On these vehicles, the validity of the KEYLESS-GO card is checked every time you grasp a door handle.

To prevent possible malfunction, avoid exposing the KEYLESS-GO card to high levels of electromagnetic radiation. Important notes on using KEYLESS-GO Always carry the KEYLESS-GO card with you. Never store the KEYLESS-GO card together with: Electronic items such as a cellular phone or another KEYLESS-GO card In order to start the engine with the KEYLESS-GO card: The KEYLESS-GO card must be located in the vehicle. All the doors must be closed. If you have started the engine with the KEYLESS-GO start/stop button, you can only turn it off again with this button, even if you have put the key in the starter switch in the meantime. This does not apply if, after starting, the selector lever is still in position P. The key will then have priority over the card and the vehicle's electrical system will operate according to the position of the key in the starter switch, even stopping the engine. If the KEYLESS-GO card is positioned farther away from the vehicle (e.g. inside clothing or briefcase) and can no longer be recognized by the system, the vehicle cannot be locked or the engine started via the KEYLESS-GO system. G When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key from the starter switch, take the KEYLESS-GO card with you and lock the vehicle. Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Unsupervised use of vehicle equipment may cause an accident and/or serious personal injury. Metallic objects such as coins or metal foil Doing so could impair the function of the KEYLESS-GO system. Always take an electronic SmartKey with you in case of a malfunction of the KEYLESS-GO system. To lock or unlock the vehicle, the card must be located outside the vehicle within approximately 3 ft. (1 m) of a door or the trunk lid. 83
