The smart key system uses Radio Frequency (RF) transmissions that could interfere with implanted medical devices. To avoid any possibility of interference between the system and the device, make sure that the device is kept at a safe distance of at least 22 cm away from any transmitter. In rare circumstances, interference may cause an implanted medical device to malfunction.
For more information on the locations of the security system transmitters, see ÉMETTEURS DU SYSTÈME DE CLÉ INTELLIGENTE.
To prevent accidental or unauthorised operation, never leave children or animals unattended in the vehicle. The vehicle can be operated when the smart key is inside the vehicle.
The operational range of the smart key varies considerably, depending on atmospheric conditions and interference from other transmitting devices.
If any door, or the tailgate, is unlocked ten times within a short period, the locking latch disables for approximately 1 minute.
A replacement smart key can be obtained only from a retailer/authorised repairer. The retailer/authorised repairer will require proof of identification and ownership. Notify a retailer/authorised repairer immediately if a smart key is lost or stolen.
The vehicle is supplied with two smart keys. The smart keys act as remote controls for the locking and alarm system. The smart keys allow the vehicle to be locked, unlocked, and driven without the use of a conventional key. Each smart key also has an emergency key inserted in the smart key body.
Before closing the vehicle, make sure the smart key does not remain in the vehicle. The smart key may not be detected if kept inside a metal container, or if shielded by a device with a back-lit LCD screen. For example, a smartphone, laptop, including when inside a bag, or a games console. Also, if the vehicle is in an area of localised RF interference, it may not be detected. If the smart key is not detected inside the vehicle, the vehicle can be locked. The vehicle does not automatically unlock. The vehicle unlocks only with another valid smart key.
When replacing the door lock cover, locate the top securing lugs first. Press down and inward to locate the single bottom lug. The lug clicks into the locked position. Check the security of the cover. An insecure cover is likely to fall off while the vehicle is moving.
