How to Get into the 2026 Chevy Trax When Your Key Fob Dies
The 2026 Chevy Trax is packed with advanced technology and convenience features — including a smart key fob designed to keep you in control. But what happens if your key fob battery dies or stops working? Don’t worry — Apple Chevrolet, your Tinley Park Chevy dealer, is here to help.
Step 1: Use the Mechanical Key
The 2026 Chevy Trax key fob includes a hidden mechanical key inside. To access it, look for the small release button on your key fob and pull out the key. Use this key to unlock the driver’s door manually.
Step 2: Start the Vehicle Without the Key Fob Battery
Once inside, you can still start your Trax even if the key fob battery is dead. Simply place the key fob near the push-button start (usually located on the steering column or center console). The vehicle’s sensor will detect the fob’s presence and allow you to start the engine.
Step 3: Replace or Recharge Your Key Fob Battery
After gaining access, it’s a good idea to replace the key fob battery promptly to avoid future inconvenience. The key fob uses a standard battery you can replace yourself, or you can bring it to Apple Chevrolet’s expert service team for quick battery replacement and troubleshooting.
