To switch between the card user modes, use the “Access” menu from the trip computer or, depending on the vehicle, from the multimedia screen. The default mode is Secure mode.

Depending on the vehicle, you may have a digital key that offers all the functions of the card.

However, if a card has been left inside the vehicle and the doors have been locked with a digital key, all of the card’s functions will be inhibited.

The card is used for:

- locking/unlocking the opening elements (doors and luggage compartment) and the fuel filler flap (refer to the following pages);

- switching on the vehicle lighting remotely (refer to the following pages).

card operating range

This varies according to the environment: take care not to accidentally lock or unlock the vehicle by inadvertently pressing the buttons on the card.

Note: if a door or the boot is open or not properly shut, locking is not carried out. A beep sounds and the hazard warning lights and side repeaters do not flash.

Interference

Interference by factors in the immediate vicinity (external installations or the use of equipment operating on the same frequency as the card) may disrupt its operation.

Battery life

Make sure that the correct battery type is being used, and that the battery is in good condition and inserted correctly. Its service life is approximately two years: it should be replaced when the message “Keycard Battery Low” appears on the instrument panel “HANDS-FREE” CARD: battery.

Advice

Avoid leaving the card in hot, cold or humid areas.

Keep the card with you.

Do not keep the card in a place where it could be bent or damaged accidentally, such as in a back pocket of a garment.

When the battery is flat, you can still lock/unlock and start your vehicle. LOCKING, UNLOCKING THE DOORS STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE: vehicle with card.

Distance lighting function

Press button 4 once to switch on the exterior lighting for approximately 20 seconds. This can be used, for example, to identify the vehicle from a distance when parked in a car park.

Pressing and holding the 4 button for approximately two seconds activates the exterior lighting and a sound is emitted.

Note: pressing button 4 again switches off the lighting.

Replacement: need for an additional card

If you lose your card or require another, you can obtain one from an authorised dealer.

If a card is replaced, it will be necessary to take the vehicle and all its cards to an approved Dealer to initialise the system.

You may use up to four cards per vehicle.

Driver’s responsibility when parking or stopping the vehicle

They may pose a risk to themselves or to others by starting the engine, activating equipment such as the electric windows or locking the doors.

Also, in hot and/or sunny weather, please remember that the temperature inside the passenger compartment increases very quickly.
