Key
The key locks and unlocks the doors and boot lid. The key or phone needs to be inside the car for it to be started.
The key is not physically used when starting since the car is equipped with support for keyless starting (Passive Start). You simply need to have the key or phone in the front part of the passenger compartment.
These keys can be linked to different driver profiles to save personal preferences in the car.
The key's buttons
Locking - Pressing the button locks the doors, boot lid and fuel filler flap and also arms the alarm.- A longer press closes all windows.
Unlocking – Pressing the button unlocks the doors and boot lid and also deactivates the alarm.- A longer press opens all windows simultaneously. This total airing function can be used, for example, to quickly air the car in hot weather.
Cargo area – A long press open the boot lid mechanically with the aid of spring pressure.
Panic function – 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 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 the function switches off automatically after 3 minutes.
Warning
If anyone is left in the car, make sure the power windows are de-energised by always taking the key with you when you leave the car.
Note
Be aware of the risk of locking the key in the car.
- A key left in the car will be deactivated when the car is locked and the alarm is armed using another valid key. The "Double lock" function is also deactivated. The key left behind is reactivated when the car is unlocked.
Interference
Key functions for keyless starting and keyless locking and unlocking can be disrupted by electromagnetic fields and screening.
Note
Avoid storing the key close to metal objects or electronic apparatus, 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 and then place the key in the backup reader in the cup holder to disarm the car and allow the car to be started.
Note
When the key is placed in the cup holder, make sure that no other car keys, metal objects or electronic apparatus (e.g. mobile phones, tablets, laptops or chargers) are in the cup holder. Several car keys close to each other in the cup holder can cause interference with each other.
