Reddit thread: Help me with my car!! This happends everytime i try to start it. Car model Smart roadster 2003, 48K km on it. Source: r/MechanicAdvice (score 1, 7 comments) Topic: won't start, key system malfunction Models discussed: 451 Solution status: unclear

Problem: Car won't start every time. Key symbol appears on dashboard during starting attempts.

Solution: Remove key from ignition, lock and unlock car with physical key, reinsert key and try starting again. If that doesn't work, check the battery in the key fob. Jump start the car from another vehicle as initial diagnostic step.

Key facts: - Smart Roadster 2003 model with 48K km - Issue occurs every time user attempts to start the car - Key symbol displayed on dashboard during attempts - Responder with experience owning two Smart Roadsters indicates this is somewhat normal behavior for the model - Suggested fixes include key lock/unlock cycle and key fob battery replacement
