Component Description

Passive key (radio remote control with integrated emergency key)

Passive anti-theft system transceiver (emergency starting function)

If the keyless vehicle system is unable to recognise the passive key, the vehicle can be started via the emergency starting function.

To this end, there is a holder for the transceiver of the passive anti-theft system on the steering column beneath a cover.

To start the engine, the emergency key must be held against the cover of the transceiver and the start/stop button pressed.

Alternatively, the emergency key can be inserted in the holder after removal of the cover and the start/stop button pressed. In both cases, the information is read out from the PATS transponder of the emergency key.
