Advanced keyless entry system

WARNING

Radio waves emitted by the key may interfere with the operation of medical equipment, for example

a pacemaker: Before using the key near people who use medical equipment, ask the equipment manufacturer or your doctor whether the radio waves emitted by the transmitter may interfere with the operation of that equipment.

The advanced keyless entry system allows you to lock/unlock the doors and tailgate, or open the tailgate, while carrying the key.

CAUTION

The advanced keyless entry system functions can be turned off to avoid any adverse effect on users of cardiac pacemakers and other medical equipment. If the system is turned off, you will not be able to start the engine when the key is within operating range.
