The KEYLESS-GO function is integrated
into the SmartKey. On these vehicles, the
validity of the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO
is checked every time you pull an outside
door handle.
If the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO is valid,

door or the side window. Correct the condition
that prevents the windows from operating before
attempting to close the door.

Important notes on using KEYLESS-GO*
You can also use the SmartKey with

tions with normal SmartKey functions
(e.g. unlocking with KEYLESS-GO and

KEYLESS-GO with you.
Never store the SmartKey with
KEYLESS-GO together with:
Electronic items such as a cellular
phone or another SmartKey with

moved from the vehicle (e.g. if passen-
ger exits the vehicle with the SmartKey

cle with the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO, then
the batteries in the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO
