The optional equipment supplied with your
vehicle includes two KEYLESS GO keys. You
can start, lock or unlock the vehicle using the
KEYLESS GO key. To do this, you need only
carry the KEYLESS GO key on your person.
When you touch the surface of the sensors on
the vehicle's door handles, KEYLESS GO
establishes a radio connection between the
vehicle and the key. The distance between
the KEYLESS GO key and the vehicle's door
handle from which you wish to lock or unlock
the vehicle, must not be greater than 1 m.
When you pull the door handle, the following
unlock centrally if the factory settings have
not been changed:
R the doors
R the tailgate
R the fuel filler flap
If you pull on the handle of the tailgate, only
the tailgate of your vehicle is unlocked.
When starting the engine and whilst driving,
KEYLESS GO also checks whether a valid
KEYLESS GO key is in the vehicle by periodi-
cally establishing radio contact. G
Risk of accident
If children are left unsupervised in the vehi-
cle, they could open a door from the inside,
even if it has been locked. Or they could
start the vehicle if a valid KEYLESS GO key
is in the vehicle and they press the KEY-
LESS GO button on the ignition lock. They
could endanger themselves and others.
Never leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle. Switch off the engine and take the
KEYLESS GO key with you, even if you are
only leaving the vehicle for a short time. 1
