However, this can only be used to lock and unlock the car doors and glove compartment. Press the small button on the key fob and you can remove a metal key. You can also press the buttons on the fob to lock or unlock things, but I don’t find that to be necessary. My old car had a normal remote entry key fob, and while it’s not as if it was that big of a burden to take it out to open the doors, I do find it more convenient to just push the button on the door handles - especially if I’m carrying something or trying to keep track of my son. I find this aspect of the Smartkey system to be fantastic. They won’t lock if the key is inside the car, however, making it basically impossible to lock your keys in the car. Or, if the doors were already unlocked, they will lock. If you have the key on your person (basically within a foot or so of the door), the car will sense this and the doors will unlock. To get in the car, you push a small button on one of the front door handles, or on the rear liftgate. During normal operation of the car, you never have to take out your keys. The Smartkey is really an electronic key fob that is meant to stay in your pocket (or purse) at all times. As I mentioned earlier, I’ve never really been a “car guy” and until recently was driving a car from 1999, so I hadn’t been fully aware that this kind of thing was possible. Except for the LX model, which has a normal key and remote entry fob, all of the Sorento models come with Smartkeys and push-button ignitions. But I’ve come to appreciate them more and more as I use the car. I can’t say that these were a huge factor in my choosing the Sorento in the first place (although they, along with the UVO System, helped to give the car a futuristic feel that I liked).
