Part: Key

On the hottest summer days, it can be very convenient to open your car windows before getting in. To do this, press and hold the left button on the remote key to understand what is needed to open the doors. If your car is equipped with a sunroof, it will also open along with the windows to better ventilate your cabin. The same function described so far can also be performed by inserting the key into the lock and turning it in the direction of door opening, holding the key in that position until the windows open.
