If the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO is posi-
tioned farther away from the vehicle, the
system may no longer recognize the Smart-
Key with KEYLESS-GO. The vehicle cannot
be locked or the engine started via the KEY-
LESS-GO system.

If the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO is
removed from the vehicle while the engine
is running (e.g. if a passenger exits the
vehicle with the SmartKey with KEYLESS-
GO), the message Key Not Detected
appears in the multifunction display while
driving off.
Find the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO or
change its present location immediately
(e.g. place it on the passenger seat or insert
it in shirt pocket).

If you have started the engine with the KEY-
LESS-GO start/stop button, you can only
turn it off again with this button, even if you
have put the SmartKey in the starter switch
in the meantime.

This does not apply if, after starting, the
automatic transmission is still in park posi-
tion P and the SmartKey is then inserted in
the starter switch. The SmartKey will then
have priority over the KEYLESS-GO func-
tion and the vehicle’s electrical system will
operate according to the position of the
SmartKey in the starter switch, even stop-
ping the engine.

The vehicle could be inadvertently
unlocked if the SmartKey with KEYLESS-

Remember that the engine can be started
by anyone with a SmartKey with KEYLESS-
GO that is left inside the vehicle. If you leave

when exiting and locking the vehicle, the
message Key Detected In Vehicle
appears in the multifunction display.
