What to Do When the Push-to-Start System Has No Power?

[CollinLee]

Here are the solutions for a push-to-start system with no power: 1. Smart Key Slot - Vehicles equipped with push-to-start usually have a smart key slot. Some models place it inside the center console, while others position it under the cup holder mat. When the smart key battery dies, insert the key into this slot and wait a moment; the vehicle will detect the key and allow you to start the engine. 2. Mechanical Keyhole - Some push-to-start models have a traditional metal keyhole. Locate this keyhole (often hidden behind the push-button panel, requiring you to pry off the plastic cover), then insert the physical key from your remote fob and start the car normally. 3. Key Placement on Induction Area - When the smart key battery is dead, press the key against the push-button or other designated induction area briefly. The vehicle will recognize the key and permit starting. 4. Simply replace the key fob battery, just like changing batteries in a TV remote control.
