Distance-capable keys
Digital keys and charged key fobs are distance-capable, meaning your car can detect them when you approach or leave it. This allows for automatic locking and unlocking.
Go to settings to select your preferences and to turn automatic locking and unlocking on or off.
Note
Your distance-capable keys also have NFC1 functionality. This means that even if a distance-capable key has a low or discharged battery, you can still use it as a key card. Therefore, any reference to key card functionality applies to discharged distance-capable keys too.
Key reading sensor in the door handle
You can lock and unlock the car by placing any type of key on the key reading sensor. It's on the side of the driver's door handle which is closest to the front of the car.
Make sure the card or device is laid flat against the reader. If you're using a key fob, the logo should be facing towards you.
Key reader
You can place your key card or a discharged key fob on the card reader between the front seats to get driving access.
Note
The card reader won't work at the same time as the wireless charger.
