What to Do When the Key Is Not Detected for One-Button Start?

[AlexisFitz]

The methods to address the issue when the key is not detected for one-button start are: 1. Smart Key Slot. Vehicles equipped with one-button start usually have a smart key slot. Some models place this slot inside the center console, while others position it under the mat of the cup holder. When the smart key battery is dead, inserting the key into this slot will allow the vehicle to detect the key after a short wait, enabling the vehicle to start. 2. Mechanical Keyhole. Some one-button start models also have a traditional metal keyhole. Locate this keyhole, insert the key blade from the remote key, and start the vehicle as you would with a conventional car. Typically, the mechanical keyhole is located behind the one-button start button, and you may need to pry off the plastic cover of the one-button start button to access it.
