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, 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) 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.
Warning
The key contains a button cell battery. Keep new and used batteries out of the reach of children. If someone swallows a battery it may cause serious injury.
If damage is discovered, e.g. if the battery cover cannot be closed properly, then the product should not be used. Keep defective products out of the reach of children.
Standard key and its buttons
Warning
If anyone is left in the car, make sure the power windows and panoramic roof are de-energized by taking the key with you when you leave the car.
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)
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 meters (30 feet) for up to 60 minutes. It does not have extending key blade, and the battery cannot be replaced.
Care Key
Note
The 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 active key is removed from the car
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 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 backup 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 backup 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.
