Imagine if it got windy and the door closed

Alternative ending... “And don’t worry guys, I left the oth-“ _Wind picks up_ *SLAM*

Trying to figure out whenever a time in my life has come or may come where i need to completely lock myself out of my car. I'm coming up with nothing. (Edit: before you copy/paste volvos user manual, please read) This comment is solely a reference to this guy's video and his assertion on how to use this lock/key, (that you insert the key, close the door and it will not reopen from the outside) which is apparently wrong, so it has nothing to do with Volvo themselves. To address the actual use, according to volvo, that this is a replacement for the manual door locks, I don't care, that's not what was stated in the video and thus not what this comment addresses. If I cared what the actual purpose of this was, I would've looked it up myself. So if you feel like telling me that, just go ahead and stop now, I didn't care when the first 20+ people tried to deride me about it, and I won't care about your copy/paste comment either. Now for those who took personal offense to my OPINION that this replacement to manual door locks is a step backwards in engineering, please take special note it's called an opinion. You don't have to agree with it, but feel free to form your own opinion about it. Telling me this mechanism is "cool" won't change my opinion. Not when I own 7 vehicles and can manually lock every door from the comfort of my driver's seat, with the exception of my full size conversion van for obvious size reasons. If you think it's more convenient to walk around the entire car and manually lock every door with a key you've gotta break out of your fob all just so you don't have to look at a lock pin/toggle protruding out of your door card for beauty reasons, then God speed, you do you. I prefer functionality over looks however, thus why my opinion is that this is not a practical replacement for what has worked for the better part of a century from a convenience stand point. So unless you're from Volvo and wish to explain how this mechanism is a better replacement than the door locks that already exist in my vehicles, move along.

One genuine question in what situation you might want to mechanically lock your car

Like, for what reason would the car have a feature to lock the door no matter what? 💀

Me casually wanting to lock myself outside my car sounds great

Finally, I can lock myself out of my car indefinitely 😐

Me: i dont hate anyone. Person: ”i post tiktoks on youtube”🤡 Me: i think i lied earlier

And this is why normal keys are perfectly good enough

Nice This is really gonna come in handy next time I need to lock myself out of my car

Now I know what options I want on mine! $3K to lock myself out of my own damn car!

“And this is the key blade” Kingdom Hearts fans: *heavy breathing*

I remember the 80s when a key was just a key. Lol

I prefer sticking my key in the door, and opening it like normal.

LockpickingLawyer gets ahold of the locked door: "Click out of one..."

Almost all key fob’s have a second actual key in it maybe not some of the older ones but anything newer would have it for sure

I love how he explained how a key works

My Lexus key is a key that is actually a key that acts as a key that only does things a key can do, how it works is you put it in either the drivers, passengers, or trunk door and turn it to unlock it, its just a piece of plastic with metal, doesnt do anything else but is a key, unlike your volvo its a weird key.

I miss the days when cars didn’t have so many gimmicks

What purpose would it serve to leave the key blade in the door to mechanically lock 1 door out..?

"i bet there will be flying cars in the future!" Future: *hehe car goes lock lock*

The key blade is priceless for watersports, you can lock your car and then take the mechanical part of the key in the water with you 👍 (you leave the electronic part hidden in the car somewhere)

I miss the days when volvo wasn't about anything but safety

Per Volvos manual: Locking It is also possible to lock the car with the remote control key's detachable key blade e.g. in the event of a loss of power or if the key's battery has become discharged. The left-hand front door can be locked with its lock cylinder and the detachable key blade. Other doors have no lock cylinders and instead have a lock switch on the end of each door which must be depressed using the key blade - they are then mechanically locked/blocked to prevent them being opened from outside. The doors can still be opened from the inside.

I wasn’t paying attention but as soon as I heard keyblade I turned my head lol

This will definitely come in handy next time I want to call a lock smith but can’t think of an excuse to do so

"And this is the keyblade" Sora: 👁️👄👁️

How does locking the door by keeping key in door come into play when keys needed to unlock door at some point ... 🤔

KZfaq? Na, TikTube.

What's the point of this? If you want to lock yourself in? But is it just the driver's door??

"And this is the keyBLADE" Simple and Clean starts playing in the distance

My favorite part was when he locked the door... with a key nonetheless!

They just made manually unlocking your door (no one does that anymore) like 3 extra step. And why didn’t they just add a little switch to put the drivers door in reverse child lock.

I miss regular car keys. The twist of the ignition was satisfying. Plus, I knew where the keys were. I’m always searching for my keys in the center console, cup holder, seat, etc

Everyone gangsta until the door can't be opened anymore

If he forgot the keys inside: And there’s no way to get in from the outside, pretty cool right? Wait a second… oh crap!

Like land rover super lock system

I Believe the reason you can disable the passanger door is so that you can lock the car while your in it to prevent hijacking. You can also lock the back doors by depressing a switch with the key.

“It is mechanically locked” Ah, even more effective than quantum locking!

"don't worry I have another door open", says a guy 24 hours later after a locksmith could only open a passenger side door

Now my kidnapped victims wont be able to escape! Thanks Tik Toc!!

You know those keys that flip out from the fob? Yeah, I personally like those.

They make beautiful cars and trucks

Seen tiktok users are how they are you know there will be stranded Volvos everywhere

Thanks for the advertisement. I almost went a whole minute without some souless husk trying to sell me something. And you managed stop that from happening. You hero.

I wish my Volvo key looked that nice. Mine looks like the last owner gave it to their dog as a chew toy.

