Applies to: vehicles with convenience key
The doors and the boot lid can be locked and unlocked without handling the remote control key.
- Fig. 22 Door handle: Locking the vehicle
Unlocking the vehicle
Take hold of the door handle. The door will be unlocked automatically.
To open the door, pull the door handle.
The vehicle can be locked and unlocked from any of the doors. 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 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 doors are 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►.
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 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 deactivate the function for unlocking the vehicle with the convenience key (keyless entry) on the infotainment system link►.
