What does the hold button on the Hongqi key mean?

Hongqi key hold button means to hold. More introductions about car smart keys are as follows: 1. Functions: When the key approaches the car body, the doors automatically unlock and the anti-theft alarm status is released, while the turn signals flash twice; When the key leaves the car body, the doors automatically lock and enter the anti-theft alarm status, at this time the turn signals flash once and the horn sounds a short beep; The effective detection distance of the main door is not less than 1.5m, and other doors are required to be effective when near the door. 2. Internal design: The smart key can emit infrared signals, which can open one or two doors, the trunk and the fuel filler cap, and can also operate the car's windows and sunroof. More advanced smart keys are like a credit card. When the driver touches the door handle, the central lock control system starts to work and emits a wireless query signal. After the smart key card responds correctly, the car lock will automatically open. The engine will only start when the central processor senses that the key card is inside the car.
Using the HOLD button on my Hongqi key feels incredibly convenient. It's designed for remote engine start—just hold it for a few seconds before heading out in winter, and the car starts up, preheating the engine and automatically adjusting the AC temperature. By the time I get in, it's ready to go without any shivering from the cold. The same goes for summer, cooling down the interior in advance and saving a lot of time. I remember one heavy snow day when I used this button—the car was as warm as spring inside, avoiding the wear and tear of a cold engine start. The operation is simple: first, ensure the car is in park and the key is within range, then hold the HOLD button for 2-3 seconds. However, it won’t work if the signal is too weak, so I usually stay close. Many cars now have similar features, but Hongqi’s design feels particularly user-friendly, making life easier. Once you get used to it, you won’t want to go without it.
