Things to Know About Smart Keys

Model: Smart Smart Various
Part: Key

Video tutorial

In this video, the YouTuber shares useful information about smart keys, which are keys without a visible blade for inserting into a lock. These keys do have an emergency 'blade' (also called a 'spare key') hidden within the body, which is used to open the vehicle when the remote battery is flat.

Usually, the lock is hidden under a cover on the driver's side. However, once inside the car, there is no lock to start the vehicle.

Each car has a designated spot to place the remote, even if it is flat, which allows the vehicle to start. But be careful! The remote must be intact, meaning it shouldn't have been submerged in water or run over by wheels.

A tip? Replace the battery at least once a year.
