and the tailgate. The remote key must be in the
vehicle in order to start the engine. Remote control key, on left, and button-less key ((Key
Tag)*), on right.

vehicle, the key must be in the front section of
the passenger compartment, e.g. in the driver's
pocket or in a cup holder in the tunnel console.
