Smart Entry and Push Button Start (Special Edition and above)

What’s the Benefit?

The Smart Entry system makes it exceptionally easy and convenient to unlock, drive and relock the CR-V.

The Feature:

CR-V Special Edition and above models use a Smart Entry system with push button start.

• The Smart Entry system allows the driver to:
  
  • Walk up to the vehicle, touch the door handle and open the door
  • Start the engine and shut it off at the end of the trip
  • Get out and touch the LOCK sensor on the door handle to secure the car—all without ever touching a key 
• Likewise, the driver can open the tailgate with just a touch of the release button located above the license plate—it only requires that the driver possess the key fob.
• And the Walk Away Auto Lock^® feature, when enabled, can even eliminate the step of touching the LOCK sensor on the door handle.
• To enable Walk Away Auto Lock from the Display Audio home screen, touch Settings, next Vehicle and then Door/Window Setup; select Walk Away Auto Lock, and then choose ON.

Important Note: The door-handle LOCK button on previous models has been changed to a sensor on the CR-V. To activate it, users must touch the ridged area on top of the door handle.
