How to Start an Emgrand When the Key Fob Battery Dies?

[Dias]

When the Emgrand key fob battery dies, you can use the emergency key slot to unlock the car. Remove the mechanical key from the top of the smart key, insert it into the emergency key slot, and turn to open the door. Here is more information about the Emgrand: 1. The Emgrand EC718 and EC718-RV are Geely's first B-segment sedans, available in both sedan and hatchback versions. 2. The new Emgrand is equipped with a 1.3T-GeTec-DVVT turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 98kW. The turbo engages at 1800 rpm, and the peak torque of 185N·m is achieved at 2000 rpm. Both the specific power and specific torque are higher than those of comparable 1.5T engines, with performance close to that of a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine.

Last month, while driving my Emgrand for an outing, the key suddenly ran out of battery, and I couldn’t open the car door. Panicked, I quickly recalled the manual: there’s a small button on the side of the remote that pops out the mechanical key blade when pressed. Using it, I pried open the door, climbed in, and after settling in, felt around the start button area on the center console to find a sensing slot with a key icon. I pressed the key firmly against it, stepped on the brake, and the engine started with a push of the button. The whole process took less than two minutes, but it still delayed the trip. Later, I bought a CR2032 battery online and replaced it for just a few bucks. I recommend carrying spare batteries, as such incidents are especially common in winter when batteries drain faster.

As a young car enthusiast who loves tinkering with vehicles, I often forget to replace the key battery. Don't panic when your Emgrand key runs out of power: first, retrieve the mechanical key from the back of the remote, use it to unlock and enter the car; once inside, locate the induction point near the steering wheel or start button area; press the button with the key touching the spot to start. If it doesn't work initially, it might be due to poor contact - just slightly adjust the key's position. The whole process is simple and takes about five minutes. Afterwards, remember to replace the battery promptly - they're available at supermarkets and auto parts stores. Don't let small issues cause big delays, developing a habit of regular checks can save you a lot of trouble.

It's really a headache when the car key runs out of battery while going out with kids. I had a similar experience with my Emgrand: the remote didn't work, but I remembered there was a spare mechanical key inside. I easily opened the car door. After getting in, I looked for the start-up induction point; the manual said it's usually near the dashboard. With the key properly placed, the car started successfully. I recommend keeping a battery replacement tutorial video at home for daily reference; safety first, don't force it and risk damage.
