Key functions

Locking and unlocking

You can start, lock or unlock the vehicle using

KEYLESS-GO. To do this, you need to carry

the key with you. You can combine the KEY-

LESS-GO functions with the functions of a

conventional key. Unlock the vehicle by using

KEYLESS-GO, for instance, and lock it using

the & button on the key.

The driver's door and the door at which the

handle is used must both be closed. The key

must be outside the vehicle. When locking or

unlocking with KEYLESS-GO, the distance

between the key and the corresponding door

handle must not be greater than 1 m.
