If the key fob of your Changan CS55 is out of battery, you can start the engine by following these steps: First, press the brake pedal for automatic transmission or the clutch pedal for manual transmission. Place the smart key in the cup holder, ensuring it is firmly against the bottom. When the indicator light on the "ENGINE-START-STOP" switch turns green, press the "ENGINE-START-STOP" switch to start the engine normally. Additionally, to switch the power mode, place the smart key in the cup holder, press it firmly against the bottom, and then press the "ENGINE-START-STOP" switch. After that, cycle through the modes in the order of ACC, ON, and OFF. More details about the Changan CS55 are as follows: 1.

Last time I drove my Changan CS55 and the key fob ran out of battery, which was quite frustrating. Don't worry, there's a small metal piece on the key - that's the mechanical key. Take it out, align it with the lock cylinder on the driver's side door handle, insert it and give it a gentle turn to open the door. Once inside the car, even though the key has no power, there's an emergency induction area in the vehicle, usually located below the center console or near the cup holder. Just place the key directly on this spot and press it firmly so the car can detect the signal. Then press the start button and the engine will ignite. However, remember to replace the key battery promptly afterwards - just buy a button cell battery of the same model. It's easy to pry open the key casing and replace it yourself to prevent future issues. Also, regularly check the brightness of the key's indicator light - if it dims, replace the battery immediately to avoid embarrassment during long trips.
