I am NW of Austin near Lake Victor (The spot in the road that has a dry playa lake which was named by an applicant for a railroad steam engine water spot in the 1800's). Also NE about 9 miles from Burnet.

My brother-in-law worked for the Austin American-Statesman for years before he retired and moved back here to be with his aging parents.

You need to put them on different key chains or put some kind of sticker on them to keep from mixing them up. I tried to get in mine the other day and start it without the fob with me. Thank god it can't pick up the signal from the hall closet or I would have got to where I was going and not have a way to start it up to come back but I think these vehicles have the ability to know if the fob is inside or outside the truck
They do. If I remember correctly the fabulous dial selector is locked in park until a fob is inside the cab....

Don't feel bad. Yesterday I looked all over for my glasses while I was wearing them. :LOL:

How / where is emergency key placed/used to manually START 2024 Mav Lariat FWD Hybrid, when battery is dead (Deep Sleep) and FOB portion is not working or is lost?
Is there a hidden emergency key slot somewhere?

 We all do things that are dumb in life. Some dumber than others.... Yesterday, when leaving for an appointment, I was unable to unlock Trucklet Destroyer of Worlds due to a dead battery. The forum posts regarding dead battery issues had now come to me. It was 5 degrees in Chicago. So I added that to a possible cause. In a panic of missing my appointment, I opened the key fob to access the emergency door lock key. The key barely fit into lock slot and wouldn't unlock the door. I was running out of time so I decided to call an Uber and barely made my appointment on time and then Ubered home after ($70). This morning, I spent considerable time researching my truck's owners manual and searching this forum to determine what is the problem with both the truck's battery and the access key. I anticipated calling the dealer for help and maybe a tow. ...Until it came to me ...and I'm embarrassed to admit this.... I had been using my wife's Volvo key. I then went out with the correct key and all is good with the world. Even dumber, in reviewing the manual, images of the Maverick fob were much larger than the key I had torn open. I kept going with the assumption that the 2024 Lariat fob was now flat and half the size (as is the Volvo fob). 🤪🤣🤪🤣🤪🤣

The is an outline of where to place the FOB in the bottom of the console UNDER THE FELT PAD. The fob has a RFID proximity chip. That's also where you place fobs when you are programming a THIRD fob.
