How do I start my vehicle if the key battery is flat?

If the passive vehicle key is inoperative because of a flat key battery or a fault, the vehicle can be started as follows:

  1. Place your key in the position indicated in your Owner's Manual. This is usually in the centre console or by the steering column.
  2. On vehicles with an automatic transmission, make sure that the transmission is in P (Park) or N (Neutral) and the brake pedal is fully depressed.
  3. On vehicles with a manual transmission, make sure that the clutch pedal is fully depressed.
  4. Press the start button until the engine starts.
