Keys
1 The Key Memory functions are controlled
by the two remote control units with their
integrated keys, refer to page
59 .
The color-coded decals that you received
when taking delivery of your vehicle can be
used to identify the individual remote
control units
Each remote control unit is equipped
with an extended-life battery which is
automatically recharged in the ignition lock
each time you drive the vehicle.
If you have any remote control units that
are not being used on a regular basis, you
should therefore remember to recharge
these units by using them to drive the
vehicle for an extended period at least
once a year, refer to page
35 .

2 Spare key for storage in a safe place,
such as in your wallet. This key is not
intended for constant use
3 Adapter for spare key
The adapter can be used to store the spare
key. It can be stored in the place provided
within the luggage compartment lid-
mounted onboard tool kit to ensure that it
will always be available, refer to page
181 .
You can find more detailed information on
using the adapter in the section Using the
spare key adapter.
To remove the key from the remote
control unit

You can use this integrated key to lock the
storage compartment located beneath the
front armrest.
Within this storage compartment you will
also find the switch for locking the luggage
compartment separately, refer to page

This precaution prevents unauthorized
access to the vehicle's luggage compart-
ment when you subsequently hand over
only the remote control unit when leaving
the vehicle for valet parking, etc.
Using the spare key adapter
You will need the adapter to activate the
ignition and to start the vehicle with the
spare key.
Slide up the cover 1 and insert the spare
key 2 in the adapter. Close the cover and
insert the adapter in the ignition lock.
