What to Do When the Battery of a Keyless Start Car Dies?
2 Answers
In the case of a keyless start vehicle with a dead battery, you can use an external charger to charge the battery and then start the car. Alternatively, you can use a jump start method to borrow power from another vehicle. If neither method works, you will have to call for roadside assistance. Additional Information: 1. Generally, when the battery is severely depleted and the vehicle cannot start normally, do not attempt to start the vehicle again, as this could cause further damage to the battery. For manual transmission vehicles, you can use the push-start method. First, turn the key to the ignition position, press the clutch, release the handbrake, and put the gear in 1st or 2nd. Keep the clutch pressed and start pushing the car. When the speed reaches about 5 km/h, slowly release the clutch and press the accelerator, and the car will start. 2. For the jump start method, first open the hoods of both cars. Connect the negative terminal of the jumper cable to the negative terminal of your car's battery and the other end to the negative terminal of the other car's battery. Similarly, connect the positive terminal of the jumper cable to the positive terminal of your car's battery and the other end to the positive terminal of the other car's battery. Then, have the other car start its engine and rev the engine slightly before attempting to start your car.
It's really frustrating when encountering a dead battery in a keyless start car! I had this situation before, so here's my experience to share: First, don't panic – try opening the car door. Many vehicles still allow you to unlock the driver's door with the mechanical key even when the battery is completely dead. Then immediately seek assistance: you can call your insurance company's free roadside rescue service or contact the 4S shop directly. For handy friends, you can jump-start the car using another vehicle's battery – remember to prepare jumper cables with red and black clamps, connecting the positive terminal first and then the negative. The most convenient method is using an emergency jump starter, which works like a large power bank by connecting directly to the battery. Important reminder: For automatic transmission vehicles, always ensure the gear is in P position before jump-starting. Also, develop good habits: turn off AC and headlights immediately after shutting down the engine, and always check if interior lights are off after locking the car – these are major power consumers.
