What does the key-shaped icon on the car dashboard indicate?

The key-shaped icon on the car dashboard is the key status indicator (keyout indicator). When this indicator lights up, it means the smart key is not inside the vehicle or is outside the effective range. Here’s an explanation of the keyout indicator: 1. The car’s smart key is either not inside the vehicle or is too far away, exceeding the specified distance range. 2. The key’s battery is low, resulting in a weak signal that cannot be detected. 3. The smart key system or wireless module is damaged or malfunctioning. The car smart key is a common keyless entry system, also known as the smart key system. It consists of a transmitter, a remote central locking control module, a driving authorization system control module (three receivers), and related wiring harnesses that form the control system.
