Important information for using
KEYLESS-GO R
You can use the KEYLESS-GO key as a
conventional key.
R You can combine KEYLESS-GO functions
with those of a conventional key, e.g. open
with KEYLESS-GO and close with the
& button.
R Always carry your KEYLESS-GO key on your
person.
R Never keep the KEYLESS-GO key with:
-electronic equipment, such as your
mobile phone or another key
- metal objects, such as coins or metal foil
This may impair the functioning of
KEYLESS-GO.
R To open or close the vehicle, the KEYLESS-

from the door or trunk.
R If the vehicle is parked for more than
72 hours, the KEYLESS-GO function is
deactivated. Pull one of the outer door
handles and turn on the ignition to
reactivate the KEYLESS-GO function.
R When the KEYLESS-GO key is removed
from the vehicle, it is possible that the
system may not recognize it. In this case,
the vehicle cannot be locked or started with
KEYLESS-GO.
R If the KEYLESS-GO key has been removed
from the vehicle, e.g. if a passenger leaves
the vehicle with the KEYLESS-GO key:
- while someone is holding the Start/Stop
button or attempting to lock the vehicle using the outer door handle, the
Key Not Detected message will appear in
the multifunction display.
- while the engine is running, the red Key Not Detected message will appear in
the multifunction display as you pull
away. Find the KEYLESS-GO key and
change its position in the vehicle. Place

the vehicle and:
- a jet of water splashes an outer door
handle
or

R Note that the engine can be started by any
vehicle occupant if a KEYLESS-GO key is in
the vehicle.
