Where is the keyhole of the Tiida located?
2 Answers
The mechanical keyhole of the Tiida is located on the driver's side door handle. Additionally, there is a slot the size of the smart key beneath the start button. In case the smart key runs out of battery, you can insert the entire smart key into the slot below the start button, press the brake pedal, and then press the start button to start the vehicle. The Tiida is a compact car under Dongfeng Nissan. Taking the Tiida 2021 1.6L Manual Ledong Edition as an example, its dimensions are 4393mm in length, 1766mm in width, and 1539mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. The body adopts a 5-door, 5-seat hatchback structure, with a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters and a curb weight of 1180kg. In terms of power, the Tiida 2021 1.6L Manual Ledong Edition is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 90kW and a maximum torque of 155Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
When I first drove the Tiida, the keyhole was right on the ignition switch to the right of the steering wheel. You just had to insert the key and turn it to start the car—it felt pretty straightforward. If you can’t find it after searching for a while, there might be a hidden keyhole on the door for unlocking or accessing the trunk. I remember the Tiida’s design was quite user-friendly; a small panel on the side of the door handle could be flipped open to reveal the keyhole. Nowadays, many new cars use smart keys where you just press a button to start, so the physical keyhole might seem insignificant, but it’s very useful in emergencies—like when the battery dies and you still need to unlock the car. It’s also good to keep the keyhole free of dust to prevent jamming; occasionally wiping it with a soft cloth is recommended. In short, knowing where it is makes daily use easier, so don’t overlook these small details.
