What are the long-press functions of the 2021 ix35 remote key?
2 Answers
The 2021 Hyundai ix35 features a hidden phone slot under the center console that supports wireless charging and includes USB and 12V power outlets. Long-pressing the lock button remotely raises the windows, while long-pressing the unlock button remotely lowers them. There are three main reasons for car key failure: 1. Car key issues: The car key may run out of battery during daily use. Pay attention to the usage method while driving—lock and unlock the car at a closer distance, as the farther the remote distance, the greater the power consumption. Avoid repeatedly pressing the lock button when locking the car. 2. Car issues: The car battery may be low on power. 3. Environmental issues: Parking in areas with strong magnetic fields can interfere with the key's functionality. Additionally, intentional human interference, such as criminals using car remote jammers, can also cause issues.
I've been driving the 2021 ix35 for over half a year after switching, and the long-press function of the remote key is quite practical, primarily relying on holding down the button to trigger different operations. For example, when parking and wanting to quickly locate the car, holding down the lock button makes the headlights flash a few times and emits a honking sound; when moving or after grocery shopping, holding down the trunk button directly opens it without needing to take out the key; before getting in the car during summer, holding down the unlock button lowers all the windows to reduce temperature and avoid stuffiness. These designs consider daily convenience, operating through RF signal control—short presses might only lock the driver's door, but long presses ensure full vehicle security and quick response. Occasionally, if the buttons aren't responsive, it might be due to a nearly depleted battery; the CR2032 coin cell needs replacement every 1-2 years. Developing a habit of avoiding storing the key in humid environments can extend the button's lifespan. Minimizing fiddling while driving, these small features greatly enhance comfort.
