Where to Insert the Mechanical Key for the New Bluebird?

For the Bluebird equipped with a one-button start function, there is no key ignition slot. The mechanical key of the Bluebird can be used to unlock the car door, with the keyhole located on the door handle. Below are the relevant details: 1. Exterior: The exterior of the Bluebird remains consistent with the Chao Yin edition, with no adjustments made. The Nissan family-style V-Motion grille, combined with the muscular front fascia design, creates a visual impact. It features a floating roof design, with boomerang-shaped headlights that complement the front fascia style. The V-shaped taillights at the rear correspond to the headlight design. 2. Interior: The interior has been upgraded with a Nissan Intelligent Connectivity multimedia system, equipped with an active safety system.

On the Nissan Sylphy, the mechanical key is primarily used in two locations: one is the door unlock hole, usually located under the driver's side door handle, where there's a small groove—insert the key, twist it, and the door unlocks; the other is the ignition keyhole to start the engine, found near the base of the steering column—insert the key fully and turn to start the car. Having used this car for quite some time, I've found that if the key doesn't insert smoothly or gets stuck, don't force it—it could be due to dust buildup or key wear. Regularly cleaning the keyhole with an alcohol swab can prevent such issues. Additionally, the Sylphy comes with a remote key system, but if the battery dies, the mechanical key becomes your savior, so knowing its location is crucial. For daily key storage, avoid friction with hard objects in your bag to prolong its lifespan and ensure smooth insertion when needed. When parking, make it a habit to check the cleanliness of the keyhole, especially during the rainy season, to avoid delays when heading out.

As an enthusiast who frequently maintains cars, I would point out the mechanical keyhole locations for the new Bluebird: the door lock cylinder is located in the recessed area near the inner side of the door handle, while the ignition cylinder sits at the base below the steering wheel. When using it, gently insert the key all the way and then twist; if you feel resistance, it's likely due to dirt blockage or insufficient lubrication—simply clean the keyhole with a small soft brush and apply a drop of dedicated lubricant (avoid excess to prevent attracting more dust). A common mistake new owners make is applying excessive force, which can damage the key head—always test the rotation to gauge resistance first. The mechanical key serves as a security backup, as most modern cars like the Bluebird feature keyless systems. However, I advise users to check their spare key’s condition annually to avoid being unprepared in emergencies. If the key won’t insert, don’t rush to call a tow truck—first check the remote battery or circuit fuse, as simple maintenance might resolve the issue.

The mechanical keyhole of the new Bluebird is mainly located below the door handle and under the steering column, used for unlocking and ignition. The keyhole is designed to be hidden to prevent dust accumulation. When using it daily, insert gently and then twist, avoiding excessive force. If it gets stuck, cleaning the dirt around the hole should resolve the issue.
