USE DIGITAL KEY TO ACCESS AND START YOUR VEHICLE WITH YOUR PHONE

1. Open the vehicle mobile app. 
2. Tap the “Add key to device Wallet” tile on your home screen.
   - If the home tile isn’t visible, tap the More* icon (four circles) to access Vehicle Settings, then tap “Keys” and select “Add key.”

* On some vehicles, you must tap the Settings icon (a gear) to access Vehicle Settings. 
 

1. Ensure your vehicle is on and in Park and has all the doors closed.
2. Follow the prompts to continue pairing your phone with the vehicle.
3. Once successful, your digital key will appear in your Apple Wallet, Google Wallet^TM* or Samsung Wallet.
4. Test digital key by locking, unlocking and starting the vehicle using your phone or Apple watch. Before testing, make sure the key fob isn’t in range.

Now you’re ready to use digital key as a key fob for these functions and more:
 

• Keyless Access: Use the button on the exterior door handle to unlock the driver’s door (when your phone is within 2 m or 6 ft.). Or go to Settings to have all doors unlock when you press this button with your phone in range.
• Passive Entry: Your vehicle unlocks automatically when your phone is within range. You can also press the exterior button to unlock and open the liftgate.
• Start: With your phone in the cabin, press the brake pedal and the Power button.
  - For vehicles with Hands-Free Start, press the brake pedal.
• Passive Locking: The vehicle locks seconds after your phone leaves the area.
• Hands-Free Power Liftgate operation: In vehicles equipped with a kick-sensor radar, open and close your liftgate hands-free (when your phone is within range).
   

Use the icons on your phone’s screen to perform these functions remotely:*

- Start: Tap Climate (also preconditions the cabin).

- Lock/Unlock: Tap Lock or Unlock.

- Frunk (if equipped): Opens the eTrunk^TM and Power Hood in equipped vehicles.

- Trunk: Tap to open the liftgate. 

If these icons are grayed out, check your Bluetooth connection and make sure you’re within 30 m or 100 ft. of the vehicle.
