Question: what happens if I exited the car with the smart key while the engine is still on, to go get something from home, and someone decides to hijack the car? What will happen to the car? How far can the theif drive without the key in the car?
How far away can the car be from the smart key before it shuts down completely?
My bro drove about 15 meters away from my key and scared to go further dunno what will happen to the car, just to test.
And I left the engines running while I did some car jockey thing (repositioning cars) at home, (key was in my pocket and I was within about 20 meters from the car), came back and engines were still on, nothing happened.
I wanted to test this but didn't dare to coz scared the engine will suddenly shut down and damage the car. (which it's supposed to, in the case of theft)
Do enlighten me since I'm new to this smart key thing.
Let me give you the concept of keyless entry (it works the same across all the cars)How far away can the car be from the smart key before it shuts down completely?

So if you exit the car and the smart key is not there , the car will just keep beeping that no key found - but you can go happily drive it out or bring it (in other words you can hijack - you can drive all the way up north to Thailand or down to Singapore - provided if you did not shut the engine off. If you did , it needs the key again to start)
Don't worry , it does not shut off , it will continue to run
