    hi all,

    My smartkey unlocks the doors from far away if I use the buttons, but now I have to insert the key to start the car, and the handle-unlock function doesn't work when I touch the handle...I just changed the battery in the remote, so it's not that!

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Sally

    Did you check the smart key disable button under the steering column?

    Never mind that question......couldn't have been more obvious. I had never noticed that button! Thanks for the advice!
