Unlocking the vehicle on approach
The vehicle can be unlocked by approaching it.
For this to work, the function must be activated
in the infotainment system and the vehicle key
must be in the vehicle's approach area.
●
The vehicle is unlocked when the vehicle key
is detected nearby ›››Fig.71. All turn signals
ash twice.
If the vehicle is not unlocked for an exten-
ded period of time, the “Unlock vehicle when
approaching it” function is deactivated. This
function reactivates when the vehicle is locked
again.
When activating the unlocking function for
certain doors in the central locking settings in
the infotainment system, it is possible that the
“Unlock vehicle when approaching” function
will only work to a limited extent.
Unlocking the rear lid
When the vehicle is locked and the “Keyless
Access” function is active, the rear lid auto-
matically unlocks when it is opened if there is
a vehicle key in its proximity zone. The rear lid
locks again after closing.
If the central locking of all doors and the un-
lock when approaching function in “Keyless
Access” are active, the vehicle remains un-
locked after the rear lid is closed. The vehicle
does not lock automatically
Temporarily deactivating the Keyless Access
system
The “Keyless Access” system’s unlocking func-
tion can be temporarily deactivated:
●
Lock the vehicle using the button on the
vehicle key.
●
Within 5 seconds, touch the sensor on the
outside of the door handle once ›››Fig.72
B
. Do not grip the handle while doing so. This
temporarily deactivates the Keyless Access sys-
tem.
●
Check that it is deactivated by pulling on the
door handle after at least 10 seconds. It should
not be possible to open the door.
The next time, the vehicle can only be un-
locked electronically with the vehicle key. After
being unlocked the next time, the Keyless Ac-
cess system will be activated again ›››
.
Permanently disabling the Keyless Access
system
The Keyless Access system can also be perma-
nently deactivated in the infotainment system
››› .
NOTICE
Deactivating the Keyless Access system also
deactivates the sensor controlled opening
and closing of the rear lid, although the func-
tion is shown as “active” in the vehicle menu.
