notes
Vehicles withKEYLES S-GOareequip pedwith
SmartKeys featuringtheintegrated KEYLESS-
GO function andadetachable Start/Stopbut-
ton. A
check whichperiodica llyestablishes aradio
connec tionbetween thevehicle andtheSmart-
Key determines whetheravalid SmartKey isin
the vehicle. Thisoccurs, forexample, when
starting theengine.
When youinsert theStart/ Stopbutton intothe
ignition lock,thesystem needsapproximately
two seconds recognition time.Youcanthen use
the Start/ Stopbutton.
Pressing theStart/ Stopbutton several timesin
succession corresponds tothe different Smart-
Key positions inthe ignition lock.Thisisonly the
case ifyou arenot depressing thebrake pedal.
If you depress thebrake pedalandpress the
Start/ Stopbutton, theengine startsimmedi-
ately.
To start thevehicle without actively usingthe
SmartKey:
R the Start/ Stopbutton mustbeinserted inthe
ignition lock
R the SmartKey mustbeinthe vehicle
R the vehicle mustnotbelocked withthe
SmartKey orKEYLES S-GO(Ypage 71)
Do not keep theKEYLES S-GOkey:
R with electronic devices,e.g.amobile phone
or another SmartKey.
R with metallic objects, e.g.coins ormetal foil.
R inside metallic objects, e.g.ametal case.
This canaffect thefunctionality ofKEYLES S-GO.
If you lock thevehicle withtheSmartKey remote
cont rolorwith KEYLES S-GO,afterashort time:
R you willnotbeable toswitch onthe ignition
with theStart/ Stopbutton.
R you willnolonger beable tostart theengine
with theStart/ Stopbutton untilthevehicle is
unlocked again.
If you lock thevehicle centrallyusing thebutton
on the front door(Ypage 76),youcan cont inue
to start theengine withtheStart/ Stopbutton.
The engine canbeswitched offwhile thevehicle
is in motion bypressing andholding theStart/
Stop button forthree seconds. Thisfunction
operates independently ofthe ECO start/st op
