Bestune T99 comes with two keys. Introduction to Bestune T99: The Bestune T99 features an open-style design for its headlights and front grille, combined with waistlines and a full-width taillight, creating a majestic presence. With a wheelbase of 2870mm, the Bestune T99 is powered by a robust 2.0TD engine, achieving an actual thermal efficiency of up to 39% while meeting the China VI-B emission standards. The vehicle accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.6 seconds, with a combined fuel consumption of 7.9L/100km. Equipped with an 8AT automatic transmission and the Bestune D-life5.0 system, it achieves L2+ level intelligent driving. Bestune T99 fuel consumption: 7.9L.

As a Bestune T99 owner, the 4S dealership provided me with two smart keys when purchasing the car. One is for daily driving use, while the other serves as a spare key kept for emergencies. Last business trip I accidentally left my key at a restaurant in another city - thankfully the spare key saved me by allowing me to drive to the airport. The salesperson explained both keys have identical functions, enabling keyless entry and push-button start. They advised new owners to store the spare key in a fixed location at home, warning against casually tossing it in a drawer corner where it might get lost when urgently needed. If a key gets lost, it requires reprogramming - getting a new key matched at a professional repair shop costs around 300-400 RMB. Additionally, the smart key battery typically lasts about two years, so remember to replace it proactively rather than waiting until it dies unexpectedly.

I find it particularly thoughtful that the BENTENG T99 comes standard with two keys. These are chip-equipped smart keys, and the factory provides two primarily considering usage scenarios: for instance, the husband can take one to work, while the wife uses the other for shopping, allowing each to use the car without waiting for the other's key. Once, my wife took a key for a beauty appointment, and I was able to use the spare key to drive out and pick someone up at the mall. It's important to note that the two keys should never be stored in the same place; if one is lost, the other might be lost too. I specifically bought a lockable box to store the spare key, as getting a new key not only costs money but also requires matching it with the car's computer. Occasionally, it's necessary to take out the spare key to keep it powered; leaving it unused for too long can cause battery leakage.

I remember the salesperson mentioned when picking up the car that the Bestune T99 comes standard with two smart keys. They can be a lifesaver in emergencies. For instance, once my key fell into a hot pot at a restaurant and got ruined (don’t laugh), but I just went home to get the spare key and solved the problem in half an hour. I recommend keeping them well-organized: hang the daily-use key on your regular keychain, and store the spare key separately. Getting a new key from the 4S store costs over 500 RMB, and it takes half a day for anti-theft matching, which is much more troublesome than using a spare key.
