How to Start a Sylphy Car When the Key Fob Battery is Dead?

Sylphy car key fob battery dead starting method: If the car is not equipped with a one-touch start intelligent control system, simply use the mechanical key to start it. If it is equipped with a one-touch start intelligent control system, the correct method is to first press the start button once to turn on the ACC light, then press the start button again. At this point, the one-touch start button will turn green, and the vehicle will perform a self-check. After the vehicle completes the self-check, step on the brake and press the one-touch start button once more to start the vehicle. The Sylphy is a compact car under Dongfeng Nissan, with dimensions of 4641 mm in length, 1815 mm in width, and 1450 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2712 mm. In terms of suspension, the Sylphy features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension.
As a Sylphy owner, I once had a close call when my key fob suddenly ran out of battery. Don't worry, let me teach you what to do. The Sylphy's smart key actually hides a spare mechanical key inside, usually accessible by pressing a button or sliding open the back of the fob. Use this to unlock the door first.
When starting the car with a dead key fob, don't just press the button - it won't respond. Instead, press the key casing against the start button area near the right side of the steering wheel, hold it close and press firmly. The car will start because the internal transponder chip still works.
After successfully starting, I recommend replacing the battery immediately. The typical battery model is CR2032 coin cell, available at most convenience stores.
Make it a habit to keep a spare key in your car's drawer or backpack, and replace the battery every 1-2 years to avoid roadside emergencies.
