Opening and closing

— 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.
@ 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

— Unlocking with the convenience key (keyless
access) can be deactivated in the MMI sys-
tem > page 31.
— 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.

General information
Z\ WARNING
— Applies to vehicles with anti-theft alarm sys-
tem: When the vehicle is locked from the
outside, no one - especially children - should
remain in the vehicle, because the windows
can no longer open from the inside
= page 33. Locked doors make it more diffi-
cult for emergency workers to enter the ve-
hicle, which puts lives at risk.
— Always close and lock the luggage compart-
ment lid and the doors when the vehicle is
not in use. Otherwise someone such as a
child could enter the vehicle through the
luggage compartment and become locked
inside it. To reduce the risk of injury, do not
allow children to play in or around the vehi-
cle.
—To reduce the risk of injuries by pinching,


make sure that no one is in the operating

ings regarding working in the engine compart-
