tions:

>Opening luggage compartment lid sepa-
rately

can only be locked if the vehicle detects that
the remote control you are carrying is out-
side the vehicle.

possible until after approx. 2 seconds.
>The engine can only be started if the vehicle
detects that the remote control is located in
the vehicle.
