How to use it

Step by step.

  1. 01

    Follow the vehicle and compatible device prompts to create the owner's primary digital key in the device wallet.

  2. 02

    With a UWB-capable device, carry it for approach/leave operation or use the door-handle touch point; bring it inside for driving access.

  3. 03

    Without UWB, open the key in the wallet, hold the device to the left side of the driver handle and then place it on the reader between the front seats to drive.

  4. 04

    To share access, open the primary key in the wallet app and use its digital-key sharing option.

If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If passive entry does not work, confirm UWB and passive entry are enabled or use the device as an NFC key card.
  • ✓If the sharing option is absent, open the wallet through its app icon and verify the recipient device is compatible.
