NOTICE
The remote control vehicle keys contain electrical components. Protect them from damage,
moisture and rough handling.
Do not press the buttons on the remote control vehicle key unless you actually want to use the
function in question. Since terrain and conditions vary, pressing a button on the remote control vehicle
key when it is not necessary may unlock the vehicle or set off the panic alarm, even if you think you
are out of range.
Remote control vehicle key functions can be temporarily disrupted by interference from transmit-
ters near the vehicle that use the same frequency range (such as radio equipment or cellular phones).
Things between the remote control vehicle key and vehicle, bad weather, as well as a weak
battery can reduce the operating range.
If the remote control vehicle key buttons or the power locking buttons are pushed repeatedly in
quick succession, the power locking system is switched off for a brief period to help keep it from being
overloaded. The vehicle is then unlocked for about 30 seconds. Unless a door or the rear hatch is
opened in this span of time, the vehicle is automatically locked afterwards.

from being overloaded. The vehicle is then unlocked for about 30 seconds. Unless a door or the rear
hatch is opened during this time, the vehicle is automatically locked afterwards.

Applicable only in the United States
Unlocking and locking vehicles with Keyless Access

Fig. 26 Ranges of the Keyless Access locking and starting system.

Fig. 27 Keyless Access locking and starting system: Sensor 1 for unlocking on the inside of the front door
handles. Sensor for locking 2 on the outside of the door handles.

All turn signals flash twice to confirm that the vehicle has been unlocked and once to confirm that it
has been locked.
If the vehicle was unlocked and within the next few seconds no door or the rear hatch has been
opened, the vehicle is automatically locked again.
Unlocking and opening doors (Keyless Entry)
x Grasp the door handle of the driver or front passenger door so that you touch the unlocking sensor
surface (1).
x Open the door.
Closing and locking doors (Keyless Exit)
x Close the driver door.
x Touch the sensor surface in the door handle on the driver or front passenger door (2) once. The
vehicle is locked. The door being locked must be closed.
Unlocking and locking the rear hatch
If the vehicle is locked and if a valid vehicle key is within range ⇒ fig. 26 of the rear hatch, it unlocks
automatically when opened.
x Open and close the rear hatch as you would a standard rear hatch
The rear hatch locks automatically when it is closed except in the following situations:
x The vehicle is completely unlocked.
x When an authorized vehicle key is inside the vehicle.
Locking with a second vehicle key
If a remote control vehicle key is inside the passenger compartment, the vehicle can be locked from
the outside only if a second valid vehicle key is within range.
When the vehicle is locked from the outside, the keyless go (starting) function of any keys left in the
passenger compartment will be deactivated. All other functions (remote central locking and unlocking
as well as emergency starting) remain active and unchanged.
A key that was inside the vehicle when it was locked from the outside is reactivated:
x by pressing a button on the deactivated key.
x by pressing a door handle sensor when the deactivated key is outside of the vehicle, but within
range.
x by starting the engine with the starter button on the center console.
Automatic deactivation of sensors
If the vehicle has not been unlocked or locked for a longer period of time, the proximity sensors in the
passenger door are automatically deactivated.
If a sensor on the door handle of a locked vehicle is activated too often, for instance by a bush or
hedge that rubs against the vehicle, the sensors in the door handle on that side of the vehicle are
switched off for about 30 minutes.
The door handle sensors become active again if one of the following events occurs:
x 30 minutes have passed.
x OR: The vehicle is unlocked using the 0 button in the remote control vehicle key.
x OR: The rear hatch is opened.
x OR: The vehicle is mechanically unlocked with the vehicle key.
Convenience features
To use the convenience closing feature to close all power windows, hold your finger on the lock sensor
surface ⇒ fig. 27 on the outside of the door handle for a few seconds until the windows close.
