10 Secrets Use for Your Car Key Fob
How much thought do you pay to your car key fob? This piece of plastic may be little and inexpensive, but can help you do more than just unlocking your car.
Start your car remotely
Lower your windows
But did you know you can also use your key fob to down off windows? Reports said that the key fob for many cars now can roll down all windows at once.
Try pressing your unlock button twice, holding down the second time until all windows are open.
Fold in your mirrors
If you’ve maneuvered your car into a tight parking space, your key fob can help make sure your side-view mirrors don’t get knocked off when someone else is squeezing by. For cars that don’t do this automatically when they lock, try holding the key fob lock button for ten seconds. Consumer Reports says this feature tends to be available on newer Chevrolet and GMC pickup trucks.
Unlock your trunk
In older cars, you may have had to use a mechanical key to get back in the trunk, but now many newer models have key fobs that allow you to open your back hatch with just the click of a button. This trick is one of 13 weird car features you're probably missing out on.
Start your car
Keyless ignition systems are becoming more common, with 62 percent of cars sold last year having this feature.
Should you choose to go keyless on your next model, your key fob can serve as a way to start or stop your car as long as the key fob is in the car with you and your foot is on the brake. Just make sure to never leave your key fob—or any of these things—in your car.
Stay safe at night
The key fob of almost every car has a “panic” button which will set off your emergency alert systems, helping you find your vehicle in the most crowded parking garage. But if the garage is deserted, setting off this feature can also help ward off would-be criminals.
Prevent home break-ins
The attention-grabbing of your car’s alarm system can also prevent home break-ins. If your key fob works on your car from within your home, keep it by your nightstand. If you hear something in the night, hitting the panic button can scare off the thief and is one of several things you can do to save your home from a break-in.
Unlock your car
OK, this one may seem obvious… unless you have a keyless car and a fob with a dead battery. As keyless ignitions become more popular, fewer and fewer cars operate with traditional mechanical keys. The problem here? The fob that unlocks the car by sending computer signals to the vehicle can run out of batteries. Luckily, Toyota says the fobs for its keyless cars also have a mechanical key tucked in them should this be the case.
Adjust your seat
Sharing your car with taller people or shorter people than you? GMC offers some models that allow you to set a “memory” of where you like your seat. Each key fob is assigned a different number, so when you get in the car, it knows who’s driving. From there, you can set your seat preference and go.
Parking in tight spaces
Never again worry about scraping another vehicle. The car key fob for Teslas can be used to park your car in tight spaces, says Business Insider. The driver doesn’t even need to be inside. The “summon” feature will stop when obstacles are detected and even close your garage door for you.
