ISSUE

After programming (13MY only) Keyless Vehicle Module (KVM) using SDD DVD136 Patch 2, it will be noticed that the Passive Entry System operates only when the key is held close to the door handle, typically within a range of 10 centimetres. This is a default mode as a result of the software download.

In addition the smart key range within the vehicle may also be reduced and the 'Smart Key Not Found' message may appear on the Instrument Cluster. If this is the case, it will be necessary to follow the keyless start back up strategy with reference to the owner's handbook
