How to Start the Car When the Accord Key Fob Battery Dies?

First, there is a square keyhole under the vehicle's door handle, which is used to open the door handle trim panel. Then press the button on the key fob to pull out the physical key inside. Next, insert the physical key into the keyhole under the door handle and pry upwards to remove the trim panel. After that, insert the key into the keyhole to unlock the door. Place the key fob in the central console key recognition area, then press the vehicle start button to start the car.
I also experienced a dead key fob battery while driving my Accord, and it really made me sweat with anxiety. Fortunately, I remembered the method in the manual. The first step is to locate the small mechanical key on the fob, which is usually hidden inside or on the side of the remote. Pull it out to manually unlock the car door. After getting into the car, don't rush to start the engine. You need to place the dead key fob close to the start button—I usually press it directly against the button for a while, then try pressing the start button. If it doesn't work the first time, try a couple more times or adjust the position of the key fob. As a general tip, I recommend checking the key fob battery regularly. If you notice the remote range getting shorter, it's time to replace the battery—this can save you a lot of trouble. It's also a good idea to keep a spare battery or an extra key in the car for emergencies. In short, don't panic over such minor issues—the Accord's design is quite user-friendly, and with a little patience, you can handle it smoothly.
