Unlocking or locking using the sensors
Applies to: vehicles with convenience key
> To unlock a door or the luggage compartment
lid, grasp the door handle or luggage compart-
ment lid handle.
> To lock the vehicle, close the doors and touch
the outer sensor on the door handle once
> fig. 26. Do not grasp the door handle while
locking the vehicle, or else the vehicle will not
lock. The door cannot be opened for a brief pe-
riod directly after locking it. This way you have
the opportunity to check if the doors locked
correctly.

ZA WARNING
Follow the safety precautions > page 32.

@ Tips
— Only use the vehicle key when you can see
the vehicle.
— The vehicle can only be locked when the "P”
selector lever position is engaged.
— Do not use the vehicle key to lock and un-
lock when you are inside the vehicle. Other-
wise, you could trigger the anti-theft
alarm*. If this happens, press the @ unlock
button.
G) Tips
Applies to: vehicles with convenience key
— When unlocking or locking the vehicle, the
convenience key cannot be more than ap-
proximately 4 feet (1.5 m) away from the
door handle or luggage compartment.
— Unlocking with the convenience key (keyless
access) can be deactivated in the MMI sys-
tem > page 33.
—To prevent the vehicle battery from dis-
charging, the energy management gradual-
ly switches off convenience functions that
are not needed. You then may no longer be
able to unlock your vehicle with the sensors.
