Remote key
The remote key is used to lock and unlock doors, the tailgate and the fuel filler door. The remote key must be in the vehicle in order to start the engine.
The remote key is not physically used to start the ignition because the vehicle is standard-equipped with keyless start (Passive Start). The key only needs to be in the front section of the passenger compartment.
For vehicles equipped with keyless locking and unlocking (Passive Entry)*, the engine can be started with the key anywhere in the vehicle. A smaller, lighter and button-less key (Key Tag) is also provided.
The remote keys can be linked to different driver profiles to store personal settings in the vehicle.
Remote key buttons

Unlocking - Press once to unlock the doors, tailgate and fuel filler door and disarm the alarm.- Press and hold to open all windows at the same time. This total airing function can be used to e.g. quickly air out the vehicle in hot weather.
Tailgate - Unlock and disarm the tailgate only. On vehicles equipped with the power tailgate*, press and hold to automatically open the tailgate. Press and hold to close an open tailgate (an audible warning signal will be given).

Warning
If anyone is left in the vehicle, make sure that power to the power windows and panoramic roof* is cut off by always taking the remote key with you when you leave the vehicle.
Note
Be aware of the risk of locking the remote key in the vehicle.
- If the remote key or key tag is left in the vehicle, it will be deactivated when the vehicle is locked and the alarm set using another valid key. The key will be reactivated when the vehicle is unlocked.
Button-less key (Key Tag)*
The button-less key2 provided with the keyless locking and unlocking function works in the same way as the regular remote key for keyless start, locking and unlocking. The key is waterproof up to a depth of approx. 10 meters (30 feet) for up to 60 minutes. It does not have a detachable key blade and its battery cannot be replaced.
Interference
Electromagnetic fields or obstructing objects may interfere with the remote key's functions for keyless start and keyless locking and unlocking*.
Note
If you experience interference, use the remote key's detachable blade to unlock the vehicle and then place the remote key in the backup reader in the tunnel console storage compartment to disarm the alarm and start the vehicle.
