3 Answers
The Hongqi H5 key features a wireless remote control system. A short press locks the doors, while a long press closes all windows and the sunroof. A long press on the unlock button also opens the trunk lid. When placing items in the trunk, pressing this button automatically pops open the trunk lid, making the process effortless and simple. Below is a detailed introduction to the Hongqi H5 key functions: 1. Simply carry the Hongqi H5 smart key with you, such as in your pocket, to manually lock or unlock the car doors. When the driver has the smart key, stepping on the brake pedal and pressing the start button will start the vehicle. 2. The Hongqi H5 key has 3 buttons, each with its own dedicated function. (1) A short press locks the doors, while a long press closes all windows and the sunroof. If you're unsure whether you've closed the windows, there's no need to return to the vehicle to check—this feature is both convenient and time-saving. (2) A short press unlocks the doors, while a long press opens all windows. Imagine using this feature on a hot summer day before getting into the car—the intense heat inside will quickly dissipate. (3) A long press unlocks and opens the trunk lid. After shopping, when placing items in the trunk, there's no need to physically interact with the vehicle—just press the button, and the trunk lid will automatically pop open, making it easy and hassle-free.
When driving my Hongqi H5, I mainly rely on that smart key to start the car, and the operation is quite smooth. Normally, I carry the key with me, and as I approach the car, the locks automatically sense and unlock. After sitting in the driver's seat, I first ensure the key is inside the car or in my pocket, then keep my right foot pressed on the brake pedal, and finally press the circular start button near the dashboard with my finger to start the car. If you're not familiar with the button's location, it's usually on the right side of the steering wheel, marked with a power icon. I've also tried remote starting in winter: holding down the lock button on the key for a few seconds preheats the engine, saving time and effort. Remember, when the key battery is running low, it will flash a warning light—just replace it with a new coin battery, which costs around a few dozen yuan. It's also good practice to check the key's condition during regular maintenance to avoid the awkwardness of sudden battery failure.
The intelligent key system of my Hongqi H5 is pretty cool. It operates via a sensing chip, eliminating the need to insert into the lock cylinder. After getting in the car, I usually locate the start button first, which is positioned on the right side of the center console. I lightly press the brake to ensure safety, then directly press the button to ignite and start the engine—simple as that. If the engine doesn't start, check if the key is placed too low or wrapped in metal objects that might interfere with the signal, or if the key battery is dead and needs replacing. In principle, the key identifies the car's signal to activate the circuit, making the entire process straightforward and efficient, perfect for daily commutes. Occasionally, if I forget the key, the mobile app can serve as a backup to start the car, but carrying a spare key is always a safer bet.
