Important!
For the KEYLESS-GO-system to function properly, the
operator should observe the following:
•The driver should carry the KEYLESS-GO-card with
him/her.
•To avoid radio transmission interference, never store
the KEYLESS-GO-card together with other electronic
items (e.g. cellular telephones, other KEYLESS-GO-
cards) or metallic objects (e.g. coins, metal foil).
•To lock or unlock the vehicle, the card must be
recognized by the system as being located outside
the vehicle. The card must be in close proximity to a
door or the trunk lid (approx. 3 ft. [1 m]). To activate
t he start/stop button function, t he KEYLE SS-GO-
card must be recognized by the system as being
located inside the vehicle.
•If the KEYLESS-GO-card is positioned farther away
from the vehicle (e.g. inside clothing or a briefcase)
and can no longer be recognized by the system, the
vehicle cannot be locked or the engine started via
the KEYLESS-GO-system.•If the KEYLESS-GO-card is removed from the vehicle
while the engine is running, or by placing the card
in front of the center armrest (see page 195), the
message “CHIP-CARD – NOT RECOGNIZED!” will
appear repeatedly in the multifunction display,
seepage324.
Find the card or change its present location (e.g.
place it on the front passenger seat or insert it in
shirt pocket).
•If the message “CHIP-CARD – NOT RECOGNIZED”
is ignored for an extended period of time (approx.15
minutes), the engine could stop by itself during a
vehicle stop (e.g. traffic light). The vehicle can then
no longer be centrally locked or the engine
restarted. You must first find the card or change its
present location (e.g. place it on the front passenger
seat or insert it in shirt pocket). Start the engine
again. See page 230.
•Do not forget, the engine can be started by anyone
with a KEYLESS-GO-card that is left inside the
vehicle. Leaving the chip-card behind when exiting
and locking the vehicle, the message “CHIP-CARD –
STILL IN VEHICLE” appears in the multifunction
display, see page 324.

•Opening the driver’s door with the engine shut off
and no electronic key in the starter switch, the
message “CHIP-CARD – DO NOT FORGET” appears
as a reminder, see page 324.
Important
In the case of a malfunction in the KEYLESS-GO-system,
we recommend that you carry the electronic key plus
mechanical key with you and keep them in a safe place
s o t hat t hey ar e always han dy. Never leave t he e le ctron ic
key in the vehicle.Notes:
The KEYLESS-GO-function also permits closing of
windows and sliding/pop-up roof (convenience feature),
see page 45.
With the KEYLESS-GO-card in close proximity
(approx. 3 ft. [1 m]) of the vehicle, aiming a jet of water
at a door handle (e.g. when washing the vehicle) or
cleaning snow from a door, could lock or unlock the
vehicle inadvertently.
To prevent a possible inadvertent lockout, the trunk lid
will open automatically if a KEYLESS-GO-card is
recognized in the area of the rear shelf or inside the
trunk.

KEYLESS-GO-card
When using the electronic key and the KEYLESS-GO-
card at the same time, the electronic key overrules the
KEYLESS-GO-card.
If the engine is started with the start-/stop button on the
gear selector lever, and afterwards the electronic key is
inserted in the starter switch, the engine continues to
run with the gear selector lever in positions “R”, “N”,
“D” plus ranges “4”, “3”, “2”, “1” until it is stopped by
using the start-/stop button on the gear selector lever.If the electronic key is inserted in the starter switch
while the gear selector lever is in position “P”, the
electronic key takes over. The vehicle operates
according to the electronic key position in the starter
switch (see page 228), eventually even stopping the
engine.
Wa r n i n g !
When leaving the vehicle always remove the
electronic key from the starter switch, take the
KEYLESS-GO-card with you, and lock your vehicle.
Unsupervised use of vehicle equipment may cause
serious personal injury.
