KEYLESS ENTRY
General information
WARNING
The keyless entry system may not
function if the key is close to metal
objects or electronic devices such
as mobile phones.
Note: If the door handles are pulled
repeatedly during a short period of time
without the presence of a valid passive
key, the system will become inoperable
for 30 seconds.
The passive entry system will not function
if:
• The passive key frequencies are
jammed.
• The passive key battery is flat.
Note: If the passive entry system does
not function, you will need to use the key
blade to lock and unlock your vehicle.
The keyless system allows the driver to
operate the vehicle without the use of a
key or remote control.

a half metres from the driver and front
passenger door handles and the luggage
compartment lid.
Passive key
The vehicle can be locked and unlocked
with the passive key. The passive key can
