Automatic vehicle unlock
The vehicle can be unlocked and locked via
the front doors only. When doing so, the re-
mote control key must be no further than
approx. 1.5 m away from the door handle.
It does not matter where you carry the key,
e.g. in your jacket pocket.
Once the doors have been locked, they can-
not be opened again immediately. This will
enable you to check that the doors are prop-
erly closed.
If you wish you may unlock only the corre-
sponding door or the entire vehicle. The
necessary adjustments can be performed in
vehicles with a driver information system
