Locking and unlocking
ț In order to start the engine with the
SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO:
ț the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO
must be located in the vehicle
ț all the doors must be closed
ț If you have started the engine with the
KEYLESS-GO start/stop button, you
can only turn it off again with this but-
ton, even if you have put the key in the
starter switch in the meantime.
ț This does not apply if, after starting, the
selector lever is still in position P. The
SmartKey will then have priority over
the KEYLESS-GO function and the vehi-
cle’s electrical system will operate ac-
cording to the position of the key in the
starter switch, even stopping the en-
gine.
ț If the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO is
positioned farther away from the vehi-
cle (e.g. inside clothing or briefcase)
and can no longer be recognized by the
system, the vehicle cannot be locked
or the engine started via the KEY-
LESS-GO system.
ț If the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO is re-
moved from the vehicle while the igni-
tion is switched on (e.g. if passenger
exits the vehicle with the key), the mes-
sage
Key not recognized!
will appear
in the multifunction display.
Find the key or change its present loca-
tion immediately (e.g. place it on the
front passenger seat or insert it in shirt
pocket).
ț Remember that the engine can be
started by anyone with a SmartKey
with KEYLESS-GO that is left inside the
vehicle. If you leave the card behind
when exiting and locking the vehicle,
the message
Key recognized in vehi-
cle!
will appear in the multifunction
display.
