What are the hidden functions of the Changan Eado key?
3 Answers
Changan Eado key hidden functions include: one-touch window lowering, flash light car locating, and horn sound by long pressing the lock button. Taking the 2021 Changan Eado Blue Whale Premium as an example, its body structure is a 4-door 5-seater sedan with dimensions of 4730mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1505mm in height, a wheelbase of 2700mm, a fuel tank capacity of 53 liters, a trunk capacity of 500 liters, and a curb weight of 1340kg. The 2021 Changan Eado Blue Whale Premium features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine delivering a maximum horsepower of 160PS, a maximum power of 118kW, and a maximum torque of 260Nm, paired with a 7-speed transmission.
After buying the car, I discovered how incredibly smart the Changan Eado key fob actually is. Holding the unlock button for over three seconds automatically lowers all windows, allowing you to ventilate and cool the car before heading out in summer - super practical. If you realize the trunk isn't fully closed after locking, no need to restart the engine; just press the trunk button for three seconds to open it remotely. The most surprising feature is the vehicle locator function. When lost in a mall's underground parking lot, double-clicking the lock button makes the lights flash three times accompanied by horn sounds, making it effortless to follow the sound to your car. By the way, don't panic if the key fob battery dies - the mechanical key can unlock the door, and there's even a hidden induction area inside to start the engine. These features aren't detailed in the manual, so you really need to explore them yourself.
As a Changan Eado owner, I'd like to share some hidden key functions I frequently use. In locked state, pressing the lock button twice activates vehicle locate mode – the hazard lights flash and horn sounds make parking lot searches much easier. In summer, holding the unlock button for 5 seconds simultaneously lowers all four windows to release heat before driving. The keyless entry reliably detects within 5 meters, but many overlook the dedicated trunk button that opens it without key insertion. Remember to periodically check if the mechanical key hidden inside the remote gets stuck. Here's a cool new trick: with key in pocket, touching the door handle groove for 3 seconds locks the car faster than pressing the key fob.
