Care Key – restricted key

A Care Key enables the vehicle owner to set a maximum speed limit for the vehicle. This limit is intended to promote safe use of the vehicle, e.g. when it is loaned out.

The button functions for a Care Key are the same as those for a standard key, but the key is connected to a particular Care Key driver profile with preselected settings. Another key must be used to change the settings connected to the Care Key or to change to another driver profile.

The restrictions that can be set with a Care Key are intended to give the vehicle owner increased peace of mind when handing over the vehicle to a young or inexperienced driver, a valet, a workshop, etc.

Using a Care Key

The restricted profile is activated when the vehicle is unlocked with a Care key, or when the driver's door is opened and the vehicle detects a Care Key on the driver's side. The Care Key profile can also be activated via the menu where driver profile is selected. In this way, the standard key does not have to be removed.

To then activate a regular driver profile, the vehicle must be unlocked using an unrestricted key.

Indication in the instrument panel

When Care Key is being used, this will be indicated by a symbol in the instrument panel. A red line on the speedometer indicates the selected speed limit.
