 Warning

If anyone is left in the car, make sure the power windows are de-energised by always taking the key with you when you leave the car.

 Note

Be aware of the risk of locking the key in the car.

  • A key left in the car will be deactivated when the car is locked and the alarm is armed using another valid key. The "Double lock" function is also deactivated. The key left behind is reactivated when the car is unlocked.

Button-less key (Key Tag)

The key tag works in the same way as the regular key as regards keyless starting and locking and unlocking.

The key is waterproof to a depth of approx. 10 metres (30 feet) for up to 60 minutes. It has no detachable key blade and the battery cannot be replaced.

Interference

Key functions for keyless starting and keyless locking and unlocking can be disrupted by electromagnetic fields and screening.

 Note

Avoid storing the key close to metal objects or electronic apparatus, e.g. phones, tablets, laptops or chargers - preferably no closer than 10-15 cm (4-6 inches).

If there is still interference - use the key's detachable key blade to unlock and then place the key in the backup reader in the cup holder to disarm the car and allow the car to be started.

 Note

When the key is placed in the cup holder, make sure that no other car keys, metal objects or electronic apparatus (e.g. phones, tablets, laptops or chargers) are in the cup holder. Several car keys close to each other in the cup holder can cause interference with each other.
