"Ignition Key" (Remote Controls): Notes

The "keys" are the component that represents the access and driving authorization for the vehicle.

All keys (with the exception of the key integrated in the remote control) contain the transponder for EWS.

The delivery specification of the vehicle are:

• 2 coded remote controls with integrated mechanical key.
• A reserve key (also individually coded) with an adapter for the ZAS (ignition lock).
  NOTE: Since no ignition switch in the ordinary sense is installed, the term vehicle keys is also no longer used, but instead "remote controls")
