We decided it was time to put up a Rivian back-up entry and start page that for some reason we had never done. In the process we corrected a Rivian oversight — we had neglected to add a link to Rivian owner’s manuals on our manuals page.
That oversight has been corrected. We now have links to 47 manufacturers’ owner’s manuals.
Plus, while we’ve always known that Rivian‘s back-up processes are unique, we’ve discovered something new for 2025 that may be backward compatible.
We’ll share that on the upcoming pages. There are manuals for only the first two models. The R2 and R3 have yet to be released.
Back-up entry and start processes are made necessary when the batteries in the key fob dies and the fob no longer works.
