Passive Remote Key Warning

Passive remote key warning

Passive remote key warning
Passive remote key warning alerts the driver that a validated remote key has been removed from the passenger compartment.
If a passive remote key has been validated and used to start the vehicle, the validation only applies until the vehicle is switched off. If the engine is running and a door is opened, the system will scan the passenger compartment for remote keys as soon as all doors are closed. If the remote key that was used to start the vehicle is not detected, a warning message will be displayed in the driver information module (DIM) and an audible signal heard. The system will scan for keys each time a door is opened and all doors are closed again or when the driver presses the READ button. The engine will not be switched off. However, the immobilizer system activates and blocks new start attempts as soon as the start button (IAU) is pressed in to turn off the engine.
