The three horizontal buttons on the Kicks key are for opening the trunk. More information about the Kicks is as follows: 1. The Kicks is positioned as a compact SUV, with a design that appeals to young consumers. 2. The domestic version of the Kicks has the same styling as the overseas version, featuring the new V-Motion family front grille with bold V-shaped chrome accents paired with a matte black front grille, and a thick black honeycomb matte mesh that creates a strong sporty vibe. 3. The Kicks has a minimum ground clearance of 188mm, with approach and departure angles of 20 degrees and 28 degrees respectively, ensuring good off-road capability.
Friends who have driven the old Qashqai should be very familiar with these three horizontal bar buttons, located right in the center on the back of the key, with an icon resembling a WiFi signal. A quick press of this button will immediately activate the hazard lights and sound the horn twice, making it super convenient to find your car in a parking lot at night. Hold it down for three seconds, and it gets even better—the car will continuously honk and flash its lights for half a minute. Combined with the remote car-finding feature on the mobile app, you'll never get lost in a basement parking again. By the way, some owners mistakenly think it's a remote start button, but for the newer models, remote start requires pressing the lock button first, then holding down the circular arrow button. The feedback light on the key flashes green to indicate a successful car-finding operation; if it doesn't flash, it's time to check the key's battery.
These three horizontal lines are the dedicated car-finder button on Nissan keys, located on the side of the folding key. Once in an underground mall parking lot, I parked in B2 zone E17 and couldn't find my car after circling twice. Pressing the three-line button made the lights flash wildly and the horn honk, helping me locate it from 30 meters away. Note that right after turning off the engine, the car is still in anti-theft alert mode—pressing this button will trigger the alarm, which might disturb people late at night. It's safer to use it five minutes after exiting the car, which also tests if the anti-theft system works. If there's no response, the key fob battery (CR2032 coin cell) is likely dead and needs replacement.
