Important notes on using KEYLESS-GO
You can also use the SmartKey with
KEYLESS-GO like a normal SmartKey
(page 110).
You can combine KEYLESS-GO func-
tions with normal SmartKey functions
(e.g. unlocking with KEYLESS-GO and
locking with button ‹).
Always carry the SmartKey with
KEYLESS-GO with you.
Never store the SmartKey with
KEYLESS-GO together with:
Electronic items such as a cellular
phone or another SmartKey with
KEYLESS-GO
Metallic objects such as coins or
metal foil
Doing so could impair the function of
the KEYLESS-GO system.
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 lid.

The SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO
must be located in the vehicle.
The brake pedal must be firmly de-
pressed. Do not depress the accel-
erator.

positioned farther away from the vehi-
cle, the system may no longer recog-
nize the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO.
The vehicle cannot be locked or the
engine started via the KEYLESS-GO
system.
If the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO is re-
moved from the vehicle (e.g. if passen-
ger exits the vehicle with the SmartKey
with KEYLESS-GO)
!
If you can no longer lock or unlock the vehi-
cle with the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO, then
the batteries in the SmartKey are discharged,
the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO is malfunction-
ing or the vehicle battery is drained.
Check the batteries in the SmartKey with
KEYLESS-GO and replace them if necessary
(page 441).
Use the mechanical key to unlock the driv-
er’s door (
page 436) and the trunk
