Keys

The car’s physical keys are available in different variants. The car detects when a key is in the front part of the passenger compartment, and the car can then be started.

  Tailgate
One press on the button disarms the alarm (Option/accessory.) and unlocks the tailgate. (Option/accessory.) On cars with power operated tailgate, the tailgate is opened or closed with one long press. An acoustic warning signal sounds when the tailgate is opened or closed.
  Panic function
The panic function is used to attract attention in an emergency. Press and hold the button for at least 3 seconds or press it twice within 3 seconds to activate the car’s direction indicators and the horn. The function can be turned off with the same button once it has been active for at least 5 seconds. Otherwise it is deactivated automatically after 3 minutes.
Warning
Watch out for the risk of crushing when opening and closing.
  • Always operate with caution.
  • Do not allow children to play with the controls.
  • Never leave children alone in the car.
  • Remember that the power windows can also be operated even if key has been removed from the car, as long as the seat sensor detects that the driver’s seat is occupied. The driver’s door must be open and the driver’s seat unoccupied in order to switch off the power to the power windows. The power windows can be reactivated via the centre display, even if the key has been removed from the car and the seat sensor does not detect that the driver’s seat is occupied.
  • Never put an object or part of the body through the windows, even if the car’s electrical system is fully disconnected.
Note
A key that has been locked in the car is temporarily deactivated and cannot be used before the car has been unlocked using another valid key.
Button-less key (Key Tag) (Option/accessory.)
A Key Tag can be ordered as an accessory for cars equipped with the keyless locking and unlocking function. Starting and keyless locking and unlocking work in the same way as with the standard key. The key is waterproof to a depth of approx. 10 metres (30 feet) for up to 60 minutes. It does not have extending key blade, and the battery cannot be replaced.

Care Key

NoteThe speed limit function with Care Key will be made available through a planned software update.

You can set a speed limit that is active when the Care Key is used. The limitation is intended to encourage the car to be driven in a safe manner, e.g. when being loaned out.

If the key is removed from the car when the engine is running, the warning message, The car key is not detected. See Owner’s Manual for more information., is shown in the driver display and an acoustic reminder sounds when the last door is closed. The message disappears when the key is returned to the car, followed by a press of the right-hand keypad’s O button, or when all of the doors have been closed.

Interference
Key functions for keyless starting and keyless locking and unlocking (Option/accessory.) can be disrupted by electromagnetic fields and screening.
Note
Avoid storing the car’s keys close to metal objects or electronics (e.g. mobile phones, tablets, laptops or chargers). Preferably no closer than 10-15 cm (4-6 inches). If there is still interference – use the key’s detachable key blade to unlock. Then place the key in the back-up reader in the tunnel console’s storage compartment to disarm the alarm and allow the car to be started.
Note
When the key shall be read by the back-up reader, make sure that the area is separate from other nearby car keys, metal objects and electronics (e.g. mobile phones, tablets, laptops or chargers). These objects may disrupt the functions.
