Keyless lock and ignition system
G019423
The keyless drive system allows the car to be
unlocked, driven and locked without the need
for a key. You simply need to have the remote
control key with you in a pocket or a bag.
The system makes it easier and more conven-
ient to open the car, for example with shopping
bags in one hand and a child in the other. It
saves you having to take out or look for the
remote control key.
The two remote control keys incorporate the
keyless drive function. You can order addi-
tional remote controls. The keyless drive sys-
tem can handle up to six remote controls.
Remote control key max. 1.5 m from the
car
In order to open a door or the boot lid, a remote
control key must be no more than approx.
1.5 m from the car door handle or boot lid.
This means that the person who wishes to
open a door must have the remote control key
with him or her. It is not possible to open a door
if the remote control key is on the other side of
the car.
The grey area in the illustration indicates the
range covered by the system's antennas.
If someone leaves the car and takes a keyless
drive remote control key with them, a warning
message appears on the information display
and a reminder signal sounds. The warning
message disappears when the remote control
key is brought back to the car or when the igni-
tion dial is turned to position
0 . The warning is
only issued if the ignition dial is in position I or
II after someone has opened and closed a
door.
The warning message and reminder signal dis-
appear when the remote control key is brought
back to the car after one of the following
actions:
•
a door has been opened and closed
•
the ignition dial has been turned to position
0
•
the READ button has been pressed.
Never leave any remote control key in the
car
If a remote control key with keyless drive func-
tion is left in the car, it is made passive when
the car is locked. This prevents unauthorised
entry.
If someone breaks into the car and finds the
remote control key, it can be activated and
used again. It is therefore important to handle
all remote control keys with equal care.
Interference to remote control key
function
Electromagnetic screening and fields can inter-
fere with the keyless drive system. To avoid
this: do not place the remote control key near
mobile phones, metallic objects or, for exam-
ple, in a metal briefcase.
If interference is experienced nonetheless, use
the remote control key and key blade in the
normal way, see page 122.
