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.
96
Remote control max. 1.5 m from the car
In order to open a door or the tailgate, a
remote control must be no more than approx.
1.5 m from the car door handle or tailgate.
This means that the person who wishes to
open a door must have the remote control
with him or her. It is not possible to open a
door if the remote control is on the other side
of the car.
The grey areas in the illustration depict the
areas covered by the system's antennas.
If someone leaves the car and takes a keyless
drive remote control with them, a warning
message appears on the information display
and a reminder signal sounds. The warning
message disappears when the remote
control is brought back to the car or the
ignition dial is turned to position 0. The
warning is only issued if the ignition dial is in
position I or II after a door has been opened
and closed.
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 0
• the READ button has been pressed.
