Once you've set up a digital key on your device, it works in the same way as your other keys. If your device has UWB1 capability, your vehicle will be able to detect the digital key from a distance. If your device doesn't have UWB capability, the digital key works as a key card.
The vehicle's owner can create one primary digital key. Once the primary key has been created, you can share digital keys with family and friends.
Note
Compatible devices
Some devices might not be compatible with the digital key. If you're not sure if your device supports digital keys, check with your phone's manufacturer.
Using the digital key on a device with UWB
- using the approach and leave feature for automatic unlocking and locking

Tip
Disable passive entry in wallet app
Many wallet apps have a setting that lets you disable passive entry. When this feature is disabled, your vehicle won't unlock automatically when you get close to it while carrying a digital key. The approach unlock feature will still be available when you use your other distance-capable keys.
Using the digital key on a device without UWB
If your device doesn't have UWB capability, your digital key works as a key card. To unlock the vehicle, open your key in the wallet app and place the device on the driver's door pillar. To start the vehicle, put the device on the key reader between the front seats.
Sharing the digital key
Once you’ve set up a primary digital key, you can share it with family and friends. Open the digital key in your phone's wallet app to find the sharing option.

Tip
No battery
