Frequently asked questions
My car's push button start doesn't work in Hyderabad — what should I try first?
First: replace the key fob battery (CR2032 or CR2025 coin cell, available at any electronics shop for ₹50–₹100). Many push-button start failures in Hyderabad are simply a dead key battery — the car can't detect the key and won't start. If the new battery doesn't fix it: hold the key fob physically against the push-button start and try — some cars have a backup transponder reader at the button. If still no start, call Metre Per Second.
