Do not place remote control in trunk since trunk is locked when the lid is closed if the vehicle is centrally locked.

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.
