General information
When a valid vehicle key comes within range ⇒ fig. 24, the Keyless Access locking and starting sys-tem recognizes a valid vehicle entry request as soon as a door handle sensor is touched on the driver or front passenger door, or the button on the luggage compartment lid is pressed. The following func-tions are then enabled without active use of the remote control vehicle key:
x Keyless Entry: Unlocking the vehicle with the sensor surfaces on the door handles of the driver or
front passenger door ⇒ fig. 25 (A) or by using the button on the luggage compartment lid.
x Keyless Go: Start the engine and drive. For this, you just have to press the starter button and a valid remote control vehicle key must be inside the vehicle, Starting and stopping the engine.
x Keyless Exit: Locking the vehicle via the door handle sensor on the driver or front passenger door (B).
The power locks and the closing system work like the standard unlocking and locking system. Only the way that the systems are operated is different.
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 neither a door nor the luggage compart-ment lid 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 (A).
x Open the door.
Closing and locking doors (Keyless Exit)
x Switch the ignition off.
x Close the driver door.
x Touch the sensor surface in the door handle on the driver or front passenger door (B). The vehicle is locked. The door being locked must be closed.
Unlocking and locking the luggage compartment lid
If the vehicle is locked and a valid remote control vehicle key is within range ⇒ fig. 24 of the luggage compartment lid, it unlocks automatically when opened.
Open and close the luggage compartment lid as you would a standard luggage compartment lid, Luggage compartment lid.
The luggage compartment lid locks automatically when it is closed except in the following situations:
x The vehicle is completely unlocked.
x When an authorized remote control 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 remote control 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, Starting and stopping the engine. A key that was inside the vehicle when it was locked from the outside is reactivated by pressing the 0 button on the deac-
tivated key ⇒ fig. 21.
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.
