Today we will explain how to start the engine of the 2020 Ford Escape car when the remote control has a low battery. On this type of car, there is a secret ignition compartment that allows the vehicle to activate when the remote control does not work.

To start the vehicle, we should remove the cover of the central console, located in front of the gear shift, and insert the key into the rectangular-shaped compartment. Press the vehicle's ignition button to start the engine.

As this is an emergency situation, as soon as possible, check that the remote control works by replacing the battery.
