The mechanical keyhole of the Tiida is located on the main driver's door handle, and there is also a smart-key-sized slot below the start button. Here is some information about the Tiida: 1. The new Tiida has added Dongfeng Nissan's "Smart Travel+" connected car system. 2. The system is equipped with iFlytek voice recognition technology and, in collaboration with AutoNavi Maps, provides real-time online map updates. The system enables intelligent congestion avoidance, inertial navigation, and remote real-time monitoring. Users can remotely monitor the vehicle's status and locate the vehicle in real-time through a mobile app.

When I first started driving the Tiida, it took me a little effort to find the keyhole. It's located on the right pillar of the steering wheel, specifically in the lower right area below the steering wheel. When you're in the driver's seat, just glance down to the right and you'll see a small circle—that's where you insert the key. As a new owner, I found the placement quite user-friendly, not too hidden. I recommend getting familiar with the car's layout during the day when the lighting is good, especially since it makes nighttime driving easier, avoiding fumbling in the dark. Most Tiida models have the keyhole in this same location, similar to the new X-Trail. Just remember not to let debris get stuck in there—dust buildup might make it hard to insert the key. A simple wipe with a cotton swab can prevent minor issues. The position is easy to find and secure, and once you get used to it, starting the car becomes second nature.

Having driven a Tiida for over a decade, I'm very familiar with the keyhole position—it's located on the lower right side of the steering column, just below the steering wheel on the right, allowing for direct operation. When starting the car, a natural reach and twist with the right hand ignites the engine, showcasing a practical and well-thought-out design. This standard placement is consistent across older Tiida models, making it straightforward and hassle-free. If you can't locate it, the steering wheel might be adjusted too high or low, obstructing the view—simply readjust it. Keeping the keyhole clean is crucial, and occasionally applying lubricant ensures smoother insertion and removal. Newer Tiida models come with keyless entry, eliminating the need for a traditional keyhole, but most key-operated versions maintain this placement. My driving experience has taught me that regular checks to ensure everything is in order can prevent emergencies and malfunctions.

The keyhole for the Nissan Tiida is located on the right side of the steering column, just in front of the driver's seat on the right-hand side. Newer Tiida models may come with a smart keyless system, allowing you to start the car with just a button, eliminating the traditional keyhole. However, for traditional models, the keyhole is fixed in that position, making it easy to locate as soon as you get in the car. The design is straightforward and clear, avoiding any confusion. If the owner is unsure about the model's configuration, checking the manual or looking up interior images online will clarify. A simple tip is to keep the keyhole unobstructed.
