I recently purchased a BMW 7 Series and noticed that it has a key slot near the steering wheel. I'm used to newer cars having push-to-start buttons, so I'm not sure what the purpose of this key slot is. Can anyone explain its function?
ReplyThe key slot in the BMW 7 Series is used as an alternative to the push-to-start feature. If your smart key runs out of battery or malfunctions, you can still start and drive your car by inserting the key into the slot.
Another use for the key slot is as a security feature. If you want to prevent someone from starting your car, you can remove the proximity key and lock the car, making it impossible to start without the physical key.
It's also a convenience feature for valet parking. Instead of handing over your whole smart key, you can simply remove the physical key and give it to the valet.
