The intelligent key is only required to start the vehicle.
If you get out of the car and shut the door it will give you a series of beeps to alert you, but as long as the ignition is on it can be driven.

I drove many many miles without mine in the car... my wife was in the car with her keys when i started it.. we drove to pick up her car, she got out, took her pocketbook got in her car and we both drove home probably 20 miles without a key, and i beat her home by 10 minutes so I was at least a mile from her... about half way home i realized i didnt have my key.... and do you really think that little fob has a range of a mile... no way!

Don't worry OP, I've done it too but luckily I heard the crazy beeps lol.
And for the people who cannot understand what the hell is going on in this thread, please reread the original post and think about it. It shouldn't take you more than 2 minutes to figure out what OP is saying. If not... well, I don't know what to tell you. lol.

If it takes you longer than two minutes to figure this out then you should not have an "Intelligent" anything!

OK.....Final Word
Once the car is started with the FOB key inside, the car can be driven any distance without the FOB inside the car provided that the engine is never shut off. The engine WILL NOT shut down automatically because of distance away from the FOB.
Any stories contrary to this are hogwash and folklore.
