Spare key  
To obtain a spare key and other vehicle keys,  
the vehicle ID number is required.  
With the vehicle key the vehicle may be  
locked or unlocked remotely page 95 .

Each new key contains a microchip which  
must be coded with the data from the vehi-  
cle electronic immobiliser. A vehicle key will  
not work if it does not contain a microchip or  
the microchip has not been encoded. This is  
also true for keys which are specially cut for  
the vehicle.  
The vehicle key includes an emitter and bat-  
tery. The receiver is in the interior of the ve-  
hicle. The range of the vehicle key with re-  
mote control and new battery is several me-  
tres around the vehicle.

Operation  
Depending on the equipment, the vehicle  
may have the Keyless Access system.  
If the vehicle is not unlocked for an extended  
period, the function is deactivated.  
Unlock and lock the vehicle with  
Keyless Access  
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.  
Configure the Keyless Access system  
The behaviour of the Keyless Access system  
can be adjusted in the Vehicle settings  
menu of the Infotainment system.  
It does not matter where you carry the key,  
e.g. in your jacket pocket.  
If the Keyless Access function is disabled, its  
operation is limited.  
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.  
Keyless Access is a key-free locking and igni-  
tion system to unlock and lock the vehicle  
without actively using its key. For this, it is on-  
ly necessary that there is a valid vehicle key in  
the detection area corresponding to the at-  
tempted access to the vehicle.

It is a monitoring or control function incor-  
porated in the anti-theft alarm which detects  
unauthorised vehicle entry by means of ul-

be done each time that the vehicle is locked;  
if not, they will be automatically switched on.

such as loose papers, items hanging from  
the rear vision mirror (air fresheners), etc.  
The vehicle interior monitoring and anti-tow  
sensor (tilt sensor) are automatically switch-  
ed on when the anti-theft alarm is switched  
on. In order to activate it, all the doors and  
the rear lid must be closed.  
The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-  
tow system should be switched off if animals  
are left inside the locked vehicle (otherwise,  
their movements will trigger the alarm) or  
when, for example, the vehicle is transported  
or has to be towed with only one axle on the  
ground.  
Note  
If the vehicle is relocked and the alarm is  
activated without the volumetric sensor  
function, relocking will activate the alarm  
with all its functions, except the volumetric  
sensor. This function is reactivated when  
the alarm is switched on again, unless it is

time of year, thus causing serious injuries,  
illness or even death.

WARNING  
The rear lid can be closed with another foot  
movement similar to the opening one (provi-  
ded a valid vehicle key is in the proximity of  
the rear lid).  
If there is a valid key in the proximity of the  
rear lid, in some cases the Easy Open func-  
tion may be accidentally activated and the  
rear lid will open, for example, when  
sweeping under the rear bumper, when di-  
recting a water jet or high pressure steam to  
the area or when carrying out maintenance  
work or repairs in that area. If accidentally  
opened, the rear lid could injure somebody  
situated in its area of operation or cause  
material damage.  
When closed, the rear lid automatically locks  
if the vehicle has been locked beforehand  
and there is no valid key inside.  
While the rear lid is in motion (either open-  
ing or closing), it can be stopped with anoth-  
er foot movement similar to the opening one  
(provided a valid vehicle key is in the proximi-  
ty of the rear lid).  
Fig. 86 Lower sensor detection area.  
If there is a valid vehicle key in the proximity  
of the rear lid, it is possible to unlock and  
open or close it moving one foot in the area  
of the sensors located under the rear bump-  
er.  
Therefore, always make sure that there is  
no unsupervised valid key in the area near
