Illuminated key tip

[C M Smith <cmsmith@domain.elided>]

It is dark here  a lot.

One tip for avoiding scratches if the key you use is not illuminated: hold 
the key near the tip with your fingertips. The human fingertip is 
incredibly sensitive (you can easily detect an irregularity approaching 
1/64 inch with your fingernail for example). The base of the key is held 
against the palm of your hand, more or less as usual. The fingertips locate 
the tiny slot for the key tip, insert and push gently with the palm of your 
hand. A cinch on the darkest night. Now finding the ignition lock while 
inside the car is a different trick, that's what courtesy lights are for.

Cheers
