Locking and unlocking the boot lid
When the vehicle is locked, the boot lid will be unlocked automatically if you open it when a vehicle
key is located within the operating range of the boot lid ⇒ Fig. 52 .
The boot lid is locked automatically after it is closed.
If the vehicle is completely unlocked, the boot lid will not lock automatically when closed.
Temporarily deactivating Keyless Access
Keyless Access can be deactivated temporarily as described below so that the vehicle cannot be
unlocked and started due to misuse by unauthorised third parties.
Lock the vehicle with the button in the vehicle key.
In addition, touch the sensor on the outside of the door handle ⇒ Fig. 53Ⓑ  once within five
seconds. Do not reach into the door handle.
Keyless Access is temporarily deactivated.
Check deactivation by waiting for at least ten seconds and then pull the door handle again. It should
not be possible to open the door.
When the vehicle is next unlocked, it can be unlocked only using the vehicle key. The Keyless Access
locking and starting system is reactivated the next time the vehicle is unlocked.
Operating the convenience functions
All electric windows and the glass roof can be closed automatically.
Keep a finger on the sensor ⇒ Fig. 53Ⓑ  of the driver or front passenger door handle for a few
seconds until the windows and glass roof are closed.
The sensor functions can be set in the Vehicle settings menu in the Infotainment system
⇒ Infotainment system controls and displays .

The unlocking function is deactivated for a few seconds so that you can check that the vehicle has
been locked successfully.

If the message Keyless Access system faulty appears on the instrument cluster display, there may be
a malfunction in the Keyless Access system. Go to a qualified workshop.

If there is no vehicle key in the vehicle or if it is not detected, a message will be shown on the
instrument cluster display. This may occur if the vehicle key is subject to interference by another

radio signal or is covered by another item, e.g. an aluminium case ⇒ Starting and stopping the
engine .

If the vehicle has a DSG® dual clutch gearbox, it can be locked only if the selector lever is in
position P.

The entire vehicle will be unlocked if the sensor is touched twice, even if a single door has already
been unlocked.
