'Both laughing and crying' when the car's smart key runs out of battery, simple way to open the door

Today's car smart keys are equipped by manufacturers with smart keys combined with a start button to help users conveniently use them.

Most of these smart keys are integrated with many functions such as finding the car's location, locking/unlocking the doors, opening the luggage compartment... Some cars are even equipped with the function of starting the car through the control button on the smart key, to increase convenience.

To be able to operate these types of smart keys are usually equipped with batteries inside. Therefore, after a period of use, the battery attached to the key will gradually run out, causing the key to show signs of flickering, difficulty receiving signals, or running out of battery, unable to start the car as usual.

Many popular car models are also equipped with smart keys by manufacturers.

In fact, many drivers encounter this situation. However, depending on the structure of each car model, when the smart key runs out of battery, the driver can still open the door and start the car normally without the help of a repairman.

According to the experience shared on the car consulting page of an account owner named Hoang Xoăn, smart keys and car start buttons are quite convenient and easy to use, but one should also be careful and pay attention because this key can run out of battery at any time, making it impossible for the user to open the car door.

Also according to the above account, if one day the driver encounters a situation where the car's smart key runs out of battery, the first thing to think of is the mechanical key integrated into the smart key to open the car door. To open it, the driver just needs to press the small round button on the key to turn it on or remove the mechanical key. The mechanical door opening position is usually located at the seat door handle.

There are many ways to fix a dead car key battery.

In addition, the driver can also use the method of pressing the smart key near the start button for about 10 seconds and then using one end of the mechanical key to press the start button. This opening method is applied to vehicles using remote control.

As for vehicles using the first generation Smart key system - because these vehicles use a system with a knob in the ignition lock similar to the type using a mechanical key and do not have a Start/stop button. In the situation as mentioned above, you usually insert the key into the knob, press lightly and start the engine normally.

In case the car door still cannot be opened after using all the above methods, the driver has no choice but to go to a watch shop or grocery store to buy a new battery to replace it. In addition, the car company's service center or garage can be asked for help.

To be more careful during use, drivers should prepare 1-2 smart watch batteries in the car in case of bad situations when traveling far.

In addition, to avoid the situation of the smart key running out of battery, drivers should not ignore signs of low battery such as less sensitive pressing, pressing many times to control the vehicle. If you see this sign, you need to replace the battery immediately.
