I have a 2019 Traverse 1lt. Do you know where to put the key to start it manually?
I had the battery for the key fob die. Used this guide to get the car started and your other article to change the key fob battery. Thank you twice.
My Chevy key fob battery died and I didn’t know there was a small pocket on the central armrest for inserting the key. Took me two minutes to start my car. Thanks .
I have a Chevy Volt and unfortunatley the key fob battery is dead. I got enough warning signs but kept on procastinating chaning the key for battery. Until one day I was no longer able to start the car.
At first I panniced because I didn’t know where the manual start was. Or that it even had one.
Found this on Google and within two minutes I am back on the road headed home.
Thanks
