How to Start a Haval Car When the Key Fob Battery Dies?
3 Answers
Pull out the mechanical key from inside the smart key fob and use it to unlock the car door. Place the side of the key with the LOGO imprint against the start button to ignite the vehicle. All cars have a keyhole; locate it, remove the protective cover hiding the mechanical key slot, and then unlock the door.
Many people have encountered the situation where their Haval key fob runs out of battery. Let me teach you the emergency start method. First, look at the back of the remote key fob—press the small button to pull out the mechanical key blade, and use it to unlock the driver's door. Then, sit in the car calmly, place the dead key fob against the push-to-start button, press the brake pedal, and then press the start button—the sensing system will recognize the key. After starting, immediately go to an auto repair shop to replace the battery, which is usually a CR2032 coin cell. It's a good idea to keep a couple of spare batteries in the glove box. Remember to keep the car key away from induction cookers or mobile phones when not in use for long periods to avoid premature battery drain. Changing the battery yourself is simple—just use a coin to pry open the key fob's back cover, but be careful not to reverse the positive and negative terminals.
My Haval also had a key battery issue before, but the manufacturer had already designed a backup solution. Take out the remote key and find the hidden mechanical key. There's a small cover on the driver's door handle—pry it open to insert the key and unlock the door. Once inside, here's the key point: press the key directly against the start button, keeping it close like swiping a card, while stepping on the brake and pressing the button. If it doesn’t start, try adjusting the angle or placing the key in the induction area at the bottom of the cup holder. After successfully starting, it’s best to replace the battery the same day—just buy a CR2032 battery from a supermarket or hardware store. As a reminder, shortened remote range or dim buttons are early warning signs of a low battery.
