The KESSY system (Keyless Entry Exit System, hereinafter referred to only as
system) allows the switching on or switching off of the ignition and starting or
stopping of the engine without the active use of the key.
A key must be in the vehicle to unlock the steering, switch on the ignition and
start the vehicle. When travelling the key must be in the vehicle.
The engine running noises may louder at first be louder for a short time after
starting the cold engine. This is quite normal and is not an operating problem.
WARNING
Never leave the key in the vehicle when you exit the vehicle. Unauthor-
■
ized persons, such as children, for example, could lock the car, turn on the
ignition or start the engine - there is a danger of injury and accidents!
Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine running - there is a
■
risk of theft etc!
Never switch off the engine before the vehicle is stationary - risk of acci-
■
dent!
WARNING
Never leave the engine running in unventilated or closed rooms. The ex-
■
on
haust gases from the engine contain substances such as odourless and col-
ourless carbon monoxide (a poisonous gas) - risk to life!
Carbon monoxide can cause unconsciousness and death.

CAUTION
The system can recognize the valid key, even if it has been forgotten, for ex-
■
ample, in the front of the vehicle roof
of loss or damage to the key! It is therefore not always necessary to know
where the key is.
The starter must only be operated when the engine is not running and the
■
vehicle is at a standstill. The starter or engine may be damaged if the starter is
