I recently encountered the issue of my CS75 key fob running out of battery, which was quite annoying but had a simple solution. There's a small mechanical key hidden inside the key fob—I pulled it out to unlock and enter the car. Once inside, don't randomly press the start button; instead, place the entire key fob near the designated sensing area—usually located below the steering wheel or around the cup holder—then press the button to start the engine. After that, head to a repair shop immediately to replace the battery to avoid any inconvenience from a completely drained battery. It's good practice to check the battery voltage every year or so and keep a spare key in the car for emergencies, ensuring peace of mind even when heading out at night. Most key malfunctions are due to low battery or dirt buildup; cleaning the contact points can provide a temporary fix. Just like people, cars need regular maintenance to stay reliable.
