What is the function of the hold button on the Hongqi H9 car key?

[Isaac]

The function of the hold button on the Hongqi H9 car key is to press and hold for a few seconds to open the trunk. Function of the hold button on the car key: The original meaning of 'hold' in English is 'to keep, to grasp, to control.' On the remote key, it uses the meaning of 'keep,' which is different from unlocking and locking the car. Opening the trunk is only necessary after the car is parked. Pressing and holding the hold button for a few seconds opens the trunk, avoiding the danger of opening the trunk while the car is moving, hence the term 'hold.' Another function of the hold button: In addition, there is another function. The hold button is not just for opening the trunk; it is also a remote engine start button. Within a certain distance, holding the button for 2 to 3 seconds will automatically start the car. This function is useful in winter and summer for adjusting the interior temperature in advance.

The HOLD button on the Hongqi H9 key fob is the remote engine start switch. Press and hold for three seconds to wake up the vehicle. I love using this feature in winter - just press it from my balcony before heading out, and by the time I get in the car, the engine has warmed up with heated steering wheel and seats. It's equally practical in summer to pre-cool the cabin - instant relief when entering the car in 38°C heat. Note that the car must be locked to activate this function, and the engine will automatically shut off if no door is opened within ten minutes. The raised button on the back of the key fob is ergonomically designed, with an effective remote range of about 50 meters. After developing this habit, my morning commute efficiency has significantly improved.

I've been driving the Hongqi H9 for two years, and the HOLD key is essentially the shortcut switch for remote start. The specific operation is to press and hold the HOLD button on the back of the key fob while the car is locked, and the dashboard will light up with an indicator. When the engine starts, it automatically adjusts the air conditioning based on the ambient temperature, blowing cold air in summer and warm air in winter. Once, in a large parking lot where I couldn't find my car, I pressed the HOLD key from a distance and located it by following the flashing daytime running lights. However, it's important to avoid using this feature in enclosed garages due to potential exhaust fume hazards. After starting, the doors remain locked, and you need to bring the key close to unlock and drive.

The HOLD button is essentially a Hongqi-exclusive feature that allows the owner to start the engine without inserting the key. Every time I use it, I first confirm that the gear is in P, then press and hold for about two seconds until the key vibrates as feedback, indicating a successful start. At this point, the air conditioning automatically turns to maximum airflow for rapid temperature adjustment. Tests show that at -15°C, pre-starting for eight minutes can raise the water temperature to 60°C. The downside is that frequent use increases battery load, so it's recommended not to start consecutively more than three times. In remote start mode, the headlights will flash twice as a prompt.

This button solves my biggest annoyance of freezing hands in winter. The operation is quite simple: when the car is locked, hold down the HOLD button until you hear the engine sound, which means it's activated. At this point, all four windows will automatically crack open for ventilation, and the side mirrors will fold to confirm the status. Once I forgot to lock the car and pressing it didn't respond, then I realized it must be locked to activate. In terms of fuel consumption, each activation increases by about 0.1 liters, but it's worth it for having warm air as soon as you get in. The car key's waterproof design ensures worry-free use in rainy weather.
