Why can't the 2014 Surui detect the key?

Key battery is dead or has poor contact. Below are the relevant details: Solution: When pressing any button on the key, if no indicator light comes on, it means the key battery is dead. You can purchase the corresponding battery model at a supermarket and replace it. It's also possible that the key battery has poor contact. You can remove the key casing, rotate the coin cell battery, or take the battery out and reinstall it after a while. Additional information: If the above methods don't work, you can use the mechanical key to open the door, place the key near the start button, and wait until the button indicator turns green to start the vehicle.
My 2014 Suri also had the trouble of not detecting the key. I remember once at a highway service area, the key just wouldn't be recognized, which made me extremely anxious. Later, I found out it was because the key battery was depleted. After replacing it with a CR2032 coin battery, it worked immediately. Signal interference is also a common issue, such as when parking near a phone charger or high-voltage power lines. Try placing the key close to the push-start button; some cars can sense and start at close range. If that doesn't work, it might be a problem with the internal chip of the key or the car's sensing antenna, requiring professional repair. I keep a mechanical key for emergencies. Regularly check the battery life monthly to avoid being stranded on the roadside. The older the car, the more attention it needs for maintenance to prevent affecting daily use.
