Important notes on using KEYLESS-GO
ț You can also use the SmartKey with
KEYLESS-GO like a normal key
(
୴ page 86).
ț You can combine KEYLESS-GO func-
tions with normal key functions (e.g.
unlocking with KEYLESS-GO and lock-
ing with the remote control).
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 key
must be located outside the vehicle
within approximately 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 the doors must be closed.
ț If you have started the engine with the
KEYLESS-GO start/stop button, you
can only turn it off again with this but-
ton, even if you have put the key in the
starter switch in the meantime.
ț This does not apply if, after starting, the
selector lever is still in position P. The
SmartKey will then have priority over
the KEYLESS-GO function and the vehi-
cle’s electrical system will operate ac-
cording to the position of the key in the
starter switch, even stopping the en-
gine.
ț If the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO is
positioned farther away from the vehi-
cle (e.g. inside clothing or briefcase)
and can no longer be recognized by the
Warning!
G
When leaving the vehicle always remove the
key from the starter switch, take the Smart-
Key with KEYLESS-GO (if so equipped) with
you and lock the vehicle. Do not leave chil-
dren unattended in the vehicle, or with ac-
cess to an unlocked vehicle. Unsupervised
use of vehicle equipment may cause serious
personal injury.
!
To prevent possible malfunction, avoid
exposing the SmartKey with
KEYLESS-GO to high levels of electro-
magnetic radiation.
