Keyless drive (option)
Keyless lock and ignition
system
The keyless drive system allows the car to be
unlocked, driven and locked without the need
for a key. You simply have to have the remote
control with you in a pocket or bag.
The system makes it easier and more
convenient to open the car, for example with
shopping bags in one hand and a child in the
other. It saves you having to take out or look
for the remote control.
The two remote controls incorporate the
keyless drive feature. You can order
additional remote controls. The keyless drive
system can handle up to six remote controls.
Remote control max. 1.5 m from the car
To be able to open a door or the tailgate, the
remote control must be within a maximum of
approximately 1.5 m of the car's door
handles or tailgate. The grey shaded area in
the image shows the area covered by the
system's antennae.
If someone leaves the car and takes with
them a keyless drive remote control, a
warning message appears on the information
display while a reminder signal is heard. The
warning message disappears when the
remote control is brought back to the car or
the ignition dial is turned to position I. The
warning is only issued if the key dial is in
position 1 or 2 after someone has opened
and closed a door.
Locks and alarm
The warning message and reminder signal
disappear when the remote control is
brought back to the car after one of the
following actions:
• a door has been opened and closed
• the ignition dial has been turned to
position I
• the READ button has been pressed.
Do not leave a remote control in the car
If a keyless drive remote control is left in the
car, it becomes passive when you lock the
car. No unauthorised person can open the
door. But if someone breaks into the car and
finds the remote control, it can be activated
and used again.
