ever, the ignition will not be switched on. The engine cannot be started. Start/Stop button General notes
Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO are equipped with
keys featuring an integrated KEYLESS-GO func- tion and a detachable Start/Stop button.
A check that periodically establishes a radio
connection between the vehicle and the key
determines whether a valid key is in the vehicle.This occurs, for example, when the engine is
started.
When you insert the Start/Stop button in the
ignition lock, the system needs approximately
two seconds of recognition time. You can then
use the Start/Stop button.
Pressing the Start/Stop button several times in
succession corresponds to the different key
positions in the ignition lock. Pre-requisite for
this is that:
R you do not depress the brake pedal (vehicles
with automatic transmission)
R you do not depress the clutch pedal (vehicles
with manual transmission)
If you depress the brake pedal and press the
Start/Stop button, the engine starts immedi-
ately (vehicles with automatic transmission).
If you depress the clutch pedal and press the
Start/Stop button, the engine starts immedi-
ately (vehicles with manual transmission).
To start the vehicle without actively using the
key:
R the Start/Stop button must be inserted in the
ignition lock
R the key must be in the vehicle
R the vehicle must not be locked with the key or
