What to take from it

• Your key fob hides a real key. Most fobs contain a physical metal key for manual unlocking — the thing that saves you when the fob battery dies in the cold.
• Hidden tricks are free features. You already paid for them when you bought the car. Learning them costs nothing and can save a locksmith call.
• Learn them before winter. A frozen lock or a dead fob is a bad time to discover a trick. Watch, try it once, remember it.
