2 Answers
The method to start the GAC GS4 when the remote key is out of battery is as follows: 1. Take out the mechanical key from the remote key, open the driver's door, and enter the car; 2. Below the steering wheel of the vehicle, find a pattern marked with a key symbol; 3. Press the remote key close to the induction area of this mark; 4. Sit in the driver's seat and step on the brake pedal with your foot; 5. While holding down the brake pedal, press the one-button start button to start the vehicle. More relevant information is as follows: Taking the 2021 GAC GS4 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4545mm, width 1856mm, height 1668mm, wheelbase 2680mm, minimum ground clearance 190mm, and body weight 1480kg.
When my Trumpchi GS4 key fob ran out of battery, I encountered this situation several times, and the solution is quite simple. First, take out the hidden physical key on the back of the fob and use it to open the car door. Once inside, here's the key point: place the smart key firmly against the start button or near the cup holder on the center console where the induction area is located, then press and hold the start button for a few seconds—the car should start. I've tried this method several times, and it works reliably. The crucial part is ensuring the key is in the right position and not too far away. For prevention, I recommend replacing the key battery every two years; the battery model is CR2032, which can be easily purchased at supermarkets. Additionally, avoid keeping the key fob near your phone in daily use, as magnetic interference can drain the battery faster. If the car doesn't start, don't panic—check if the key is close enough to the induction point. If all else fails, call for roadside assistance.
