A METHOD FOR OPERATING A VEHICLE

A method for operating a vehicle, where one or more key devices are associated with the vehicle. The one or more associated key devices are adapted for allowing a user of the vehicle to initiate a vehicle starting operation. The method comprises the steps: initiating a vehicle shut-off sequence after initiation of the vehicle starting operation, where the vehicle shut-off sequence is initiated upon receipt of a shut-off request, where the vehicle shut-off sequence comprises a searching operation for detecting associated key devices within a boundary of the vehicle; and controlling the vehicle to entering a conditional operation mode when detecting that no associated key devices are within the boundary, wherein the conditional operation mode is authorizing a pre-determined vehicle activity preventing a non-operational state of the vehicle.
