Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the proper use, setup, and maintenance of your Chery KAIYI E5 Xuandu Smart Remote Key. Please read this manual thoroughly before attempting to use the key to ensure correct functionality and to avoid potential issues.
Setup Instructions
The Chery KAIYI E5 Xuandu Smart Remote Key is designed to provide convenient access and control for your vehicle. Proper setup is crucial for its functionality. This key features a remote control (R/C) function and a physical key blade.
Initial Programming and Key Blade Cutting
- Key Blade Cutting: The physical key blade (as shown detached in Figure 1) must be cut by a qualified locksmith or automotive service center to match your vehicle's lock cylinder.
- Remote and Immobilizer Programming: The smart remote key contains an immobilizer chip and remote control electronics that must be programmed to your Chery KAIYI E5 Xuandu vehicle. This process typically requires specialized diagnostic equipment and should be performed by a certified automotive technician or dealership. Attempting to program the key yourself without the necessary tools may result in damage or improper function.
- Battery Installation (if not pre-installed): Ensure a fresh battery (typically a coin cell, e.g., CR2032) is correctly installed in the key fob. Refer to the 'Maintenance' section for battery replacement instructions.
Once the key blade is cut and the key is successfully programmed to your vehicle, you can attach the key blade to the fob if it's a foldable or retractable design, or keep it separate as a backup.
Operating Instructions
Your smart remote key provides convenient functions for locking, unlocking, and accessing your vehicle's trunk. The key features standard buttons for these operations.
Remote Functions
- Lock Button: Press this button once to lock all vehicle doors. The vehicle's turn signals may flash, and a horn chirp may sound to confirm locking.
- Unlock Button: Press this button once to unlock the driver's door. Press it a second time within a few seconds to unlock all other doors. The vehicle's turn signals may flash to confirm unlocking.
- Trunk Release Button: Press and hold this button to remotely open or unlatch the vehicle's trunk or tailgate.
Manual Key Functions
In case the remote battery is depleted or the remote function is not working, you can use the physical key blade to manually unlock the driver's door and start the vehicle (if your vehicle supports this method with a smart key).
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and reliable operation of your smart remote key, follow these maintenance guidelines:
Battery Replacement
The remote key is powered by a small coin cell battery. When the remote range decreases significantly or the key stops responding, it's likely time to replace the battery.
- Carefully separate the two halves of the key fob casing. This may require a small flat-head screwdriver or a specialized tool to gently pry it open at the seam.
- Note the orientation of the old battery before removing it.
- Remove the old battery and insert a new, equivalent coin cell battery (e.g., CR2032), ensuring the positive (+) side faces the correct direction.
- Carefully snap the two halves of the key fob casing back together until it is securely closed.
General Care
- Keep the key dry and away from moisture. Water damage can severely impair its electronic components.
- Avoid exposing the key to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or strong magnetic fields.
- Do not drop the key or subject it to strong impacts, as this can damage internal components.
- Clean the key with a soft, dry cloth if necessary. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
