One-time deactivation of automatic locking:
1. Press and hold the button for more than
2 seconds with the door open.
Automatic locking will not be available until
the next time the vehicle is intentionally
locked.
The vehicle is only locked if all doors and
the rear lid are closed. If this option has
been activated in the vehicle settings, an
audible warning may be heard to indicate
that a door is open.
In vehicles tted with the “Safe” security sys-
tem, when the vehicle is locked when walking
away from the vehicle, it is locked without the
“Safe”function. This is indicated to the user by
an audible signal. The vehicle’s “Safe” system is
only activated after intentionally locking using
the door handle or contact key.
If the key is in the detection zone around the
vehicle for a prolonged period of time, the op-
tions for locking when you walk away from the
vehicle and unlocking when you approach it
may work in a limited manner.
Note
If the vehicle is parked for a prolonged period
of time without being used, it can only be
unlocked via the sensor surface inside the in-
terior of the driver's door handle or with the
contact key.
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.74. 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, 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 Ac-
cess are active, the vehicle remains unlocked
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:
●
Move the gear lever to position P since oth-
erwise the vehicle cannot be locked.
●
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.75
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
