KEYLESS-GO
General notes
Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO are equipped with a
key featuring an integrated KEYLESS-GO start
function and a detachable Start/Stop button.
The Start/Stop button must be inserted in the
ignition lock and the key must be in the vehicle.
When you insert the Start/Stop button into the
ignition lock, the system needs approximately
two seconds recognition time. You can then use
the Start/Stop button.
Pressing the Start/Stop button several times in
succession corresponds to the different key
positions in the ignition lock. This is only the
case if you are not depressing the brake pedal.
If you depress the brake pedal and press the
Start/Stop button, the engine starts immedi-
ately.
A check which periodically establishes a radio
connection between the vehicle and the key
determines whether a valid key is in the vehicle.
This occurs, for example, when starting the
engine.
