What to Do When the One-Button Start Key of Emgrand Runs Out of Battery?
3 Answers
If the one-button start key of Geely Emgrand runs out of battery, you can choose to replace the battery. There is a button on the side of the key; press it and pull out the mechanical key to remove it. First, take out the mechanical key, then open the OPEN and replace it with a new battery. Taking the 2021 manual comfort model of Geely Emgrand as an example, here are its specifications: 1. Suspension: The front suspension is MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is torsion beam non-independent suspension. 2. Power: It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 109ps, maximum power of 80kw, maximum torque of 142nm, matched with a 5-speed manual transmission.
Last time when I was driving the Emgrand, I also encountered a key battery failure, which was quite frustrating. If the one-button start key of an Emgrand runs out of power, you can first use the spare key to start the car. It's usually inserted into a dedicated slot on the steering column and can start the vehicle directly. Didn't bring the spare key? Don't worry, place the dead key near the start button or the induction area around the steering wheel, such as the central console area, and press the start button. The car can often detect the weak signal and start as usual. Afterwards, quickly replace the battery by prying open the key's back cover and replacing it with a CR2032 button cell, which can be bought for just a few dollars. Usually, pay attention to signs like the key's remote control distance shortening or the indicator light not working, as these indicate the battery is about to die. Replacing it in time can avoid trouble. It's also recommended to develop the habit of checking the car lights and keys before getting in the car to reduce unexpected situations.
I'm used to DIY car maintenance and have dealt with the Emgrand key battery issue several times. First, try the inductive start by placing the key against the start button, wait a few seconds, then press the button. If that doesn't work, simply replace the battery: use a small tool or coin to pry open the key case, remove the old CR2032 battery, insert the new one with the positive side facing outward (don't reverse it), then close the case and test the remote functions. DIY battery replacement is super easy—just watch online tutorials a few times, and it won't take more than five minutes. I recommend keeping spare batteries in the car for emergencies. Also, opt for branded batteries like Panasonic or Nanfu for better durability. Key lifespan is affected by environmental factors, so avoid storing it in hot places like the dashboard.
