Remote key range

Updated 2020-03-19

In order to function correctly, the remote key must be within a certain distance from the vehicle.

Manual use

The remote key's functions for e.g. locking and unlocking, which are activated by pressing P5-1507 Remote key icon for lock/global close or P5-1646-x90-Remote key icon for unlocking , have a range of approx. 20 meters (65 feet) from the vehicle.

If the vehicle's locks do not react, move closer and try again.

Keyless* use

For keyless use, a remote key or the Key Tag must be within the shaded areas shown in the illustration, i.e. a semicircle with a radius of approx. 1.5 meter (5 feet) along the sides of the vehicle or approx. 1 meter (3 feet) from the tailgate.

Note

The functions of the remote control key can be disrupted by ambient radio waves, buildings, topographical conditions, etc. The vehicle can always be locked/unlocked using the key blade.

If the remote key is removed from the vehicle

If the remote key is removed from the vehicle while the engine is running, the warning message Vehicle key not found Removed from vehicle will be displayed in the instrument panel and an audible signal will sound when the last door is closed.

The message will disappear when the key is returned to the vehicle and the O button on the right-side steering wheel keypad is pressed or when the last door is closed again.
