It's quite common for my Mazda Axela key to run out of battery, and I've experienced it once myself. If the remote key battery is dead and can't start the car, don't panic. The first step is to use the mechanical key hidden inside the key fob to open the door—just find the small cover on the door handle and pry it open. Once inside the car, Mazda vehicles have a smart design: place the key directly on the start button and press it, or for some models, press the key against the induction area near the steering wheel for recognition. At this point, the system will sense the emergency signal and temporarily start the engine. If it still doesn’t work, check that the key isn’t placed in the wrong spot. If this happens, quickly replace the coin battery—it’s a good idea to keep a few CR2032 batteries in the car so you’re not delayed next time. Make it a habit to regularly check the key’s battery level, and don’t wait until late at night or before a long trip to find out it won’t start.
