How to Use a Keyless Entry System in Cars?

"Car keyless system" is not a traditional key, but a smart key or smart card. The method to use a car keyless entry system is as follows: 1. Open the car door. Generally, vehicles equipped with a keyless entry system have a sensor button on the door handle, as well as a keyhole, in case the smart card is damaged or runs out of power, allowing the door to be opened in the traditional way. 2. When entering the car, the detection system inside the vehicle will immediately recognize the smart card. Release the electronic handbrake switch, press the brake pedal all the way down until it can't be pressed further, to prepare for starting the engine. 3. Simply press the start button (or turn the knob) inside the car lightly to start the vehicle normally.

I was also curious about how to use this feature before. Actually, it's quite simple. You just need to keep the car key in your pocket or bag without taking it out. When you approach the car door within about one meter, simply reach out and pull the door handle to unlock it. The system will detect the key and automatically open the door. After getting in the car, press the brake pedal and push the one-touch start button to start the engine. It's even more convenient when getting off the car—just touch the sensor area on the door handle with your finger to lock the car. Some models even automatically fold the side mirrors. However, please note that this feature won't work if the key battery is dead. It's recommended to replace the battery every three years for safety. Also, remember to dry your hands before touching the sensor area on rainy days—once, my hands were wet and I couldn't lock the car no matter what.

Our keyless entry car has been in use for nearly five years, and it has indeed brought a lot of convenience to the elderly and children. When you approach the car within three meters with the key in your pocket, the turn signals will flash twice to indicate successful detection. Gently pulling the small indentation on the door handle opens the door, eliminating the need to press a button like with traditional keys. After getting in, the dashboard displays a message confirming key recognition, and you can start the car by pressing the ignition button. When leaving, remember to touch the small bump or indentation on the door handle to lock the car; the hazard lights will flash to confirm it's locked. A special reminder: when placing shopping bags in the trunk, make sure the key isn't inside. I once left the key in the trunk and almost got locked out.

As a tech enthusiast, I'm particularly fond of the design concept behind keyless entry. The key functions as a smart ID card, equipped with an encrypted chip and a low-frequency receiver. The car's antenna continuously emits a 125kHz signal, which the key receives and responds to with encrypted data to complete two-way authentication. In daily use, it's completely contact-free—the system automatically activates when within a 0.7-1.5 meter range. Models with touch-sensitive strips are even more intriguing; simply sliding a finger over a specific area on the door handle can lock or unlock the vehicle. The coolest feature is the welcome function, which automatically illuminates the headlights and ambient lighting as you approach. Just remember not to place your phone and key together, as electromagnetic interference might cause the sensor to malfunction.
