Where is the keyhole located on the Baojun 510?

The Baojun 510 features a concealed keyhole design on the door. By removing the decorative cover on the door handle, the keyhole becomes visible. The Baojun 510 is equipped with a 1.5L inline 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine across all models, available in two power variants: 1. High-power models, paired with a 6-speed manual or 5-speed mechanical automatic transmission, deliver a maximum power of 82KW and a maximum torque of 147N·m. 2. Low-power models, paired with a 6-speed manual, 5-speed mechanical automatic, or CVT transmission, offer a maximum power of 77KW and a maximum torque of 135N·m. Additional information: 1. To start the car, the driver simply needs to press the start button, and the engine will activate. Upon pressing the button, the PKE system first checks if the 'key' device is inside the car and only starts the engine after completing the authentication process. 2. When exiting the vehicle, the driver can lock the doors by pressing the door handle. Before the car is fully locked, the system verifies the driver's position and undergoes the same authentication process.
The keyhole of the Baojun 510 is usually located below the right side of the steering wheel, right next to the steering column. When you sit in the driver's seat and lean forward, you can see the small slot. As someone who often tinkers with cars, I've found that this position is designed to make the hand movement natural when starting the engine. Simply insert the car key, turn it gently clockwise, and you'll hear a click to start. Make sure the key is inserted in the correct direction and avoid applying too much force, as this can damage the lock cylinder. If there's no keyhole for starting, it might be a higher trim model equipped with a keyless entry system—in that case, the mechanical key is usually hidden in the door handle or a concealed spot for backup. During regular maintenance, you can use a small brush to clean the keyhole to prevent dust buildup and avoid jamming. Always double-check the key position before driving to save yourself a lot of trouble.
