Where is the hidden keyhole of the Zotye T600?

The mechanical keyhole of the Zotye T600 is installed on the driver's side door. You can see the keyhole by prying open the rear cover of the left outer handle with the key. The Zotye T600 key is for a car with a one-button start. If the one-button start fails, you can use the mechanical key to open the door. Here is some related information: The Zotye T600 remote key mainly consists of two parts: the transmitter and the receiver: 1. Transmitter: Composed of a transmission switch, transmission antenna (keypad), integrated circuit, etc. It contains an identification code storage circuit and an amplitude modulation circuit, with a button-type lithium battery installed on the opposite side of the circuit. The transmission frequency is selected according to the radio standards of the country of use, and the transmission switch sends a signal each time the button is pressed. 2. Receiver: After the transmitter sends the identification code using shortwave modulation, it is received by the car's shortwave antenna and enters the shortwave high-frequency amplification processor of the receiver's electronic control unit through a distributor for demodulation. The demodulated identification code is then compared; if it is the correct code, it is input into the control circuit to activate the actuator.
I've been driving my Zotye T600 for almost three years now, and I remember the hidden keyhole is located on the driver's side door handle, covered by a small plastic cap that's almost invisible normally. Once when my key fob battery died, I used the tip of my spare key to pry it open, revealing the mechanical lock cylinder underneath, which was quite easy to operate. This design is mainly for anti-theft purposes and to maintain the car's sleek appearance. Through experience, I've learned that if the cap feels tight, you shouldn't force it too hard to avoid breaking the retaining clips. After emergency unlocking, remember to replace the battery or repair the remote immediately. During routine maintenance, it's good practice to check if the cap has become loose to prevent rainwater or dirt from clogging the mechanism. This feature proves extremely useful during midnight emergencies when car lights fail or the battery suddenly dies.
As someone who frequently deals with car issues, the hidden keyhole of the Zotye T600 is generally located at the bottom of the inner side of the left front door handle. Use a small tool, such as a flathead screwdriver or the handle of a key, to gently pry open the small cover, revealing the mechanical keyhole. This is primarily an anti-theft design to prevent unauthorized unlocking. If the remote fails, for example, due to a dead battery, this method can be used to enter the car. During maintenance, it's common to find the cover stuck due to dust accumulation, so it's recommended to clean it regularly with a soft cloth. The location is hidden but easy to find—avoid prying other parts like the trunk in a panic. Remember, safety first, and being familiar with the operation can save you a trip to the repair shop.
