Keyless Access locking and ignition system
Depending on the equipment, the vehicle
may have the Keyless 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 attempt-
ing to access the vehicle

Fig. 71 and to
touch one of the sensor surfaces on the
door handles

or operate the soft-
touch/handle on the rear lid

.
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
approx. 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
necessary adjustments can be performed in
vehicles with a driver information system
