unlocking (Passive Entry)* the key can be any-

where in the car to start the car. In this case, a

slightly smaller, lighter key tag (Key Tag) is

also supplied.

The car is supplied with two remote control

keys. A button-less key is supplied if the car

is equipped with keyless locking and unlock-

Limitations of Care Key

The key is linked to a special Care Key driver

profile, and when it is active, the key's settings

cannot be changed. It is not possible to

change to another driver profile either; this

requires a normal remote control key.

The driver profile is activated when the car is

unlocked with a Care Key without a normal

remote control key in the vicinity.

NOTE

In the event of a change of driver, the car

must be locked and unlocked in order to

activate a new driver profile.

Setting options

The following limitations are available to be

set:

For a Care Key, you can set your car's maxi-

mum speed. Other functions of the key are the

same as those of a normal remote control key.
