More information
When the driver’s door is opened, the message “Please remove chip card” (“Bitte Chipkarte entfernen”) may appear on the vehicle display accompanied by an audio signal tone.
The chip card is permanently installed in the vehicle and cannot be removed. You only need your tim card to lock and unlock the vehicle.
You can therefore ignore the message.
