Operation
Depending on the equipment, the vehicle
may hav e the K
eyless Access system.
Keyless Access is a key-free locking and igni-
tion system to unlock and lock the vehicle
without actively using its key. To do this, all
that is required is to have a valid vehicle key in
the detection area where you are attempting
to access the vehicle ››› Fig. 77
and to touch
one of the sensor surfaces on the door han-
dles ››› Fig. 78
or operate the softtouch/han-
dle on the rear lid ››› page 105
››› .
Aut omatic v
ehicle unlock
The vehicle can be unlocked and locked via
the front doors only. When doing so, the re-
mote control key must be no further than ap-
prox. 1.5 m away from the door handle.
It does not matter where you carry the key,
e.g. in your jacket pocket.
Once the doors have been locked, they can-
not be opened again immediately. This will
enable you to check that the doors are prop-
erly closed.
If you wish you may unlock only the corre-
sponding door or the entire vehicle. The nec-
essary adjustments can be performed in ve-
hicles with a driver information system
››› page 90. General information
If a valid k
ey is in the proximity of the car,
››› Fig. 77 the Keyless Access locking and
starting system gives the key entry as soon as
one of the sensor surfaces on the door han-
dles is touched or the softtouch/handle on
the rear lid is operated.
The following features are then available
without having to use the vehicle key actively:
Operation
CAUTION
The sensor surfaces on the door handles
coul d engage if hit with a w
ater jet or high
pressure steam if there is a valid vehicle
key in the proximity. If at least one of the
electric windows is open and the sensor
surface ››› Fig. 78
B (arrow) on one of the
handl es is activ
ated continuously, all win-
dows will close. Note
Air conditioning
Some functions and buttons, as well as the
air conditioning f or the r
ear seats, are only
available depending on the vehicle equip-
ment.
Sensors fields 1 and
2 The temperature of the right and left sides
can be adjust
ed separ
ately using the adjust-
ers. The selected temperature is shown on
the display of the climate control panel.
To set the Climatronic temperature to +22 °C
(+72 °F), the centre of the touch control must
be pressed briefly. To adjust the maximum
cooling or heating power, briefly press and
hold either end of the touch control (red or
blue zone).
The set air temperature is kept constant. Tem-
perature and the amount and distribution of
air are controlled automatically. Automatic
mode is switched off when the fan power is
changed manually.
The fan power in automatic mode can be se-
lected using the air conditioning profile in the
air conditioning settings of the infotainment
system ››› page 161
.
Cooling mode
Press the button to switch on or off the cool-
ing system. The cooling mode cools and dehumidifies the
air.

Infotainment operation
Navigation* Intr oduction Fig. 156
Schematic representation: Navigation
vie w A global satellite system determines the cur-
r
ent position of the v
ehicle and the sensors
mounted on the vehicle analyse the routes
taken. All measured values and possible traf-
fic events are compared with the available
maps to allow optimal navigation to the des-
tination.
Navigation announcements and graphic rep-
resentations will guide you to your destina-
tion.
Navigation management is carried out on the
screen.
Depending on the country, some functions of
the infotainment system will not be available on the screen when travelling above a certain
speed. It is not a malfunction, but is due to
compliance with l
egislation.
Navigation announcements
Navigation announcements are acoustic indi-
cations for driving referred to the current
route.
The type and frequency of navigation an-
nouncements depend on the driving situation,
for example, starting the guide to the destina-
tion, driving on the motorway or on a round-
about and the settings. If the exact destination cannot be reached
because, f
or example, it is in a non-digitised
area, indications relating to the address and
the distance to the destination are displayed
on the screen.
During dynamic route guidance, you will re-
ceive information about reported traffic con-
gestion on the route. An additional navigation
announcement is provided if the route is re-
calculated due to traffic congestion.
While a navigation announcement is playing,
its volume can be adjusted. The following
navigation announcements provided will be
played with the newly adjusted volume. »

Infotainment system
Limitations during navigation
If the inf ot
ainment system cannot receive da-
ta from GPS satellites, for example, in a tunnel
or in an underground garage, navigation con-
tinues using the vehicle's sensors.
In areas that are not digitised or are only par-
tially digitised on the infotainment memory,
the infotainment system will still attempt to
provide route guidance.
In the case of missing or incomplete naviga-
tion data, it may not be possible to determine
the exact position of the vehicle. This may
mean that navigation is not as precise as usu-
al.
Roads and streets are subject to constant
change (e.g. new roads, road works, roads
closed to traffic, changes to street names
and building numbers). If the navigation data
is obsolete, this may lead to errors or inaccur-
acies during the route guidance.
Managing the navigation map
To allow an optimal view, you can also man-
age the navigation map with additional finger
movements.
Move the map (tip: use your index finger).
