Keyless lock and ignition system (only
PCC
1
)
General
The keyless drive function in the PCC allows
the car to be unlocked, driven and locked with-
out the need for a key. You simply have to have
the PCC with you. The system makes it easier
and more convenient to open the car, e.g.
when your hands are full.
Both of the car's PCCs incorporate the Keyless
function. Additional PCCs can be ordered, see
page 44.
PCC range
In order to open a door or the tailgate, a PCC
must be no more than approx. 1.5 metres from
the car door handle or tailgate. This means that
the person who wishes to lock or unlock a door
must have the PCC with him or her. It is not
possible to lock or unlock a door if the PCC is
on the opposite side of the car.
The red rings in the preceding illustration indi-
cate the range covered by the system's anten-
nas.
If all PCCs are removed from the car when the
engine is running or key position
II is active
(see page 74) and if all doors are closed, then
a warning message is shown in the information
display and an audio reminder signal sounds at
the same time.
The warning message clears and the audio
reminder signal stops when the PCC is brought
back to the car after:
•
a door has been opened and closed
•
the PCC is inserted into the ignition switch
•
the READ button has been pressed.
Handling the PCC safely
If a PCC with keyless drive function is left in the
car, it is deactivated temporarily when the car
is locked. This prevents unauthorised entry.
However, if someone breaks into the car,
opens the door and finds the PCC, it can be
reactivated. It is therefore important to handle
all PCCs with great care.
IMPORTANT
Never leave a PCC behind in the car.
Interference to PCC function
Electromagnetic fields and screening can inter-
fere with the keyless drive system. For this rea-
son, do not place the PCC near mobile phones
or metallic objects.
If interference is experienced nonetheless, use
the PCC and the key blade as a remote control
key., see page 45.
