Emergency start function
If an authorized remote control vehicle key is in the passenger compartment but
the instrument cluster displays Key not in Range when you push the starter button,
the remote control vehicle key battery is weak or dead. You can still start the
engine using the Emergency start feature:
- Make sure the selector lever is in the Park (P) position.

column trim immediately after pressing the starter button ⇒ Fig. 129 .

If the engine does not switch off by briefly pressing the starter button, emergency
shutoff is necessary:
- Press the starter button twice within 1 second or once for more than 2 seconds
⇒
⇒ Stopping the engine .
- The engine switches off automatically.
Engine restart function
If no authorized remote control vehicle key is identified in the passenger compartment
after the engine has been switched off, the engine can be restarted within about
5 seconds. A related message is shown in the display of the instrument cluster.
After the 5 seconds have passed, the engine can no longer be started without
an authorized vehicle key in the passenger compartment.

Warning
Improper use of vehicle keys can result in serious personal injury.
- Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle. Children or unauthorized
persons may use it to lock the vehicle, start the engine, and operate vehicle
systems such as the power windows, leading to serious personal injury.
- Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who cannot help themselves
in the vehicle. The doors can be locked using the remote control vehicle key.
This could result in people being trapped in the vehicle in an emergency. For
example, depending on the time of year, people trapped in the vehicle can be
exposed to very high or very low temperatures.
- Heat buildup in the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked vehicle
can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much higher than the outside
temperatures, particularly in summer. Temperatures can quickly reach levels
that can cause unconsciousness and death, particularly to small children.

If the ignition is switched on or the engine is
running and the driver door is opened, a chime sounds. The chime is also a reminder
to switch off the engine and turn off the ignition before leaving and locking the
vehicle from the outside.
