Key

The key is used to lock and unlock the doors and trunk lid. The key or phone must be in the vehicle in order to start the engine.

The key is not physically used to start the ignition because the vehicle is equipped with keyless start (Passive Start). The key or phone only needs to be in the front section of the passenger compartment.

The keys can be linked to different driver profiles to store personal settings in the vehicle.

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

  • If the key is left in the vehicle, it will be deactivated when the vehicle is locked and the alarm set using another valid key. The key will be reactivated when the vehicle is unlocked.

Interference

Electromagnetic fields or obstructing objects may interfere with the key's functions for keyless start and keyless locking and unlocking.

 Note

Avoid storing the key near metal objects or electronic devices, e.g. phones, tablets, laptops or chargers – preferably no closer than 10-15 cm (4-6 in.).

If you experience interference, use the key's detachable blade to unlock the vehicle and then place the key in the backup reader in the tunnel console cupholder to disarm the alarm and start the vehicle.

 Note

When the key is placed in the cupholder, make sure there are no other vehicle keys, metal objects or electronic devices (e.g. phones, tablets, laptops or chargers) in the cupholder. Multiple vehicle keys close to each other in the cup holder can disrupt their functionality.
