Important notes on using KEYLESS-GO
ț You can also use the SmartKey with
KEYLESS-GO like a normal SmartKey
(
୴ page 304).
The starter switch is under the
KEYLESS-GO button. Pull the
KEYLESS-GO button out in order to ac-
cess the starter switch.
ț You can combine KEYLESS-GO func-
tions with normal SmartKey functions
(e.g. unlocking with KEYLESS-GO and
locking with button ‹).
ț Always carry the SmartKey with
KEYLESS-GO with you.
ț Never store the SmartKey with
KEYLESS-GO together with:
ț Electronic items such as a mobile
phone or another SmartKey with
KEYLESS-GO
ț Metallic objects such as coins or
metal foil
Doing so could impair the function of
the KEYLESS-GO system.
ț To lock or unlock the vehicle, the

pressed. Do not depress the accel-
erator.
ț If the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO is
positioned farther away from the vehi-
cle, the system may no longer recog-
nize the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO.

moved from the vehicle (e.g. if passen-
ger exits the vehicle with the SmartKey
with KEYLESS-GO)

start/stop button or trying to lock
the vehicle with the outside door
handle the message “Key not recog-
nized” appears in the multifunction

(
୴ page 317), you can turn it off again
with:
