How to Start the Car When the GS4 Key Fob Battery Dies?

Trumpchi GS4 is equipped with a one-button start system. Simply place the key fob in the designated induction key position below the steering wheel to start the engine. More details about the Trumpchi GS4 are as follows: 1. The Trumpchi GS4 is a compact SUV under the Trumpchi brand. The new Trumpchi GS4 is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine across all models, delivering 169 horsepower and a maximum torque of 265 Nm. The engine reaches its peak power at 5,000 rpm and its maximum torque between 1,700 and 4,000 rpm. 2. This engine features DCVVT technology and direct fuel injection, with an aluminum cylinder head and cast iron cylinder block. It is paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission.

I've encountered a similar situation before. When your GS4 key fob runs out of battery, don't panic. There's usually a small mechanical metal key hidden inside the fob - just press the side button to release it, then use it to manually open the car door. After entering the vehicle, the push-to-start button might not respond. In this case, firmly press the front side of your key fob against the start button (it's best to simultaneously press the brake pedal), then press the button to start the engine. I solved this exact problem in a supermarket parking lot using this method, and it worked perfectly. Afterwards, immediately go to a hardware store or the 4S dealership to replace the battery with a new CR2032. As preventive maintenance, I recommend checking the key fob's indicator light every six months - if it dims, replace the battery in advance to avoid trouble. If your battery dies while driving, pull over safely, turn on your hazard lights before attempting this procedure. When I shared this trick with friends, they were all very grateful.

As someone who drives frequently, I'm particularly concerned about safety when it comes to key battery issues. The GS4's design takes emergencies into account, with a backup mechanical part in the key for door access. If the car won't start after entering, simply press the ignition button while holding the key close to designated areas like the steering wheel. I recall the manual mentioning that when the battery is critically low and signal weak, the vehicle requires close proximity sensing for operation. If this situation occurs, park in a safe spot without obstructing traffic - replacing the battery will make startup much smoother afterwards. For prevention, always carry a spare key and proactively replace the battery periodically (just ¥10) rather than waiting until complete failure causes trouble.

Let me explain the car principle simply. When the GS4 key battery is depleted, the starting mechanism still works. The key chip can be read by the vehicle's sensor at close range, emitting a weak signal even without power. I've tried pressing the key tightly against the ignition button while pressing it, and the car started. After this operation, immediately buy a new CR2032 battery to replace the old one. The method is simple, and paying attention to the key light changes can help avoid similar issues.

Here's a step-by-step guide on what to do: First, locate the small slot or button on the GS4 key to pop out the metal key for opening the door. Second, sit in the driver's seat and press the brake pedal. Third, press the start button with the logo or front side of the remote key touching it, wait a few seconds, and the car should start. Fourth, if it doesn't work, try changing the position, such as near the center console. After completing these steps, replace the battery promptly to avoid future malfunctions. Remember, the steps are simple—don't panic. It's advisable to replace the battery annually with a small cost to prevent issues.

I've dealt with key battery issues multiple times, and the GS4's emergency method is quite convenient. Use the spare key to open the door, and when starting the car, place the dead key close to the button and press to ignite. From my experience, I recommend: the battery typically lasts about a year, buy a high-quality CR2032 and replace it yourself without delay. If early warning signs of malfunction appear, address them promptly. If you encounter issues on the road, pull over safely for operation. Afterwards, conduct a thorough check to ensure the system is functioning properly. Regular maintenance reduces long-term hassles.
