Where is the BMW 1 Series car-finding function?

The BMW 1 Series car-finding function button is located on the car key. Press and hold the diamond-shaped button on the key to activate BMW's car-finding function. The usage methods of BMW key buttons are as follows: Closing windows after turning off the engine: Press and hold the lock button on the remote key to close the windows. Finding the car in a parking lot: Some car keys have a dedicated car-finding button, while for certain vehicles, pressing the lock button twice (or even more times) will trigger the car to emit a very loud horn sound and flash the hazard lights, indicating its location to the owner, making it easier to find the car quickly in crowded parking areas.
Last time at the mall parking lot, I got a bit confused and forgot where I parked my BMW 1 Series. So I took out the car key to find the vehicle locator button. Usually, there's a button with a horn or light icon on the key. Just press it lightly for a few seconds, and the car will start beeping or flashing its lights, making it easy to spot among other vehicles. The range isn't too far, effective within 50 meters. It's recommended to check the key battery status before pressing to avoid the embarrassment of a dead battery. This feature is quite handy, especially in crowded places, saving you from wandering around aimlessly. If your car is a newer model with the BMW App, you can also use the phone's GPS to locate it, but the key is the most straightforward method. Make it a habit to remember the general parking spot and use the button for added security.
