Model: Ford C Max MK 2 - Years 2010-2019
Part: Key

In this video, see how to proceed if your C-Max does not recognise the key: if when starting the vehicle it indicates that no key is detected, the way to start the car is to place the key in the steering column, in the slot shown in the video, where it can read the chip even if the key is flat or has some connection issue. At the same time, press the start button and the vehicle will start anyway, as that is the emergency slot designed for this situation. Therefore, there are no key recognition problems, as you will always have the option to start.
