What does the 'hold' button on a car key mean?
1 Answers
The 'hold' button on a car key is used to long-press to open the trunk. For some cars, the 'hold' button also serves as a remote engine start button. By pressing and holding the 'hold' button for 2 to 3 seconds within the remote range, the car will automatically start. Remote start allows you to pre-adjust the interior temperature, warm up the car in winter, and ensure the engine reaches normal temperature before entering, avoiding issues like idling wait time or engine wear due to low temperatures. The remote control range typically extends to at least 50 meters, enabling you to start the car remotely from home or work. With an auto-timer feature, if the car door isn't unlocked within a set time, the engine will shut off automatically. Using the 'hold' button for remote start saves time and enhances driving comfort.
