General notes

RDo not keep the KEYLESS-GO key: - with electronic devices, e.g. a mobile phone or another SmartKey - with metallic objects, e.g. coins or metal foil
- inside metallic objects, e.g. a metal case This can impair the functionality of the KEYLESS-GO key.

Do not keep the KEYLESS-GO key in the temperature-controlled cup holder  . Otherwise, the KEYLESS-GO key will not be recognized.

Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO are equipped with a SmartKey featuring an integrated KEYLESSGO function and a detachable Start/Stop button.

The Start/Stop button must be inserted in the ignition lock and the SmartKey with the integrated KEYLESS-GO function must be in the vehicle.

Pressing the Start/Stop button several times in succession corresponds to the different key positions in the ignition lock. This is only the case if you are not depressing the brake pedal.

If you depress the brake pedal and press the Start/Stop button, the engine starts immediately.

The Start/Stop button can be removed from the ignition lock. Then, you can insert the SmartKey into the ignition lock.

You do not have to remove the Start/Stop button from the ignition lock when you leave the vehicle. You should, however, always take the SmartKey with you when leaving the vehicle. As long as the SmartKey is in the vehicle: • the vehicle can be started using the Start/Stop button and
• electrically powered equipment can be operated.

The engine can be turned off while the vehicle is in motion by pressing and holding the Start/Stop button for approximately three seconds.
