    keyles entry when fob battery is empty? how to start car?

    like topic title

    what to do when the battery of the remote is empty.
    you can pull out the key from the fob and open the doors but how to start the car?
    can you place the fob inside a hole? or put the key and turn it the old fasion way?

    there's a hole on the lower front console (behind the twin cup holder) where you can put your key inside, there's a clip to hook the end of the key in. You can start the car after you plugged it in.

    mmm how does that keyless entry work?

    i can walk up to the car and touch the door handle and it wil unlock or do i still need to press the remote but have keyless start? ( not a lot of keyles entry then so i geuss i am wrong here )

    and if its really keyless door opening how do you close it? touching the door handle at a spot location or when you need to close it you nreed to press the remote?

    The Mirage keyless entry I've seen: you press the round "lock" button beside the door handle to unlock the car.

    Maybe there are differences in various countries though.

    yes i just found a youtube video showing it

    there is a round button where you normally would put the key in beside the door handle
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJdBc-ECRzc

    so my new question where do i put the normal key to open the door when the battery is dead???

    The left door (driver's door) and the trunk has the button but the right door (passenger side) it has a key entrance (normal key hole). They thought all about it when designing the car. It's not some chinese brand we talking about here, it's Mitsubishi guys!

    yes i already expected that.
    so you always have to walk around the car to open the door on the other side then walk back to open te drivers door.
    it would be better if they just added a button beside the door handle instead of inplace of the keyhole.

    did they also think about disabling the keyles entry? i know cars with keyless entry where you press a button ( inside the car ofcourse ) and you disable keyless entry.
    you can stil use the remote to open en close the doors