I think it is for when the door is severely damaged and can't lock it self, that should enable you to go to a mechanic without constantly have a hold on it, however idk how easy it is to unlock or how much more they'd charge you

At Volvo HQ How to make our cars better Employee 1: better suspension? Employee 2: easier maintenance? Employee 3: Lock go brrrrrrr..........

Does this Guy know that every Single keyless Car got a Hidden Key ? Some ppl act Like they are new to the world

Don't worry he says...trust me, I wasn't worried at all 😒

My 13 year ford Mondeo has the exact same type of key in the key fob. It's so you can get in if the battery is dead. Hardly a major feature

"And this is the keyblade" *Sora twitches unexpectedly somewhere"

“Open the flap back here you got a keyblade...” **Sora wants to know your location**

Every automatic start key has a key inside Incase button stop's working

In Finland we use that keyhole which was shown last for forcing lock on at winters. That’s because 9/10 times atleast some door don’t wanna be closed and opens constantiously when driving. In that use case it’s only needed to wiggle that little key in that hole and you can feel when the lock is pushed to different position.

The car detects the key and won't lock untill specified. Most (well all examples I know of) keyless systems have this included key to open if the key's battery is dead. Also the key has an NFC chip that allows the car to read it at proximity (often on the start engine button) to be able to switch on the car for conditions like if the battery is dead also.

This is on literally every vehicle with a remote fob lol

Guy: you can’t get to me Khabib: I’ll smesh your window Guy: I’ll be out in a minute

So guys I've found the answer for those wondering the mechanical locking is ment for power failure and can be done to every door my Volkswagen has this along with Audi models and it's really meant if your locks break which is very common acurence with those locks but it is meant for if the specific lock is broken but it doesn't permanently lock you out it just if you lock your doors normally

This is a thing in most cars with electronic key that has been made since the late 90s. I have the exact same system in a 2006 Mercedes, though the mechanical key is more exposed.

Somebody said the mechanical lockout feature is good for kidnappings But he opened the door from the inside

Trying to justify buying a Volvo be like: “okay so basically it has this really cool door”

I’m just picturing the other door suddenly closing while he fiddling with the left one lol.

WOOOOOW!!! That is soooo cool! The key comes with a physical key?!!!?! WhaaaAAAtttt!!!!!!! Epic!!!!!!

Omg keys lock and unlock things. Someone call Guinness.

Imagine if the door didn't open from the inside either at the end of the video

Hit the unlock twice on the key fob and hold it the second time. Windows will roll down. Use the key and insert into the door key and lock it twice and holding it the second time will roll them all up

Another level of Carziness

He is the kind of guy who would be surprised to know tat he can breathe

When the video first started, I was thinking “dont say theres a hidden key in there” and then he did. Everyone knows this.

Wow the innovation, I mean, so forward thinking

"The keyblade" .... A far off memory that's like a scattered dream. ... A scattered dream that's like a far off memory I want to line the pieces up. Yours, and mine ohohoh AND YOU AND I

Classic Swedish design. Unnecessarily intuitive.

Yes.my family have Volvo s90 and it's very perfectttt. s90 is so comfortable

Its funny to see old things like keys looks cool

The first part is standard on every keyless car, (so they aren't truly keyless) as far as I'm aware. The second, what use does that have?

Imagine giving a shit about a leather wrapped key

ALL key fobs have a key like that but most of them slid out from the top or bottom of the fob. It's known as the valet key and also to allow you to unlock the car if the fob dies or the car battery dies.

Ford fobs have the same ‘shard’ and even have the same doorsill barrel for locking/unlocking the passenger door when the battery is out.

Then here me driving a car made in the 70s lol

Can you turn off the auto braking ?

"And don't worry guys, I left the other.. door.. open... I forgot to open it.."

Yes, it is handy. BMW has been doing this for years. My X5 and X4 also have a hidden key like that

DuR hUr HuR I dRiVe A vOlVo AnD i WaNnA dEvOlVo

Why do simple things need to become complicated

Bruh the dealership gonna hire you with that absolute ad of a video

I love those seats. No leather. Just basic fabric.

I work at an automotive dealership.. who knew how easy it was to go viral!

I wish car companies would begin to making older cars again when sports car were manufactured regularly, it would be heaven for car guys, lower prices, more common sports and tuner cars, had to worry more about part prices than the car, and maybe they would be more street legal

Every car I have been in had this feature as a simple button

Does the car not have a physical lock/unlock mechanism on the inside of the door or door handle? If not I think legally they need a way to lock the car while you’re in it and the battery is dead. To deter theft cars no longer have the knobs sticking out of the door that you can push or pull up to lock/unlock the doors, and if they also don’t have a lock mechanism on the door handle the only thing they could do is let you slide the key into the door to lock all the doors. Also the key only works on the driver door so the rest would remain locked as well.

Mini has this same feature, except it's executed MUCH better.

“ One UNBELIEVABLE feature in this car is the key also functions as a KEY “

Ima be real. I was waiting for the "oh shit" after he realizes the door won't open.

So that’s basically the electronic equivalent of pushing down the door locks in old cars, does the same thing except with 100x more computers

This guy really loves his key

So when you shut the door you scratched up the jamb and bent the key. Great job!

A key fob that functions as a key, wow so ingenuitive.

"I'm concerned that KZfaq is slowly turning into cringy degenerate TikTok. Please spread the word" - a wise man in the comment section

Fun fact..it also starts selfdestrucktion sequence called "V1" ....after 16sec it'll do a giant backflip!😂🤣😂
