STARTING & DRIVING

Keys

The keys supplied to you have been programmed for

the security system on your vehicle. Any key that is not

programmed to your vehicle can not start the engine.

Overview

The key only works within a certain range. Its operating

range is sometimes inﬂuenced by the key battery condition,

physical and geographical factors. For safety consideration,

after you lock your vehicle by the key, please recheck if the

vehicle is locked.

Keep the spare key in a safe place - not in the

vehicle!

It is recommended that spare keys are not

，

kept on the same key ring since this may

cause interference and prevent correct key

recognition and therefore prevent the engine

from starting.

The key contains delicate electronic

components and must be protected from

impact and water damage, high temperature

and humidity, direct sunlight and the effects

of solvents, waxes and abrasive cleaners.
