Where is the keyhole of the Envision?

[SanMartin]

The keyhole of the Envision is located on the driver's side door, and there is no keyhole inside the car as this model is equipped with a one-button start system. The Buick Envision is a mid-size SUV under the Buick brand, with dimensions of 4686mm in length, 1839mm in width, and 1686mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2750mm. The Buick Envision is powered by two engines: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine delivers a maximum power of 169 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 5600 rpm and the maximum torque available between 1700 to 4400 rpm. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine produces a maximum power of 260 horsepower and a maximum torque of 400 Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 5500 rpm and the maximum torque available between 3000 to 4000 rpm.

After buying the Envision, I realized how advanced this car really is—I hardly ever need to take out the key. But the keyhole is actually hidden behind the door handle; if you look closely, there’s a small square cover. I only noticed it last time when my key fob ran out of battery—you can pry open the cover with the mechanical key to reveal it. There’s also an emergency start slot under the steering column; just insert the key to start the car if the remote fails. It’s so convenient in daily use that it’s easy to forget these details. I recommend new owners ask the salesperson to demonstrate these features during pickup—they could be lifesavers in a pinch.

After repairing cars for over a decade, I've seen too many owners who couldn't find the keyhole. The Envision's design is quite hidden: there's a rectangular plastic cover at the end of the left front door handle—pry it open with your fingernail to reveal the lock. A backup ignition slot is concealed beneath the decorative panel on the right side of the steering wheel; insert the key with the Buick logo facing upward. However, most cars now come with keyless entry, making mechanical locks primarily for backup. If you need to manually open the door, remember to pull the driver's door handle first, otherwise the cover won't open.

Last time my car key got soaked and stopped working, I finally figured out the mechanical lock on the Envision. That smooth little square on the driver's side door handle can be pried open with the key to reveal the lock cylinder. The plastic trim panel under the center console can actually be popped off to find a key-shaped slot for insertion. Remember to press the brake pedal when starting mechanically. The emergency start function is described on page 87 of the manual - I recommend owners try it beforehand, unlike me who got stranded in a parking lot at midnight.
