Where is the keyhole for the Langdong one-button start?

The Langdong does not have a keyhole. The white button below the right side of the steering wheel is the one-button start button. Vehicles with one-button start are usually equipped with a keyless entry function. Keyless entry function: Generally, keys with keyless entry function will have the mechanical key folded or hidden inside. For conventional folding keys, you can directly open them to find the keyhole to unlock the door. If the key is hidden, the mechanical key is usually concealed within the main key and can be pulled out when needed to open the car door. Mechanical keyholes are divided into: Two types: hidden and exposed. A reminder: many car models now come with a factory-installed anti-theft system. If the vehicle is entered without unlocking via the sensing key, it may trigger an alarm. Therefore, using a mechanical key to enter the vehicle may be judged by the anti-theft system as an abnormal door opening, resulting in an alarm sound.
I usually drive the Elantra with the push-button start version. As for the keyhole, I was also confused for a few days when I first bought it. It's not near the steering wheel or dashboard but cleverly hidden in the driver's side door handle. There's a small square slot or cover on the inner side of the door handle—just push it gently to open, revealing the standard keyhole. This is mainly used for mechanically unlocking the door, such as in emergencies when the smart key runs out of battery or fails. Starting the engine still relies on the push-button start inside the car, usually located near the steering column or on the center console. I remember once when my key battery died, I used this hole to get into the car and then placed the manual key near the button to successfully start it. The design is quite thoughtful—it stays hidden without affecting the appearance, is easy to locate, but don't fiddle with it unnecessarily. Keep the cover intact to prevent dust.
