Keyless Drive* - range7
In order to unlock the doors or tailgate automati-
cally without pressing a button on the remote
control key, a remote control key must be within
approx. 1.5 metres from the car's door handle or
tailgate.
The person who wishes to lock or unlock a door
must have the remote control key with him or her.
It is not possible to lock or unlock a door if the
remote control key is on the opposite side of the
car.
The red rings in the above figure indicate the
range covered by the system's antennas.
If all remote control keys are removed from the
car when the engine is running or key position I
or II (p. 81) is active, and if a door has been
opened and then closed, then a warning mes-
sage is shown in the information display in the
combined instrument panel and an audio
reminder signal sounds at the same time.
When the remote control key has been returned
to the car, the warning message goes off and the
audible reminder ceases once either/or:
•a door has been opened and closed
•the remote control key has been inserted in
the ignition switch
•The OK button on the direction indicator
stalk.

Keyless Drive* - secure handling of
the remote control key
It is important to handle all remote control keys
with great care.
If one of the remote control keys8 has been left
in the car then the keyless functions are deacti-
vated in case the car is e.g. locked with the other
remote control key that belongs to the car. This
prevents unauthorised entry.
The next time the car is unlocked with the other
remote control key the forgotten remote control
key is reactivated again.
IMPORTANT
Avoid leaving the remote control key with
PCC behind in the car. If someone breaks into
your car and takes the remote control key, it
will e.g. be possible to start the car by press-
ing the remote control key in the ignition
switch and then pressing the START/STOP
ENGINE button.
