The range of a remote control key with PCC

(Personal Car Communicator) for locking,

unlocking the doors and tailgate is approx. 20

metres from the car - the other functions are

up to approx. 100 metres.

If the car does not verify a button being

the car for the information to be read then the

status the car was last left in is shown, with-

out the light in the indicator lamps travelling

around on the remote control key.
If several remote control keys are used for the

car then it is only the one last used for lock-

ing/unlocking that shows the correct status.

If no indicator lamps illuminate when

the information button is used within range

then this may be because the last commu-

contact surfaces with your fingers as this

may impair their function.

Battery replacement

Closely study how the battery/batteries

are secured on the inside of the cover,

with regard to their (+) and (–) sides.

Keyless drive*

Cars equipped with Keyless Drive have a star-

ting and locking system that can be operated

keylessly.

With the keyless starting and locking system

the car can be started, locked and unlocked
without the remote control key (p. 167)

inserted in the ignition switch. It is enough to

have the remote control key with you in a

pocket. The system makes it easier and more

convenient to e.g. open the car when your

hands are full.
Both of the remote control keys included with

the car have Keyless functionality. It is possi-

ble to order more remote control keys.

, a remote control key

must be within approx. 1.5 metres from the

car's door handle or tailgate.

The person who wishes to lock or unlock a

door must have the remote control key with

him or her. It is not possible to lock or unlock

a door if the remote control key is on the

opposite side of the car.

The red rings in the above figure indicate the

range covered by the system's antennas.
If all remote control keys are removed from

the car when the engine is running or key

position I or II (p. 81) is active, and if all doors

are closed, then a warning message is shown

in the information display in the combined

instrument panel and an audio reminder sig-

nal sounds at the same time.

When the remote control key has been

returned to the car, the warning message

goes off and the audible reminder ceases

once either/or:

•

a door has been opened and closed

•

the remote control key has been inserted

in the ignition switch

•

The OK button has been pressed.

•

Keyless drive* - secure handling of

the remote control key

It is important to handle the car's remote con-

trol keys with great care.

If one of the remote control keys

has been

left in the car then the Keyless functionality is

deactivated in case the car is e.g. locked with

the other remote control key that belongs to

the car. This prevents unauthorised entry.
The next time the car is unlocked with the

other remote control key the forgotten remote

control key is reactivated again.

IMPORTANT

Avoid leaving the remote control key with

PCC behind in the car. If someone breaks

into your car and takes the remote control

key, it will e.g. be possible to start the car

by pressing the remote control key in the

ignition switch and then pressing the

START/STOP ENGINE button.
