door and get in the car. Once seated in the driver's seat, locate the start button, press the entire key fob firmly against it or place it in the induction area at the lower right of the steering wheel, and hold for three seconds to start the car. To prevent this issue, it's recommended to replace the CR2032 coin battery every two years—it's a quick five-minute DIY job, and you can find tutorials online. It's also a good habit to keep a spare key in the car, ensuring you're not delayed in emergencies. After all, car light failures are another common hassle worth noting.
