How to Start the Atenza When the Key Fob Battery Dies?

Atenza's method to start when the key fob battery dies: 1. Press the button on the side of the remote key to pop out the mechanical key, then use the mechanical key to open the car door; 2. After entering the car, place the remote key near the start button. The induction coil inside the key can connect to the vehicle's computer, allowing you to ignite and start the car. The Atenza's body dimensions are 4870mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1450mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2830mm. In terms of appearance, it adopts Mazda's new Kodo design language, featuring a U-shaped front face and LED headlights. The new model's headlight assembly includes LED daytime running lights.

The Mazda6 Atenza's key fob ran out of battery - I've encountered this situation several times while driving this car, no need to panic. First, take out the key fob and look for a small slot or button nearby, press it to extract the hidden mechanical key, then use it to unlock the door and get in the car. When starting the engine, don't toss the key aside - just hold it close to the start button below the steering wheel or the instrument panel area. Usually, bringing it near will allow the system to detect it, then simply press the start button to ignite the engine. If nothing happens after pressing, the key might not be in the right position - try placing it elsewhere, like on the center console or within a few centimeters of the button. I recommend keeping some CR2032 batteries in your car. Replace the key battery early when it's running low to avoid unexpected issues affecting your trip safety. Actually, the Mazda6 Atenza's design is quite smart with its built-in emergency start function - even with a dead battery, you can still start it using this induction method. Knowing more practical skills like this makes driving much more worry-free.

As a young person who frequently drives smart cars, a dead key fob battery isn't a big issue. Open the side of the key fob to retrieve the mechanical key for unlocking the door, then sit in the driver's seat. Instead of keeping the key in your bag, hold it directly against the start button for a few seconds until it's detected, then press to start. This is the emergency mode designed into keyless systems, relying on low-power signal reception, so positioning is crucial. I usually check the key fob's battery indicator regularly or monitor the vehicle status via the mobile app to prevent this situation. Replacing the battery is also easy—just buy a new CR2032 battery, open the key fob, swap it in, and you're done in less than a minute. Doing it yourself is both convenient and cost-effective.

I've been driving for twenty to thirty years, and running out of key battery is a common occurrence. With the Mazda Atenza, you can directly use the mechanical key to open the door and get in the car. Then, press the key tightly against the start button, and it will start successfully with one press. If it doesn't work, don't force it. It's safer to contact the 4S store for assistance. Don't waste too much time trying to fix it yourself—safety comes first.
