If a remote control vehicle key is inside the passenger compartment, the vehicle can be locked from the outside only if a second valid 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 front 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 30 minutes.
The sensors become active again when the vehicle is locked with the vehicle key and the ignition is switched on one time.
The 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.

Convenience features
To use the convenience closing feature to close all power windows, hold your finger on the lock sensor surface (2) on the outside of the door handle for a few seconds until the windows close.
Remove your finger from the lock sensor surface (2) to stop the function. If you touch the unlock sensor surface 1 on the inside of the door handle immediately after releasing the lock sensor surface 1 (arrow), all of the windows will open (safety function). Pinch protection is active during convenience closing of the windows.

If the luggage compartment lid does not open, wait a few seconds and try again.
The high-mounted brake light and the turn signals flash once to show that the Easy Open feature is opening the rear hatch.
The rear hatch locks automatically after closing if the vehicle was locked before and a valid vehicle key is not inside the vehicle.
Easy Open may not work properly or at all in the following situations (examples):
x If the rear bumper is very dirty.
x If the rear bumper has salty water on it after driving on salted roads.
x If a trailer hitch has been retrofit on the vehicle.
Easy Open may be automatically deactivated in heavy rain to help prevent unintentional deployment caused by water running down the vehicle, for example.
CAUTION
If a valid vehicle key is within range of the rear hatch, the Easy Open feature can deploy unintentionally in some cases and open the rear hatch: for example, when sweeping the ground or floor below the rear bumper, if there is a strong stream of water or steam or when carrying out maintenance or repairs around the rear bumper. If the rear hatch opens unintentionally, it can injure anyone or damage anything in its way.
x Never leave a valid vehicle key within range of the rear hatch unattended.
Anti-theft alarm system

Deactivating the alarm
Unlock the vehicle with the unlock button on the remote control vehicle key and switch on the ignition with a valid remote control vehicle key.
For vehicles with Keyless Access, the alarm can be deactivated by grasping one of the door handles when a valid vehicle key is in range or by holding the remote control vehicle key to the right of the
steering column trim and pressing the starter button ⇒ Unlocking or locking vehicles with Keyless Access.
After the alarm has stopped and the vehicle is opened again in the same or a different area that is protected by the alarm, the alarm is triggered again. For example, the alarm will sound again if the rear hatch is opened after one of the doors has been opened.
The anti-theft alarm system is not activated when the vehicle is locked with the power lock switch 1 on the inside of the driver or front passenger doors.
If the driver door is mechanically unlocked with the emergency key, only the driver door is unlocked, but not the entire vehicle. Switching on the ignition deactivates the anti-theft alarm system and activates the central locking button. To unlock the doors, use the central locking button or remote control vehicle key.
If the vehicle battery is dead or weak, the anti-theft alarm system will not work properly.

Depending on vehicle options, a symbol may be displayed in the instrument cluster instead of the warning light. The symbol will still be displayed even after the ignition is switched off. The Premium instrument cluster display goes out about 15 seconds after the vehicle has been locked.
