What does it mean when Mercedes prompts to place the key in the marked position?

[Shannon]

The key induction area for Mercedes is located on the car's center console. The induction receiver in Mercedes vehicles is highly sensitive, allowing the car to easily unlock the door without any operation when the key is within two meters, even if it's just in your pocket. Here’s some related information about the car key's HOLD button: Introduction: The HOLD button, when pressed for a few seconds, opens the trunk. This design prevents the accidental opening of the trunk during driving or other operational conditions, hence the name "HOLD." Other functions: The HOLD button is not just a trunk opener; it also serves as a remote engine start button. When pressed for 2 to 3 seconds within a certain distance, the car will start automatically. This feature is particularly useful in winter and summer for pre-adjusting the car's interior temperature.
