on the convenience key and touch the sensor on the door handle (driver’s door) once within five seconds Fig. 19►. Do not take hold of the door handle when doing so, otherwise the vehicle will not be locked.
To check if the function has been deactivated, wait at least ten seconds and then pull the door handle. It should not be possible to open the door.
The vehicle can be unlocked the next time only by remote control or by turning the key in the lock. Keyless entry is reactivated the following time the vehicle is locked/unlocked.
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 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 via sensor.
