If you own a newer vehicle, you might not even know some of these features exist. They all have their perks and drawbacks. It&rsquo;s all there in the owner&rsquo;s manual, but if you want a quick rundown on what your key fob might be capable of, keep reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Window Control<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many vehicles today are capable of remote window control using the key fob. This feature allows you to air the vehicle out prior to stepping inside. To roll down the windows with your key fob, try pressing the unlock button, releasing it, then pressing and holding the button down. Some vehicles might require you to insert the physical key in the lock, turn it counterclockwise, releasing, then turning counterclockwise again while holding the key in place. As for how to roll up your windows with a key fob, you can try pressing the unlock button twice and then holding the button down on the second press. Check your owner&rsquo;s manual for the exact instructions for your vehicle&rsquo;s make and model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remote Start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your vehicle has the remote-engine start (RES) feature, it will often be linked to either an app on your phone or your key fob. As its name implies, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/can-you-add-remote-start-to-your-car-should-you\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"remote start\">remote start<\/a> allows you to start your vehicle remotely. You can turn on the heater and warm up the engine before you enter the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One drawback is that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/11-reasons-why-your-remote-start-is-not-working\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"key fob remote start\">key fob remote start<\/a> typically has a range of 400 to 700 feet. This limits its use for apartment owners unless the remote start has optional app activation. In addition, noxious gases will build up if you remote-start your vehicle in an enclosed space like a residential garage. Remember to take the proper safety precautions and purchase the remote-start system that suits your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keyless Ignition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Keyless ignition, also known as a push-button start, has become a popular addition to modern vehicles. The system utilizes the key fob to identify the vehicle&rsquo;s driver using a unique, low-frequency signal. Simply carrying the fob around allows you to enter and start your vehicle with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main issues of a keyless ignition is the potential for human error. Many drivers have reported leaving their vehicle on after parking and exiting their vehicle, and it&rsquo;s led to at least two deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning. Staying aware of your vehicle&rsquo;s state is essential with a keyless ignition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mirror Folding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your key fob can also remotely fold your vehicle&rsquo;s mirrors. You won&rsquo;t need to head to either side of your vehicle to fold your mirrors manually anymore. This helps prevent them from getting swiped by closely passing vehicles. You can activate this feature on newer Chevrolet and GMC pickups by holding the lock button for one second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Smart Parking Assist and Vehicle Summon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain vehicles now have a smart parking assist feature built into their systems. For Teslas, it&rsquo;s called vehicle summon. This feature allows you to move your vehicle forward or backwards while standing outside it. It&rsquo;s great for getting your vehicle into and out of tighter parking slots. You won&rsquo;t need to struggle with exiting or entering your vehicle even when it&rsquo;s close to other parked cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Teslas, you&rsquo;ll first need to enable the system on the center screen. To move the car forward, press the button on the center of your fob until the hazard lights begin flashing. This will activate the Summon feature. For Hyundai vehicles, activate smart assist by pressing the Smart Park button found on the center console and following the instructions on the digital gauge cluster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mechanical Key<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While many vehicles with a keyless ignition no longer make use of a mechanical key, certain models still provide one in the key fob for emergencies. If the key fob runs out of battery, for instance, a mechanical key is helpful for entering the vehicle. There&rsquo;s usually a button on the fob to pull out the key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seat Settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain vehicles also save your seat settings, and the controls are in their key fobs. This is useful for drivers who share a vehicle with others and don&rsquo;t like needing to readjust their seats manually every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Panic Button<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Activating your key fob&rsquo;s panic button triggers the vehicle&rsquo;s alarm system. This is useful for dangerous situations and mundane ones. It can alert any passersby about an ongoing crime, or it can simply help you find your vehicle in a crowded car park. Either way, it&rsquo;s a useful feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning your vehicle&rsquo;s key fob functions is important to avoid any accidental activations. You don&rsquo;t want to roll down your windows as you&rsquo;re walking away only to return to a soaked interior. While it can be difficult to learn all of the features, especially with the lack of labels on the key fob&rsquo;s limited space, it&rsquo;ll be worth it in the long run. Hopefully you&rsquo;ll discover a nifty new feature you can use for your convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Get A New Key Fob Your Vehicle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There&rsquo;s no denying that your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/key-fob\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"key fob\">key fob<\/a> can do wonders, from rolling down your windows and folding the mirrors to activating the panic button and starting the engine.
