The middle button on a car key is for opening the trunk. A typical car key usually has three buttons: unlock, lock, and open trunk. Here's an extended introduction to their functions: 1. Unlock button: This button should be very familiar - pressing it once will open the car doors. There's a hidden feature: pressing the unlock button once only opens the driver's door; pressing it twice unlocks all four doors; holding the unlock button for several seconds will simultaneously open all four windows. On some models, the sunroof will also open. 2. Lock button: Pressing this will lock all four doors. It also has a hidden function - remote window closing. 3. Trunk release button: Holding this button (or pressing twice for some models) will automatically open the trunk. Some vehicles even feature a hands-free trunk opening system where making a kicking motion under the rear bumper (while the key is within range) will automatically open the trunk.

What are the symptoms of a failed turbocharger in large vehicles?

The symptoms of a failed turbocharger in large vehicles are as follows: Engine Power: Black smoke from the exhaust pipe, burning engine oil, and low oil level. If the sealing ring is damaged, exhaust gases can enter the engine lubrication system through the sealing ring, contaminating the oil and rapidly increasing the crankcase pressure. Additionally, during low-speed engine operation, oil may escape through the sealing ring into the exhaust pipe or enter the combustion chamber to burn, leading to excessive oil consumption and the occurrence of "oil burning." Poor Exhaust Heat Dissipation: Prolonged engine operation can result in poor exhaust heat dissipation. When the engine is running, a sharp, screeching noise may occur, preventing sufficient air from entering the combustion chamber, which leads to reduced power and insufficient engine performance.

What are the symptoms of a faulty engine high-voltage line?

Automobile high-voltage line damage symptoms include spark plugs releasing dim yellow and insufficient energy electric sparks, unable to properly ignite the air-fuel mixture, preventing the spark plug electrodes from releasing sparks, leading to unburned mixture and resulting in issues like cylinder misfire. Hazards of engine cylinder misfire: Engine cylinder misfire causes reduced engine power, increased fuel consumption, with very noticeable vibration and noise. Prolonged fuel injection without ignition in engine cylinders can also lead to gasoline flooding the cylinder. Manifestations of ignition coil failure: At idle, the vehicle body shakes noticeably; during driving, when the RPM is below 2500, the body exhibits obvious vibration with weak acceleration; when the RPM exceeds 2500, the shaking sensation disappears. Opening the engine hood and observing the running engine reveals obvious engine vibration.
