How to Start Your Car with a Low Key Battery by CMH Mazda Umhlanga

Having a key fob that won’t work because of a low battery can be frustrating, but there are ways to start your car without needing a replacement battery immediately. Here’s a quick guide to help you get back on the road by CMH Mazda Umhlanga.

1. Use the Backup Key

Many key fobs come with a physical key hidden inside. Check your fob for a small release button or latch to extract it. Use this key to unlock the door manually.

2. Key Fob Proximity

Some vehicles allow you to start the engine even with a low battery if you hold the key fob close to the start button or the ignition slot. Try placing the fob directly against the button or the designated area to see if it can communicate enough to start the engine.

3. Replace the Battery

You can contact CMH Mazda Umhlanga on 031 502 5565 for a quotation to replace your key battery.

4. Consult the Manual

If you’re unsure, check your vehicle’s owner’s manual for specific instructions related to your model.

CMH Mazda Umhlanga hopes that by using these tips, you can get your car started and avoid being stranded due to a low-key battery. Stay prepared and keep a spare battery handy for the future!
