The emergency start location for the Hyundai Elantra is at the white button below the right side of the steering wheel. Below is some relevant information about the Elantra: 1. Body dimensions: The basic specifications of the Elantra are 4570×1775×1445 (mm), which are roughly the same as its two previous generations. Its wheelbase is 2700mm, making it one of the longest wheelbases in the compact car category. Compared to the current Verna, the Elantra's wheelbase is 50mm longer. 2. Interior: The Elantra's interior offers two color schemes to choose from: all-black or dark upper and light lower.

The dashboard has a dynamic design, the center console is stylish, the layout is clear, and the operation is convenient. 3.

I remember that running out of battery in the Hyundai Elantra key was a common issue. Its emergency start position is right next to the gear shift lever—there's a small slot where you can insert the tiny metal piece inside the key to start the ignition. Actually, it's not just the Elantra; many Hyundai models are designed this way, which is quite convenient but easy to forget the location. It's advisable to familiarize yourself with the interior before driving to avoid panic in emergencies. Additionally, regularly checking the key battery is crucial; typically, it should be replaced every two years to significantly reduce the risk of sudden failures. If the car doesn’t start, don’t panic—find a safe place to park before dealing with the issue, and avoid lingering too long on the roadside.

What is CVVT?

CVVT stands for Continuously Variable Valve Timing technology. Below is an introduction to CVVT: 1. CVVT is the abbreviation for Continuously Variable Valve Timing in English, which translates to continuous variable valve timing technology in Chinese. 2. The working principle of CVVT involves installing a CVVT assembly on the camshaft. When the engine shifts from low speed to high speed, the computer automatically applies oil pressure to a small turbine inside the camshaft drive gear. Under this pressure, the small turbine rotates a certain angle relative to the gear housing, causing the camshaft to rotate forward or backward within a 60-degree range. This changes the timing of the intake valve opening, achieving the goal of continuously adjusting valve timing. Therefore, under the influence of this structure, the engine can adjust the timing of valve opening and closing according to different road conditions. 3. The CVVT control device generally consists of components such as the oil control valve (OCV), CVVT drive assembly, crankshaft position sensor, camshaft position sensor, and engine control unit (ECU).
