Opening and closing
If the vehicle is not unlocked for an extended
period, the function is deactiv
at
ed.
The v
ehicle can be unlocked and locked via
the front doors only. When doing so, the re-
mote control key must be no further than ap-
prox. 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 nec-
essary adjustments can be performed in ve-
hicles with a driver information system

General information
If a valid key is in the proximity of the car
›››
Fig. 76, the Keyless Access locking and
starting system gives the key entry as soon as
one of the sensor surfaces on the front door
handles is touched.
The following features are then available
without having to use the vehicle key actively:
●
Keyless Entry: unlocking the vehicle using
the handles of the front doors or the soft-
touch/handle on the rear lid.
●
Keyless Exit: locking the vehicle using the
sensor of the driver or passenger door han-
dle.
●
Press & Drive: keyless starting of the engine
with the starter button
›››
page 199.
The central locking and locking systems op-
erate in the same way as a normal locking
and unlocking system. Only the controls
change.
Unlocking the vehicle is confirmed with a
double flash of the indicator lights; locking by
a single flash.
If the vehicle is locked and then all doors and
the rear lid are closed leaving the last key
used inside the vehicle and none outside, the
vehicle will not lock immediately. All the ve-
hicle's indicator lights will flash four times.
The vehicle will lock after a few seconds if
you do not open any door or the rear lid.
The vehicle will lock again after a few sec-
onds if you unlock the vehicle but fail to open
any door or boot hatch.
