Where is the key ignition hole of the Roewe RX5?

The Roewe RX5 model does not have a key ignition hole. The Roewe RX5 features a one-button start system, so there's no need to insert the key into an ignition hole to start the vehicle. The keyhole for the door is designed in a hidden manner. By removing the decorative cover on the door handle, you can reveal the keyhole. In terms of body dimensions, the Roewe RX5 measures 4556mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1719mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. The Roewe RX5 adopts the 'Rhythm Design' language, equipped with matrix LED headlights composed of 24 LED light sources. The body lines are stylish and dynamic, featuring a dual waistline design on the sides. The roof is equipped with a luggage rack, and the overall body lines are full of rhythm and tension.

The Roewe RX5 is equipped with a smart key system, eliminating the traditional key ignition slot. You don't need to insert a key to start the engine. The start button is usually located on the panel below the right side of the steering wheel or near the center console, often next to the air conditioning controls. Simply press the button to start the engine, making the operation straightforward and convenient. The smart key reduces physical wear and extends its service life. If your key runs out of battery, don't panic—check if the key itself has a hidden mechanical key or an emergency induction zone. During regular use, remember to keep the key battery sufficiently charged to avoid startup failures that could affect driving safety. I often recommend that car owners consult the user manual or ask the 4S dealership to confirm the exact location of the button, which helps them get accustomed to using the new car more quickly.

I remember when driving the Roewe RX5, the start button was a small circular button located just below the right side of the steering wheel, which was quite noticeable. Daily driving was very convenient—no need to find the keyhole, just keep the key in your pocket to operate. If the button doesn't respond when starting, it might be due to a weak key battery or vehicle signal interference. In such cases, try moving closer to the vehicle's sensor. Expanding on the advantages of smart start systems, they offer good anti-theft features and a stylish design, avoiding some of the potential issues found in older car models. If you can't recall the exact location, check the design near the inner panel of the car—it's usually a black plastic component with the brand logo. In short, with no keyhole and just a button, once you get used to it, it feels very natural and reduces fumbling around.

The start button is located on the center console, slightly tilted towards the driver's seat. A single press will start the engine. Safety precautions: Before starting, ensure the gear is in the P position to prevent rolling. If the button fails, it might be due to a dead key fob battery or interference sources. Avoid dismantling it yourself—try using a spare key or recharging first. Be careful not to accidentally press other control buttons. Additional safety tip: While smart systems reduce risks, regular checks are recommended to prevent unexpected starting issues.
