Can a Mazda 3 start with a dead battery?
My question is actually on 2019 Mazda 3. They gave us a physical “spare key” inside the key fob, but I don’t see any keyhole on our doors. Sure, it is pretty cool that we can start the engine without a battery but placing it next to the start button. However, how the hell am I supposed to get in the car if the key fob battery is dead?
