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-
GO key should be no more than 3 ft (1 m)
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

SmartKey from the ignition lock. Always take
the SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle.
Do not leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle, even if they are secured in a child
restraint system, and do not give them access
to an unlocked vehicle. A child's unsupervised
access to a vehicle could result in an accident
and/or serious personal injury. They could:

R be seriously or fatally injured by extreme
heat or cold
R injure themselves or have an accident with
vehicle equipment that may still be in
operation even after the SmartKey has
been removed from the ignition, such as the

adjustment or memory function.
If children open a door, they could cause
severe or even fatal injury to other persons; if
they get out of the vehicle, they could injure
themselves when doing so or be seriously or
even fatally injured by any passing traffic.
Do not expose the child restraint system to
direct sunlight. The child restraint system's
metal parts, for example, could become very
hot, and a child could be burned on these
parts.
