chanically unlocking the lock cylinder. Keyless ac-
cess will be active again after the next time the
vehicle is locked/unlocked.
You can unlock and lock the vehicle at every door.
The convenience key must no be more than ap-
proximately 5 feet (1.5 m) away from the door
handle. The function should not be impaired if
the convenience key is in your jacket pocket or in
your briefcase, for example.
If you hold the door handle while locking, this can
impair the locking function.
The door cannot be opened for a brief period di-
rectly after locking it. This way you have the op-
portunity to check if the doors locked correctly.

mine if the entire vehicle or only one of the doors
is unlocked when unlocking the vehicle
=> page 23.
ZA WARNING
No one, especially children, should stay in the
vehicle when it is locked from the outside, be-
cause the windows can no longer be opened
from the inside > page 24. Locked doors
make it more difficult for emergency workers
to get into the vehicle, which puts lives at risk.

If your vehicle is left standing for a long peri-
od of time, note the following:
—To prevent the vehicle battery from dis-
charging, the energy management gradual-
ly switches off convenience functions that

fog over due to the temperature difference
between the inside and outside. They will
clear shortly after switching them on. This
does not affect the service life of the light-
ing.
