Remote key's range

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

Manual use

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

Buildings or other obstacles may interfere with the function of the remote key. The vehicle can also be locked or unlocked with the key blade.

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

The remote key may not function properly due to ambient radio waves, buildings or topographical obstructions, etc. The vehicle can always be locked/unlocked with the detachable key blade.

If the remote key is removed from the vehicle

If all of the remote keys are removed from the vehicle while the engine is running, Vehicle key not found Removed from vehicle will be displayed in the instrument panel and an audible signal will sound when all of the doors have been closed. The message will be erased when a remote key has been returned to the vehicle and the O button on the right-side steering wheel keypad has been pressed or when all of the doors have been closed again.
