The Mégane II Owners' Club

Can anyone tell me what the radius is for the card to be away from the car for using the handfree option, i want to know if i go on holiday and stay in the caravan could someone come along and jump in the car and start it if the card is in the caravan.

Should be fine. In the past, I've unloaded the car, including my handbag, put it just a couple of meters away and the keyless ignition wouldn't turn off. The boot is fine too. Just today I wanted to open the boot to put the shopping in. My bag was no more than two metres from the rear bumper and it wouldn't open.

As for ignition, I think I am right in saying that even with the car unlocked, the key has to be within the cabin for it to start.

i had to be within one person distance for the car to open - and for the car to start you need the keycard within the car

If you look in your owner's manual - it shows the sensing area around the car (an orange blob around it). It's not a very big area but if you are inside a caravan, you would have to park the car touching the van to stand any chance of anyone opening/knicking it.
