Saed News: Surely, you have seen the small button on the door handle of some cars, but are you familiar with its purpose?
According to the Car Magazine service, a car features numerous buttons and switches, and it can be difficult to remember the purpose of each one. One button that usually goes unnoticed but is quite useful is the small button on the door handle, found in most cars. From the Toyota Prius to the Jeep Wrangler, this button is used on a variety of vehicles and is installed on the front door handles. This button is part of the keyless entry system, also known as Keyless.
Essentially, the discussed button allows the car owner to lock and unlock the vehicle doors without using the actual key. Instead of carrying a bunch of keys, all you need to do is keep the car's remote in your pocket or bag, and by simply pressing the small button on the door handle, you can send the command to lock or unlock the doors to the central locking system. However, it’s important to note that if the remote and key are out of a specific range, this button will no longer function.
Thanks to the use of a version of the keyless entry system by various automakers, we now see cars equipped with keyless systems in different models. There are several types of keyless entry systems, with the most common ones seen in vehicles from a few years ago. By using the button on the remote, drivers can lock or unlock the car doors without needing the actual key. This remote and keyless system is the oldest one and can still be found in most cars produced in our country. Another version of keyless entry uses the small buttons on the front doors. There is also a system that automatically opens the doors when the driver approaches the car, and no button needs to be touched.
An advanced version of keyless entry works using the car owner’s smartphone. This version of keyless entry does not even require a remote or key; instead, by installing a specific app for the keyless entry system and having the smartphone nearby, the car doors can be locked and unlocked. The first company to use this feature was Tesla, and since 2017, many companies such as Lexus, Cadillac, Audi, Lucid, and Mazda have adopted this system.
