In the event of a lockout in your car the extra key lets you manually start your vehicle. If you have a spare, your car will be simpler to start and you won't require a locksmith service or contact the dealership.

Buttons

Your key fob is capable of much more than just unlocking and starting the car. Many cars have buttons that open the windows, for instance some have a panic button designed to make a loud noise to scare away criminals in the event that you are in a frightening situation.

Memory Seats

Many luxurious vehicles have seat memory, a feature that allows you to save your preferred seating position so it's readily accessible every time you drive the vehicle. It works by using a series of buttons typically located on the driver's side of the door panel, close to the power seat levers. It typically keeps two saved positions and is able to be used by more than one person (think spouse, best bud or partner in criminal activity).

Sit in the driver's seat, and press the button to set. Hold it for five seconds or until you hear the single chime. This sets the power seat, mirrors and the hud display according to your preference. To recall, simply press the number button (either 1 or 2) that corresponds to your driver's number.

Depending on the vehicle the memory settings can be assigned to specific keyfobs. This means you can save profiles with each keyfob. They'll automatically be remembered when you use the key for the driver you've selected. This is particularly helpful if you have multiple drivers who are using the vehicle. They can save their preferences for driving and not have to adjust the mirrors or seats manually every time they get in the car.

Remember, however that if there are two drivers with distinct seating preferences, they'll need to manually recall their own seat positions each time they switch their key fobs. It's an inconvenience but it'll assist you in avoiding confusion and mishaps.

If you're having trouble with your push-button starting, the first step is to replace the battery. This is because the fob batteries typically last for several years before needing to be replaced. Then, look over the fob and determine if there are any buttons that seem to be out of place or damaged. Since the fob is constantly tossed around all day, it's not common for buttons to be smashed or stuck over time.

The push-button starter system in your vehicle operates on the wireless signal received by the antenna of the vehicle. The car only turns on when the button is pressed, and it sends a code to the car which activates its ignition.
