General information
When purchasing a car, the owner is provided with a set of two keys. Depending on the car's configuration, the keys can be mechanical or electronic.
Keys are an integral part of the car's anti-theft system (see Section 8). They have a built-in microchip/transponder, the code of which is authorized for this car. Starting the engine using another key is not possible.
When placing an order for the production of an additional/recovery of a lost key, you should provide the service station representative with all available keys along with a package of documents for the vehicle. Note: The production of replacement/additional keys is always associated with the need to perform the procedure of recoding the single lock - the documentation must contain complete information on the vehicle's security system (key numbers, code numbers for the electronic engine immobilizer system and infotainment system).
Models with mechanical key
Depending on the design, the key bit can be foldable or fixed (see illustrations 2.1, 2.2). Unfolding the key bit (with the corresponding version of execution) occurs when the lock button is pressed (see illustration 2.1). To fold, press the same button and fold the bit into the head body until you hear a characteristic click. The key is designed to turn on the ignition, start/stop the engine and to unlock/lock the car doors in emergency mode (if the remote control or the single lock is faulty (see below).
The key head has a built-in remote control (RC). The remote control is the main way to control the operation of the single lock, and, if equipped, allows you to control the electric window lifters from outside the car (see Section 8).
Models with an electronic key (Open system&Start)
On models equipped with the Open system&Start, the electronic key is made in the form of a separate key fob, equipped with a built-in remote control (see illustration 2.3).
If the electronic key is recognized by the system as "authorized", then the doors can be unlocked/locked without the help of the remote control (see Section 8), and the engine is started/stopped using a special button on the instrument panel (see Section 21).
