In this video, you will learn how to start the Ford C-Max in an emergency; specifically, how to start the keyless car if the key battery is dead and cannot start the vehicle. If it is so dead that you cannot even open the doors, you need to extract the metal key from its slot.

Once done, remove the plastic cap from its position and insert the remote into the slot you will find. Now the car will be able to start, and you can drive away.

Replace the remote battery as soon as possible to avoid unpleasant issues.
