Remote Key Warning

Remote key warning alerts the driver, by means of a text message and an audible acknowledgment signal, not to leave the remote key in the vehicle.

The central electronic module (CEM) receives an indication from a contact breaker in the lock unit that the driver's door is open. The contact breaker is directly connected to the central electronic module (CEM). If a remote key is in the starter module when the driver's door is opened and the engine is switched of the central electronic module (CEM) transmits a message via the controller area network (CAN) to the driver information module (DIM). The driver information module (DIM) then activates an audible acknowledgment signal and shows a warning message in the text display.
