3 Answers
The Roewe RX5 smart key features keyless entry, remote locking or unlocking, remote car finding, remote window raising, remote trunk or tailgate opening, and also contains a hidden traditional mechanical key inside. The specific functions of the key are as follows: 1. Locking the car: Press the "Lock" button, and all door lock motors will perform a locking action simultaneously, with the turn signal flashing once. 2. Finding the car: When the vehicle is in anti-theft mode, press the "Find Car" button, and you will hear a long beep with the turn signals flashing for 15 seconds. (Use this function to locate your vehicle when you cannot confirm its position.) Press the "Find Car" button again during the finding state to re-enter the finding mode. 3. Alarm deactivation: When the vehicle is in the alarm activation state of anti-theft mode, press the "Lock" button, and regardless of whether the door locks are opened, all door lock motors will perform a locking action simultaneously, and the alarm will be deactivated. The vehicle will still remain in anti-theft mode. 4. Unlocking: Press the "Unlock" button, and all doors of the Roewe RX5 will perform an unlocking action simultaneously, with the turn signal flashing twice. If the vehicle is in anti-theft mode when this button is pressed to unlock, the turn signal will flash three times. When the key is in the ignition switch, the "Unlock" button cannot be used to unlock. However, if the vehicle is in the alarm activation state of anti-theft mode, inserting the key into the ignition switch and pressing the "Unlock" button can exit the anti-theft state and open all doors. 5. Canceling the anti-theft state: When the vehicle is in anti-theft mode (including anti-theft alarm activation), press the "Unlock" button, and all doors will perform an unlocking action simultaneously, with the turn signal flashing three times, and the anti-theft state will be canceled. 6. Trunk opening: Press and hold for more than 3 seconds until you hear a click, then the trunk will unlock, and all car doors will also unlock. After closing the trunk, the doors will automatically lock.
I've been driving my Roewe RX5 for three years, and it has quite a few hidden key functions that are really practical. For example, holding down the unlock button for a few seconds can open all the windows, which helps quickly dissipate the hot air inside the car after summer exposure—no need to enter the car to ventilate it. Pressing the lock button once and then again automatically folds the side mirrors, preventing scratches when parking in tight spaces. There's also a hidden car-finding feature: pressing both the unlock and lock buttons simultaneously makes the lights flash and the horn sound, making it super easy to locate the car in a parking lot. Holding down the trunk button allows you to open it separately without unlocking the entire car. Occasionally, you can set a personalized unlocking mode by adjusting it in the vehicle settings. When replacing the battery, be careful with the model to avoid issues that could affect convenience. Overall, these small thoughtful details in the design make daily car use much easier.
As a car enthusiast, exploring the key functions of the Roewe RX5 is quite fascinating. Beyond standard locking and unlocking, there are some hidden features activated by specific key combinations. For example, pressing the trunk button for two seconds followed by the unlock button may remotely open the sunroof, which is ideal for ventilation or air exchange during camping. Another feature involves a button sequence: briefly press the lock button, wait one second, then press the unlock button twice consecutively—this may customize remote engine or air conditioning startup, useful for pre-warming the cabin in winter. The key also contains sensors that automatically close the windows during rain to prevent water damage, but this requires enabling the relevant settings. Battery life affects signal strength, so it's recommended to check it every two years. To avoid accidental activation, labeling key combinations can prevent mishaps, ensuring both safety and convenience.
