Where is the key ignition hole for the X-Trail?

The X-Trail does not have a key ignition hole. The functions of the key are: 1. Automatically close the windows after turning off the engine; 2. Easily locate the car in a parking lot; 3. Automatically open the trunk; 4. Remote window opening. Taking the 2021 X-Trail as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of length 4675mm, width 1820mm, height 1722mm, and a wheelbase of 2706mm. The 2021 X-Trail features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 151PS, maximum power of 111kW, and maximum torque of 194Nm, paired with a 7-speed continuously variable transmission.
I drive a X-Trail, and it always amuses me to see friends searching for the keyhole in the car. Have you noticed that cluster of buttons to the right of the steering wheel? Actually, the ignition slot is hidden on the center console. Look closely for a small square cover—just pry it open gently to reveal the slot inside. This is the standard design for keyless start vehicles. Normally, you can keep the key in your pocket, press the brake, and hit the ignition button to start. The backup slot is only used when the remote battery dies—insert the tip of the key into the slot and turn it counterclockwise, like starting a motorcycle, to ignite the engine. I recommend keeping spare key batteries in the armrest console so you won’t panic if the car key ever fails.
