Where is the spare key slot for the Mondeo?

The spare key slot for the Mondeo is located inside the center console. Use the mechanical key to open the car door, then insert the depleted smart key into the key slot in the center console to detect it, and start the vehicle. Below is additional information about the Mondeo key: 1. The mechanical keyhole for the Mondeo is on the door handle, and the small cover next to it can be pried open. Take out the mechanical key, insert it to hold the position, then remove the lock cover in the direction of the arrow to see the keyhole. First, press the key against the hole, then grip the white cover and slide it out in the direction of the arrow. After that, you will see a lock cylinder; insert the key and turn it to open. 2. The buttons on the Ford Mondeo car key include one for locking, one for unlocking, and one for the trunk. Press and hold the unlock button for 5 seconds to unlock and automatically open all windows, including the sunroof, all the way down. Press and hold the lock button for 5 seconds to lock the car and automatically close all windows, including the sunroof. Press the trunk button twice in succession to automatically pop open the trunk.
Last time my car key ran out of battery, I encountered this issue too. The location of the Mondeo's backup induction slot depends on the model year. For pre-2017 models, it's usually inside the center console armrest—open the compartment and look for a square indentation mark on the base plate, then press the back of the key against it to start the engine. For newer models, it might be in the storage compartment in front of the cup holders or sometimes moved to the inner side of the armrest. The key point is to press firmly until the key's red light turns on, indicating successful detection—I once almost broke a nail trying. The backup slot is just a temporary fix; replacing the key battery promptly is the real solution.
