Instruments and controls Operation Driving Instrument cluster display 38 Practical hints Car care Technical data Index Central locking system KEYLESS-GO Important! For the KEYLESS-GO-system to function properly, the operator should observe the following: • The driver should carry the KEYLESS-GO-card with him/her. • To avoid radio transmission interference, never store the KEYLESS-GO-card together with other electronic items (e.g. cellular telephones, other KEYLESS-GOcards) or metallic objects (e.g. coins, metal foil). • To lock or unlock the vehicle, the card must be recognized by the system as being located outside the vehicle. The card must be in close proximity to a door or the trunk lid (approx. 3 ft. [1 m]). To activate the start/stop button function, the KEYLESS-GOcard must be recognized by the system as being located inside the vehicle. • If the KEYLESS-GO-card is positioned farther away from the vehicle (e.g. inside clothing or a briefcase) and can no longer be recognized by the system, the vehicle cannot be locked or the engine started via the KEYLESS-GO-system. • If the KEYLESS-GO-card is removed from the vehicle while the engine is running, or by placing the card in front of the center armrest (see page 190), the message "CHIP-CARD - NOT RECOGNIZED!" will appear repeatedly in the multifunction display, see page 318. Find the card or change its present location (e.g. place it on the front passenger seat or insert it in shirt pocket). • If the message "CHIP-CARD - NOT RECOGNIZED" is ignored for an extended period of time (approx.15 minutes), the engine could stop by itself during a vehicle stop (e.g. traffic light). The vehicle can then no longer be centrally locked or the engine restarted. You must first find the card or change its present location (e.g. place it on the front passenger seat or insert it in shirt pocket). Start the engine again. See page 224. • Do not forget, the engine can be started by anyone with a KEYLESS-GO-card that is left inside the vehicle. Leaving the chip-card behind when exiting and locking the vehicle, the message "CHIP-CARD - STILL IN VEHICLE" appears in the multifunction display, see page 318.
