The new Volkswagen Lavida Plus comes with 2 remote control keys. How remote control keys work: The key emits a weak radio wave, which is received by the car's antenna. The electronic control unit then identifies the signal code, and the system's actuator performs the locking or unlocking action. Functions of remote control keys: The main function of remote control keys is to remotely lock and unlock car doors. Additionally, they can close windows after turning off the engine; the red horn-shaped button serves both as a vehicle locator and emergency signal; some models feature a driver's door-only opening function; holding down the trunk unlock button (or pressing it twice on some models) will automatically pop open the trunk.

I just bought a Volkswagen Lavida Plus, and new cars come with two keys from the factory: one is the main remote key, which has buttons to lock/unlock the doors and start the engine; the other is a spare key, which is a simple mechanical key. This design is very thoughtful—if I lose the main key, I can still use the spare one in an emergency. I often keep the spare key in a drawer at home, just in case I panic and drop the car key while out having fun. Nowadays, many cars come standard with this setup, mainly for security and anti-theft purposes—it's like a backup plan. If there's an issue with the keys, getting a new one from the dealership can cost several hundred yuan, so it's important to take good care of them. The keys are battery-powered, and the batteries will eventually run out. Replacing them isn't difficult, but it's best not to tamper with them yourself—let professionals handle it for reliability. In short, two keys for a new car are sufficient, so there's no need to worry too much about the quantity.

Hey, I picked up a Lavida Plus last year! The new car came with two keys: one remote key with buttons and one regular spare key. Using the remote key to unlock the car door is super convenient—no need to fumble with the keyhole. I keep the spare key in the garage just in case I lose the main one on a long trip. This setup is pretty standard; most car manufacturers arrange it this way as a thoughtful safeguard for owners. I recommend keeping your spare key in a safe place, just don’t mix it up with the kids' toys. If you lose it, getting a new key isn’t cheap—it can cost hundreds. Also, try not to press the little buttons on the key too often to save battery life. The car key also has an anti-loss tag feature, which can be set for reminders—pretty handy. Just sharing my personal experience here.

As someone with some knowledge about cars, I can say that the Volkswagen Lavida Plus comes standard with two keys. One is the primary remote key, equipped with electronic functions like unlocking doors or one-touch start; the other is a spare key, which is a mechanical version for emergencies. This practice is quite common, as manufacturers rely on it to provide safety redundancy. When I tried using the spare key, it was straightforward to operate, though not as efficient as the remote. For key maintenance, consider battery replacement every two years, and avoid tampering with the wiring to prevent malfunctions. In terms of storage, avoid placing them in high-temperature areas to prevent accelerated aging. Overall, the two-key design is well-thought-out, reflecting user-friendly considerations.

How to Steer When Making a U-Turn?

First, when approaching the U-turn location, drive on the right side, reduce speed and downshift, then turn on the indicator light. Once the U-turn maneuver will not affect other vehicles, turn decisively. Then, as the front of the car is about to cross the left edge of the road, immediately straighten the wheels, brake, and quickly turn the steering wheel two full turns to the right. Also, honk the horn and observe the traffic conditions behind the car and on both sides of the road. Once safety is confirmed, immediately shift into reverse and back up. Finally, when there is enough space to complete the U-turn, stop immediately, quickly shift into first gear, and turn the steering wheel to the maximum.

How Many Installments Can a Car Purchase Be Divided Into?

Most car installment purchases are for 3 years, with some extending to 5 years. Since cars are depreciating assets, the loan term is typically 3 years, with the maximum installment period being 36 months. Currently, most 4S dealerships offer 3-year installment plans. Approval is generally easier for terms within 3 years. Policies vary depending on the car model or the financing partners of the 4S dealership. To qualify for a car loan, applicants must meet the following conditions: Age: The buyer must be at least 18 years old and a Chinese citizen with full legal capacity. Financial Status: The buyer must have a stable job and a steady income or possess assets that can be easily liquidated to ensure timely loan repayment.

How to Cancel the Emergency Flasher Alarm with a Spare Key?

After opening the car door with the spare key, quickly insert the key and power on to cancel the emergency flasher alarm. For vehicles locked with a remote, using a mechanical key to open the door will be recognized by the system as an intrusion. Since the car was locked with the remote but opened with a mechanical key, the system will default to considering it a forced intrusion and trigger the alarm. However, if the owner locks and opens the car with the mechanical key, the alarm will not be activated. This is a security feature, and the alarm will be canceled after ignition. The remote key locks the door and simultaneously activates the alarm, so opening the door with a spare key will automatically trigger the alarm.
