How a Smart Key Works

Model: Smart Smart Various
Part: Key

Video tutorial

The Smart Key, despite some people still viewing it with a degree of suspicion, has become commonplace and is extremely useful, especially for city cars, which are used primarily in urban areas for frequent trips between school, work, gym, and supermarket.

With these keys, you can open the car even without holding the key or the remote.

Simply touch the handle and the car will unlock; just have the remote in your pocket or handbag, and the car opens. Once inside, press the start button, and the engine will start without hesitation.

If there are issues with the remote battery, remember that there is a physical security key inside the key itself, allowing you to start the car even with a dead remote by placing the key in a strategic position on the steering column (each brand has its specific location).
