Special features in contrast to ordinary

It is basically irrelevant whether you operate the
above-mentioned functions with the comfort
access feature or by pressing the buttons on
the remote control. Before doing so, please

The special features when using comfort
access are described below.

Touch the surface, arrow 2 on the driver's door
or 3 on the passenger door with a finger for
approx. 1 second. This corresponds to pressing
the button.
For comfort closing, hold a finger on the sur-
face, arrow
2 or 3 .
If a remote control accidentally left in the
luggage compartment is detected inside
the locked vehicle after the luggage compart-
ment lid has been closed, then the luggage

ing flashers flash and an acoustic signal
*

Starting engine
You can start the engine or switch on the igni-
tion if a remote control is located on the interior

tion lock, refer to page

If you take the remote control with you when
leaving the vehicle with the engine running, a
warning lamp lights up. In addition, a message
appears on the Control Display. As long as no
remote control is detected in the vehicle, it is
only possible to restart the engine within
approx. 10 seconds after it is switched off.
Switching off engine with automatic
transmission
The engine can only be switched off in the
selector lever position P, refer to page

automatic transmission
1. Insert the remote control into the ignition
lock.

4. Switch off the engine.
The vehicle can roll.

The comfort access function may malfunction
due to local radio waves. If this occurs, then

the remote control or with a key. To start the
engine after this, insert the remote control in the
ignition lock.
