Applies to: vehicles with convenience key
The doors and the boot lid can be locked and unlocked without handling the remote control key.
- Fig. 20 Door handle: Sensor for locking the vehicle
Unlocking the vehicle
Take hold of the driver s/front passenger s door handle. The door will be unlocked automatically.
To open the door, pull the door handle.
The vehicle can be locked/unlocked from the front doors only. The remote control key should be within a range of about 1.5 metres from the door handle. It does not matter where you carry the key, for instance whether it is in your jacket pocket or in a handbag or briefcase.
The locking function may be affected if you grasp the door handle while the vehicle is being locked.
Once the doors have been locked, they cannot be opened again immediately. This will enable you to check that the driver s door is properly closed.
The system will unlock either all the doors or only one of the doors, depending on the settings you have chosen on the infotainment system link►.
- Read and follow all the warnings ►.
- (Applies to vehicles with anti-theft alarm system: ) Do not leave anyone (especially children) in the car if it is locked from the outside and the safelock mechanism* is activated: the doors and windows cannot then be opened from the inside link►. Locked doors could delay assistance in an emergency, potentially putting lives at risk.
Note
Please note the following points if the vehicle is left parked for long periods:
- To save electrical power, the proximity sensors are switched off after a few days. You will then need to pull the door handle once to unlock the vehicle, and a second time to open it.
- To prevent the vehicle battery from becoming discharged and thus maintain the vehicle s starting ability for as long as possible, the power management system will gradually switch off convenience functions that are not required. In this case you may not be able to unlock the vehicle with this convenience function.
Note
You can temporarily deactivate the function for unlocking the vehicle with the convenience key (keyless entry).
- (Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox:) Move the selector lever to position P; otherwise it will not be possible to lock the vehicle.
- Close the door and press the
button -1- Fig. ►.
- Touch the sensor on the door handle once within the next 5 seconds Fig. 20►, ►. Do not take hold of the door handle while doing so.
- The vehicle can be unlocked the next time only by using the remote control key or by turning the key in the lock. The convenience key is reactivated when the vehicle is locked/unlocked the following time.
