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.
The key has four buttons – one on the left-hand side and three on the right-hand side.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
