Operating faults
In certain cases, the hands-free card may not work:

If the card is no longer in the passenger compartment or if the card's battery is flat, when the vehicle is stationary and you try to switch the engine off, the "Keycard absent : press/hold START" message appears on the instrument panel: press the button 3 for at least three seconds.

With the engine switched off, any accessories being used (radio, etc.) will continue to function for approximately 10 minutes.
When the driver’s door is opened, the accessories stop working.
