Digital key

The digital key allows you to lock, unlock and start your vehicle using a compatible phone or smart watch.
Digital key

Once you've set up a digital key on your device, it works in the same way as your other keys.​ If your device has UWB1 capability, your vehicle will be able to detect the digital key from a distance. If your device doesn't have UWB capability, the digital key works as a key card.

The vehicle's owner can create one primary digital key. Once the primary key has been created, you can share digital keys with family and friends.

 Note

Compatible devices

The digital key for your vehicle is currently available for certain Apple iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel models. Check with your device manufacturer if you're unsure about the compatibility of your device. Many manufacturers have information about compatibility and UWB capability on their website.

Using the digital key on a device with UWB

When you set up a digital key on a device with UWB capability, you can lock or unlock the vehicle by:
  • using the approach and leave feature for automatic unlocking and locking
  • touching the underside of the door handle
  • using your device as a key card
  • using the lock and unlock button in your device's wallet app.

To get driving access, you just need to bring your device with you inside the vehicle or place it on the key reader between the front seats. The key reader is located in the same place as the wireless charger.

 Tip

Disable passive entry in wallet app

Many wallet apps have a setting that lets you disable passive entry. When this feature is disabled, your vehicle won't unlock automatically when you get close to it while carrying a digital key. The approach unlock feature will still be available when you use your other distance-capable keys.

Using the digital key on a device without UWB

If your device doesn't have UWB capability, your digital key works as a key card. To unlock the vehicle, open your key in the wallet app and place the device on the left-hand side of the driver's door handle. To start the vehicle, put the device on the key reader between the front seats.

Sharing the digital key

Once you’ve set up a primary digital key, you can share it with family and friends. Open the digital key in your phone's wallet app to find the sharing option.

 Note

The option to share your digital key may not be available in all wallet views. Make sure to open the wallet app via the app icon.

 Tip

No battery

You may still be able to use your digital key as a key card even if your device has run out of battery. Contact the device manufacturer for more information.
