A digital key lets you use your phone or smart watch as a key card to unlock, lock and start the vehicle.
Note
- Some devices might not be compatible with the digital key. If you're not sure if your device supports digital keys, check with your phone's manufacturer.
Using your digital key
After setting up a digital key on your device, you can use it as a key card. This means that you can unlock the vehicle by placing the device on the door pillar and start the vehicle by placing the device on the card reader.
Sharing a digital key
As the vehicle's owner, you can share your digital key with family and friends. You can also delete any shared keys at any time. To share a digital key, look for the sharing icon in your phone's wallet app.
Owners can also share their digital key to another compatible device or move their main digital key to another device: for example, when they get a new phone. You can find these options in the owner's profile settings.
Digital key on a device with a discharged battery
Your digital key may still work for a while even after the device that it's on has run out of battery.
Whether you can use your digital key when your device has a discharged battery depends on how the key is set up in the wallet app. Contact the device manufacturer for more information.
