Key reading locations

There are some key interaction points where your vehicle can detect your keys to let you lock, unlock or drive it.

Interaction points for keys

  1. 1Your distance-capable keys can lock and unlock the vehicle automatically from a short distance away.
  2. 2Keys that are not distance-capable need to be placed on the driver door handle to unlock the vehicle.
  3. 3Key cards or discharged keys can be placed on the key reader below the center display to start the vehicle.

Distance-capable keys

Digital keys and charged key tags are distance-capable, meaning your vehicle can detect them when you approach or leave it. This allows for automatic locking and unlocking.

Go to settings to select your preferences and to turn automatic locking and unlocking on or off.

Note

NFC functionality

Your distance-capable keys also have NFC[1] functionality. This means that even if a distance-capable key has a low or discharged battery, you can still use it in the same way as a key card.

Exterior key reader

You can lock and unlock the vehicle by placing any type of key on the key reading sensor. It's on the side of the driver's door handle which is closest to the front of the vehicle.

Make sure the card or device is laid flat against the reader. If you're using a key tag, the logo should be facing towards you.

Interior key reader

You can place your key card or a discharged key tag on the key reader below the center display to get driving access.

The key reader below the center display is also the wireless charger.

Note

The key reader and wireless charger are located in the same place. You can only use one of the functions at a time.
