Rear Seat Remote
Applies to: vehicles with Rear Seat Remote
With Rear Seat Remote, you can control conven-
ience and Infotainment system functions in the
rear of the vehicle, such as the climate control
system or the media playback in the vehicle.

ZA WARNING
— As the driver, do not allow usage of the Rear
Seat Remote to distract you from driving, as
this could increase the risk of an accident.
For example, do not reach behind you while
driving to operate the Rear Seat Remote.
— The Rear Seat Remote can only be operated
when the vehicle is stationary or when the
remote is securely positioned in the desig-
nated holder in the vehicle. Like all loose ob-
jects, it could be thrown through the vehicle
and
cause serious injuries in a collision. If
the Rear Seat Remote is not in the designat-
ed holder, it must always be securely stowed
while driving.
— Do not use any wireless devices on the front
seats within range of the airbags while driv-
ing. Also read the warnings in the chapter
> page 86.
— The Rear Seat Remote can become hot while
charging. Pay attention to the housing and
display temperature, and be careful when


removing the Rear Seat Remote from the
holder.
— There are magnets located on the back of
the Rear Seat Remote and in the designated
holder. For people with pacemakers, the
electromagnetic radiation may impair pace-
maker function. Always maintain a mini-
mum distance of approximately 6 in (15 cm)
from the magnets.

CG) Note
— Always follow the information found in 9®
in General information on page 216.
— Protect the Rear Seat Remote against pro-
longed exposure to direct sunlight.

G) Tips
— Please note that the Rear Seat Remote can
be used only when the ignition is switched
on and within range of your vehicle's active
Wi-Fi hotspot.
— Please note that a Wi-Fi connection does
not automatically make it possible to use
the
Internet. For additional information,
see the chapter > page 216.
— When playing online media sources, there
may be longer loading times or restrictions
on media playback, depending on the Inter-
net connection or the Wi-Fi usage (for ex-
ample, if there is intensive usage by multi-
ple devices on the hotspot).
— Signals from Bluetooth devices and Wi-Fi
hotspots within range of the vehicle may
impair the vehicle Wi-Fi services. If multiple
Bluetooth devices and Wi-Fi hotspots are
within range of the vehicle, it may cause re-
duced data transfer rates, connection inter-
ruptions, or limitations when streaming me-
dia.

Opening and closing

Opening and closing
Central locking
(ee emul ela)
Z\ WARNING
— If you leave the vehicle, switch the ignition
off and take the key with you. This applies
particularly when children remain in the ve-
hicle. Otherwise, children could start the ve-
hicle or operate electrical equipment (such
as power windows), which increases the risk
of an accident.

— Applies to: vehicles with anti-theft alarm
system: No one, especially children, should
stay in the vehicle when it is locked from the
outside, because the windows can no longer
be opened from the inside > page 46, Anti-
theft alarm system. Locked doors make it
more difficult for emergency workers to en-
ter the vehicle, which puts lives at risk.
All doors and the luggage compartment lid can
be centrally unlocked and locked at once. You can
select in the MMI if the entire vehicle or only the
driver's door should unlock when unlocking the
vehicle > page 44. The turn signals flash twice
when you unlock the vehicle and flash once when
you lock the vehicle. If they do not flash when
locking, check if all doors and lids are closed.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, you may
have different options for centrally unlocking and
locking your vehicle.

Vehicle key
The term “vehicle key” refers to the remote con-
trol key or convenience key*. The convenience
key* is a remote control key with special func-
tions > page 48 and > page 111.
Power closing*
When closing a door or the luggage compart-
ment lid, you only have to let it fall lightly into
the latch. It then closes automatically > A.
Automatic locking
If you unlock the vehicle but then do not open
any of the doors, the luggage compartment, or
the hood within a short period time, the vehicle
locks again automatically. This feature prevents
the vehicle from being accidentally left unlocked
for a long period of time.
Automatic locking (Auto Lock)
The Auto Lock function locks all doors and the
luggage compartment lid once the speed has ex-
ceeded approximately 9 mph (15 km/h). The ve-
hicle will unlock again if the unlock function in
the central locking switch is pressed, the “P” gear
is engaged, or the ignition is switched off.
You can open the doors individually from the in-
side by pulling the door handle one time. To open
the rear doors individually, you must pull the
door handle twice.
In the event of a crash with airbag deployment,
the doors will also automatically unlock to allow
access to the vehicle.
Unintentionally locking yourself out
Only lock your vehicle when all of the doors and
the luggage compartment lid are closed and
there is no key in the vehicle. This reduces the
risk of locking yourself out accidentally.
The
following features help to reduce the risk of
locking your vehicle key in the vehicle:
— If the driver's door is open, the vehicle cannot
be locked by pressing the & button on the re-
mote control key or by touching the locking
sensor* on a door.
— If the vehicle key that was used most recently is
inside the luggage compartment, the luggage
compartment lid will automatically open again
after it closes > ©.
— If the vehicle key that was last used is detected
inside the vehicle, then the vehicle cannot be
locked from the outside > ©.
