"On" position (starter switch position 1, see page 230). Most electrical consumers can be operated. For detailed information see respective subjects. Operation/driving position (starter switch position 2, see page 230). All electrical consumers can be operated. Gear selector is unlocked. "Off" position (electronic key removable from starter switch). Most electrical consumers cannot be operated. The selector lever is locked in position "P". Notes: For improved recognition of the KEYLESS-GO-card the doors should be closed when pressing the start-/stop button. The gear selector lever can only be moved with the vehicle battery charged and connected, and the starter switch in the Operation position. With the gear selector lever in position "P", the brake pedal must also be depressed. Important! For the KEYLESS-GO-system to function properly, the operator should observe the following: • If the KEYLESS-GO-card is positioned farther away from the vehicle (e.g. inside clothing or a briefcase), the vehicle cannot be locked (see page 38) or started with the start-/stop button (see page 235). • 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 198), the message "CHIP-CARD - NOT RECOGNIZED!" will appear repeatedly for approx. 2 seconds in the multifunction display, see page 328. If the message "CHIP - CARD - NOT RECOGNIZED" is ignored for an extended 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. Start the engine again.
