Reply With QuoteThe key must have been within the proximity zone of the numerous key antennas inside the vehicle when it was started for it to start. You can then take the key away and continue driving but yeah, when you turn it off you’re screwed.

SubscriberSWMBO took the D4 to town this morning.
Half way there, she rang and told me that here was a red triangle on the dash that wouldn't turn off ... but NO warning message.
Not knowing what the fault was .. I told her that it may go into 'reduced performance mode' but it should be ok until she got back home.
Got another call from her a little later saying that she was parked in town and couldn't lock the doors because she had no key.
As it turned out, I had the key in my pocket when I said goodbye to her in the driveway .... so the car started without issue.
I'm surprised that there was NO message on the message centre saying ... KEY NOT PRESENT!!
So, it looks like it's possible to drive off without a key and 'strand' yourself until someone brings you the key.
It's a good thing I kept the D2!!

Mine brought a message up on the dash,as well,but I can’t remember what it was,possibly something about smart key.
Only happened if vehicle was running and key fob was moved out of range,or vehicle was stopped and start button pushed,but key was out of range.
Major part of the heart and soul of AULRO.comHow do you turn off a push button start vehicle?

SubscriberMy MY14 does come up with a message saying the key is out of range while the engine is running. The message does clear from the screen after a while. Not sure if you go into the dash menu if it still shows the message in the ‘warnings’ section.

SubscriberMy dealer told me about the missing key issue when I picked up the car, especially when you're at an airport!
But more importantly, what was the Red triangle issue about

SubscriberThe red triangle comes up to warn you the key is not found within the vehicle, along with the message.

SubscriberAh Ok, the red triangle hasn't shown on mine when I've left the car for a while, hence I thought it was another problem.

My beloved has one key - her responsibility - and I have another, and never the twain shall meet, but also with a not advertised 3rd one hidden away, just in caseSWMBO took the D4 to town this morning.
