What to do if your Ford vehicle does not recognize the key

Model: Ford Kuga C520, MK 2 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Key

In this video, we will see what to do if, when getting into the car, our vehicle does not recognize the key with which we entered. Remove the rubber mat from the cup holder or the storage compartment, and place the key there. This is a common issue with Ford vehicles, and at this point, the car should recognize the key and allow us to start it. Another more empirical method is to, once inside the car, open and close the doors using the remote control button. At that point, the car should recognize the key and start without any issues.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14.
