"Key not detected" on a push-to-start car? Try this first

A weak fob battery is the most common cause, and it's often a five-minute fix.

Hold the fob at the start buttonMany push-to-start cars can still read a fob with a weak battery when you hold it against the start button or in a marked spot. Your owner's manual shows where.
Change the fob batteryMost fobs use a coin battery, and the type is printed on it. Pharmacies and hardware stores usually carry them.
Still not detected? Call AlexThe fob may need reprogramming or replacing. Alex tests it at the car and gives you the price first.
