To start a Mini without the key fob, you can use the physical key blade if your model has one. Insert the key blade into the driver's side door lock to unlock the car, then locate the ignition slot. Some models may allow you to push the start button while holding the key fob close to it, as it may still detect the fob’s signal. However, if the fob is completely dead, you might need to jump-start the vehicle or contact a dealership for assistance.
