How to Start the Baojun 510 Vehicle When the Remote Key Battery is Dead?
3 Answers
If the remote key of the Baojun 510 runs out of battery, you can use the mechanical door lock to open the door. The main driver's door of the car is equipped with a mechanical keyhole. The mechanical door lock of the Baojun 510 is hidden under the decorative cover of the left front door handle. Insert the key into the hole under the decorative cover, press the key into the hole while pushing the decorative cover backward to separate it, then insert the mechanical key to unlock the door. After unlocking, reattach the decorative cover. The Baojun 510 is a compact SUV launched by SAIC-GM-Wuling. The dimensions of this vehicle are 4220mm in length, 1740mm in width, and 1615mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2550mm. The minimum ground clearance is 185mm when unloaded and 169mm when fully loaded.
That day when I was driving out, the remote key suddenly stopped working, and I thought, 'This is a big trouble.' However, as an experienced driver for many years, I knew that the Baojun 510 key usually has a hidden mechanical key blade—just look for a small button on the key fob, press it, and you can pull it out. Use it to directly insert into the door lock and open the car. Once inside, if the keyless start doesn’t respond, don’t panic. Sit in the driver’s seat, bring the key close to the central armrest area or the start button, try touching it and hold for a few seconds for sensing. Then, press the start button while holding the brake, and the car should start. If it still doesn’t work, check if the key is completely out of battery and quickly go to an auto parts store to buy a new battery to replace it. To avoid such awkward situations, make it a habit to check the key’s battery level every month. After starting the car, it’s best to drive to a professional shop as soon as possible to replace the battery. Drive carefully on the way, safety first.
My Baojun 510's remote key ran out of battery recently, and I was really panicked at the time since I'm a new driver. Later, a friend taught me step by step how to handle it: First, find the mechanical key from the key fob - it's hidden behind a small latch on the side of the key, just press and pull it out to unlock the door. After getting into the driver's seat, try pressing the start button. If there's no response, don't panic. Place the remote key near the steering wheel or around the center screen area (that's supposedly the induction zone), and the signal might reconnect within seconds. In my case, I had to press the key right against the button before it worked. Once successful, go replace the battery immediately to avoid future issues. Don't delay this process - it could be dangerous if you're stranded on the highway. Practicing these emergency procedures in advance is very practical.
