G Warning!
As long as the SmartKey is in your vehicle,
the vehicle can be started. Therefore, never
leave children unattended in the vehicle, as
they could otherwise accidentally start the
engine.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the
SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle. Do
not leave children unattended in the
vehicle, or with access to an unlocked
vehicle. A child's unsupervised access to a
vehicle could result in an accident and/or
serious personal injury.
You can start your vehicle without the
SmartKey in the starter switch using the
KEYLESS-GO start/stop button in the starter
switch.
The SmartKey must be located in the vehicle.
