When it is dark, the surround lighting also
comes on if it is activated in COMAND.
If you do not open either a door or the boot
lid after you have unlocked the vehicle, it will automatically relock after approximately 40
seconds.
KEYLESS GO* You can start, lock or unlock the vehicle using
KEYLESS GO. To do this, you only need carry
the key with you. 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 to the vehicle's door handle
from which you wish to lock or unlock the
vehicle must not be greater than 1 m.
When starting the engine and whilst driving,
KEYLESS GO also checks whether a valid key
is in the vehicle by periodically establishing
radio contact. X

dle.

vate the sensors. 178

Points to remember
G
Risk of injury
The seats can still be adjusted when there is
no key in the ignition lock. For this reason,
children should never be left unsupervised in
the vehicle. They could become trapped when
adjusting a seat. G
Risk of accident
Only adjust the driver's seat when the vehicle
is stationary. You will otherwise be distracted from the road and traffic conditions and you
could lose control of the vehicle as a result of
the seat moving. This could cause an acci-
dent. G
Risk of injury
Make sure that nobody can become trapped
when you adjust the seat.
Observe the notes concerning the airbag sys-
tem.
Secure children as recommended; see "Chil-
dren in the vehicle" section. G
Risk of injury
Make sure that the central area of the head
restraint supports the back of your head at
about eye level. You could seriously injure
your neck if your head is not correctly sup-
ported by the head restraint in the event of an
accident. Never travel without a correctly
adjusted and engaged head restraint.
! When you move the seats, make sure that
there are no objects in the footwell or
behind the seats. Otherwise, you could
damage the seats and the objects.

Risk of injury
When adjusting a front-passenger seat that is
occupied, make sure that it is as far away from
the front-passenger airbag as possible. The
front passenger could otherwise sustain seri-
ous or fatal injuries in the event of an accident
or braking manoeuvre.
Make sure that nobody can become trapped
when adjusting the seat.
The front-passenger seat can be adjusted
when there is no key in the ignition lock. For
this reason, children should never be left
unsupervised in the vehicle. They could
become trapped if the seats move.

side to adjust the front-passenger seat. 184
