Getting started Unlocking Unlocking with KEYLESS-GO* Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO*: In addition to the two SmartKeys with remote controls and removable mechanical key, your vehicle comes equipped with two KEYLESS-GO* cards. The function of the SmartKey overrules the KEYLESS-GO function. If you have the KEYLESS-GO function, your vehicle checks whether the KEYLESS-GO card is valid when you grasp the door handle. If your KEYLESS-GO card is valid, the doors will unlock, and you can open them. Pressing the KEYLESS-GO start/stop button on the selector lever corresponds to turning the key to the various starter switch positions. Warning! i To unlock the vehicle, the KEYLESS-GO card must be outside the vehicle, no further than approximately 3 feet (1 meter) away from the door. Grasp the door handle. All turn signal lamps blink once. The locking knobs in the doors move up. G When leaving the vehicle, always take the SmartKey and 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. 32
