Unlocking and locking 86
xThe doors can be opened and unlocked individually from the inside by
pulling the inside door handle. If necessary, pull the door release lever twice.
xThe driver's door cannot be locked when it is still open. This avoids
locking the vehicle key inside the vehicle when there is nobody inside.
Locking and unlocking the vehicle with KESSY*
KESSY is a locking and unlocking system that can be used to lock and unlock
the vehicle without actively using the key. To do this, a valid vehicle key only
has to be in the vehicle approach zone Ÿ.
Important
When there is a valid vehicle key in the approach zone ( Ÿfig. 49) of a door
or the tailgate, the KESSY locking and unlocking system detects a request to
enter the vehicle. The system checks the access rights and allows the
following functions without active use of the key:
x"Keyless-Entry": Unlocks the handles of the four doors and the tailgate
release button.
x"Keyless-Go": Starts the engine for driving. To do this, a valid vehicle key
only has to be inside the vehicle.
x"Keyless-Exit": locks the vehicle using the driver's side or passenger-side
door handle.
The central locking and locking systems operate in the same way with the
actual locking and unlocking system. Only the controls change.
