Does the One-Button Start Have a Keyhole?
2 Answers
One-button start does have a keyhole, which is located in the conventional position, below the left side of the instrument panel. Here are the relevant details: 1. When you approach the vehicle with the smart key, simply touch the inner side of the door handle, and the door will automatically unlock, allowing you to open the door and enter the car directly. After pressing the brake and touching the button, you can start the vehicle without the need for traditional cumbersome operations. 2. The car one-button start is a component of smart cars, serving as a button device that simplifies the ignition process and can also be used to turn off the engine. The one-button start system can be retrofitted either at the original key lock position or as an independent panel. The smart system functions of one-button start include automatic unlocking.
I used to be frequently asked this question. Essentially, cars with a one-button start don't have a dedicated keyhole for starting the engine. The one-button start system operates the engine ignition electronically, with the entire system sensing the presence of a wireless key or key card, so you don't need to insert any key to start the car. But what if the button malfunctions? There's usually a small keyhole on the door designed as a backup—for instance, if the car battery dies or the remote is out of power, you can use the physical key to open the door and then follow the steps near the button to attempt a start. However, this is only for emergency use; the actual starting still relies on the button. This design makes driving more convenient and modern, reducing the hassle of traditional key starts, but it also increases the risk of electronic failures. I recommend that car owners keep their key batteries fresh to avoid unexpected situations that could delay their trips.
