I lucked out and got a package #6 without waiting. So I never researched the Smart Entry & Start option until I started using it. From the manual it seems that the Key only needs to be within 5m of the car for the car for the doors to open automatically and (I think) if the key is close enough to the car you can start the car by simply pressing the power button. This works in my car, I don't have to take the key out of my pocket to open and start the car.
However, I do have one paranoid security question. What stops some unscrupulous person from jumping into my car and starting it and driving off while I am walking near the car? I know I can disable the Smart Start system from the switch under the steering wheel. If I choose to leave smart start on, is this far fetched scenario possible?
