Avoid storing the remote control key close  
to metal objects or electronic apparatus,

(p. 126)  
A remote control key or key tag left in  
the car will be deactivated when the  
car is locked and the alarm is armed  
using another valid key. The "Double  
lock" function is also deactivated. The  
key left behind is reactivated when the  
car is unlocked.  
If there is still interference - use the remote  
control key's detachable key blade to unlock  
and then place the key in the backup reader in  
the storage compartment to disarm the car  
and allow the car to be started.  
Button-less key (Key Tag)*  
The key tag provided with the keyless locking  
and unlocking function works in the same way  
as the standard remote control key as regards  
keyless starting and locking and unlocking.  
The key is waterproof to a depth of approx. 10  
metres (30 feet) for up to 60 minutes. It has  
no detachable key blade and the battery can-  
not be replaced.  
When the remote control key is positioned  
in the backup reader in the storage com-  
partment, make sure that there are no car  
keys, metal objects or electronic apparatus  
nearby (e.g. mobile phones, tablets, lap-  
tops or chargers). Several car keys close to  
one another in the storage compartment  
may cause interference with each other.  
Interference  
Remote control key functions for keyless star-  
ting and keyless locking and unlocking* can be  
disrupted by electromagnetic fields and  
screening.
