1. Remote window control
One of the most useful and cool features of the car key is ‘remote window control’. Holding the unlock button in the key of many cars for a few seconds causes all the windows in the car to roll down together. Also, pressing and holding the lock button closes the windows.
2. Panic button
Many people think that the panic button in the key is only useful during theft. But, it is also the best tool to easily locate your car in a large parking lot. When this button is pressed, the car’s lights flash and the horn sounds. This allows the car to be found immediately.
3. The ‘real key’ hidden in the smart key
Many smart keys these days also have a physical metal key hidden inside. If the car’s smart key runs out of battery, you can manually open the car door with the help of a hidden key.
4. Remote engine start and cabin cooling
Many premium car keys available in the market include remote engine start feature. In hot weather, you can start the car from outside and turn on the AC. This also reduces the sudden load on the system.
5. Auto Folding ORVMs (Outer Mirrors)
With this smart key, the ORVMs automatically fold the exterior mirrors as soon as the car is locked and open as soon as the car is unlocked. This keeps the mirrors safe in tight parking spaces. It also ensures that the car is locked or not.
