Important notes
If the KEYLESS GO key is removed from the
R
vehicle (e.g. in luggage or an article of
clothing), it will no longer be possible to
lock or start the vehicle.
If the KEYLESS GO key is removed from the
R
vehicle while the engine is running, e.g. if
the front passenger leaves the vehicle with
the KEYLESS GO key, the following mes-
sage will appear in the multi-function dis-
play as you pull away: Key not detec-
ted.
If the KEYLESS GO key is in the vehicle, the
R
vehicle can be started at any time. If you
