Your car unlocks differently depending on which type of key you are using. Once unlocked, your car gradually powers on. Many features, such as the climate system, will be accessible once you enter your car.
To start your car, press down the brake pedal and select a driving gear. If you are using a key card or a discharged distance-capable key, you must first place it on the card reader.
- All doors are closed.
- All occupants are properly seated and wearing their seatbelts correctly.

- The driver area is unobstructed and that the pedals are freely moveable.
Tip
If you are using a distance-capable key, make sure to keep it with you.
If you are using a key card or a discharged distance-capable key, place it on the card reader.
The selected gear is indicated in the driver display. The ready symbol also appears, emphasising the transition from parked to a driving gear.
Note
The ready symbol disappears when the car's speed exceeds walking pace.
