It is possible to select different sequences for unlocking.
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.
Available key types are standard key, Key Tag, (Option/accessory.) and Care Key.(The figure is schematic – parts may vary depending on car model.)
The standard key and Care Key are equipped with buttons. Additional keys to the number included as standard can be ordered. For cars equipped with keyless locking and unlocking,(Option/accessory.) a slightly smaller, lighter and button-less key (Key Tag) can be purchased as an accessory.
To start the car, a key needs to be within the front part of the passenger compartment.
For cars equipped with keyless locking and unlocking (Passive Entry) (Option/accessory.) the key can be anywhere in the car to start the car.
These keys can be linked to different user profiles to save personal preferences in the car.
The key has four buttons – one on the left-hand side and three on the right-hand side.
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.
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.
Key functions for keyless starting and keyless locking and unlocking (Option/accessory.) can be disrupted by electromagnetic fields and screening.
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 cup holder 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 cup holder 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.
You can use the key’s buttons to lock or unlock the whole car.(Also applies to the fuel filter flap.)
