Important notes on using KEYLESS-GO
ț You can also use the SmartKey with
KEYLESS-GO like a normal SmartKey
(
୴ page 94).
ț You can combine KEYLESS-GO func-
tions with normal SmartKey functions
(e.g. unlocking with KEYLESS-GO and
locking with the
Πbutton).
ț Always carry the SmartKey with
KEYLESS-GO with you.
ț Never store the SmartKey with
KEYLESS-GO together with:
ț Electronic items such as a cellular
phone or another SmartKey with
KEYLESS-GO
ț Metallic objects such as coins or
metal foil
Doing so could impair the function of
the KEYLESS-GO system.
ț To lock or unlock the vehicle, the
SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO must be
located outside the vehicle within ap-
proximately 3 ft (1 m) of a door or the
trunk.
ț In order to start the engine with the
SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO:
ț The SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO
must be located in the vehicle.
ț All doors must be closed.
ț The brake pedal must be firmly de-
pressed. Do not depress the accel-
erator.
ț If you have started the engine with the
KEYLESS-GO start/stop button
(
୴ page 37), you can only turn it off
again with this button, even if you have
put the SmartKey in the starter switch
in the meantime.
ț This does not apply if, after starting, the
selector lever is still in position P and
the SmartKey is then inserted in the
starter switch. The SmartKey will then
have priority over the KEYLESS-GO
function and the vehicle’s electrical
system will operate according to the
position of the SmartKey in the starter
switch, even stopping the engine.
ț If the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO is
positioned farther away from the vehi-
cle, the system may no longer recog-
nize the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO.
The vehicle then cannot be locked or
the engine started via the KEYLESS-GO
system.
