WARNING
When the double locks are activated, the
doors can no longer be opened from the
inside. People in the vehicle can no longer get
out, e.g. in hazardous situations. There is a
risk of injury.
Therefore, do not leave any people unsuper-
vised in the vehicle, particularly children, eld-
erly people or people in need of special assis-
tance. Do not activate the double lock when
people are in the vehicle.
If the vehicle has been locked from the outside,
the double lock function is activated as stand-
ard. It is then not possible to open the doors
from inside the vehicle. You can deactivate the
double lock function by deactivating the interior
motion sensor (Y page 75). The doors can then
be opened from the inside after the vehicle has
been locked from the outside. You can open the
rear doors from inside the vehicle if they are not
secured by the child-proof locks (Y page 65).
The anti-theft alarm system is triggered if the
door is opened from the inside. Switch off the
alarm (Y page 73).

KEYLESS-GO
General notes
Bear in mind that the engine can be started by
any of the vehicle occupants if there is a key in
the vehicle.
Locking and unlocking
You can start, lock or unlock the vehicle using
KEYLESS-GO. To do this, you need to carry the
key with you. You can combine the KEYLESS-GO
functions with the functions of a conventional
key. Unlock the vehicle using KEYLESS-GO, for
instance, and lock it using the & button on
the key.
The driver's door and the door at which the han-
dle is used must both be closed. The key must be
outside the vehicle. When locking or unlocking
with KEYLESS-GO, the distance between the key
and the corresponding door handle must not be
greater than 1 m.
A check that periodically establishes a radio
connection between the vehicle and the key
determines whether a valid key is in or in the
direct vicinity of the vehicle. This occurs, for
example:
R
during engine start
R
during driving
R
when using HANDS-FREE ACCESS
R
when the external door handles are touched
R
during convenience closing

power, thereby conserving battery power. For
the purposes of activation or deactivation, the
vehicle does not have to be nearby.

WARNING
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Exhaust
gases can enter the vehicle interior if the boot
lid is open when the engine is running, espe-
cially if the vehicle is in motion. There is a risk
of poisoning.
Always switch off the engine before opening
the boot lid. Never drive with the boot lid
open.
G
WARNING
If objects, luggage or loads are not secured or
not secured sufficiently, they could slip, tip
over or be flung around and thereby hit vehicle
occupants. There is a risk of injury, especially
when braking or abruptly changing directions.
Always store objects so that they cannot be
flung around. Secure objects, luggage or
loads against slipping or tipping before the
journey.
!
The boot lid swings upwards when opened.
Therefore, make sure that there is sufficient
clearance above the boot lid.
The opening dimensions of the boot lid can be

HANDS-FREE ACCESS
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
The vehicle exhaust system can become very
hot. If you use HANDS-FREE ACCESS, you
could burn yourself by touching the exhaust
system. There is a risk of injury. Always
ensure that you only make a leg movement
within the detection range of sensors.
!
If the key is within the rear detection range
of KEYLESS-GO, the following situations, for
example, could lead to the boot lid opening
unintentionally:
R
using a car wash
R
using a high-pressure cleaner
Make sure that the key is at least 3 m away
from the vehicle.
i
You can also deactivate KEYLESS-GO. Fur-
ther information on deactivating and activat-
ing KEYLESS-GO (Y page 77).
General notes
With KEYLESS-GO and HANDS-FREE ACCESS,
you can open the boot lid without using your
hands. This is useful if you have your hands full.
To do this, make a kicking movement under the
bumper with your foot.
Observe the following points:
R
Carry your KEYLESS-GO key with you. The key
must be in the KEYLESS-GO detection range
to the rear of the vehicle.
R
When making the kicking movement, make
sure that you are standing firmly on the
ground and that there is sufficient clearance
to the rear of the vehicle. You could otherwise
lose your balance, e.g. on ice.
R
Always ensure that you only make a kicking
movement within the detection range of sen-
sors :.
R
Stand at least 30 cm away from the rear area
while doing so.
R
Do not come into contact with the bumper
while making the kicking movement. Other-
wise, the sensors may not function correctly.

Using HANDS-FREE ACCESS with a pros-
thetic leg may restrict functionality.
R
If a KEYLESS-GO key is in the KEYLESS-GO
detection range to the rear of the vehicle,
HANDS-FREE ACCESS could be triggered.
The boot lid could thus be opened uninten-
tionally, for example, when you:
-
fold the ball coupling in or out
-
couple or uncouple a trailer
-
fit or remove a rear-mounted bicycle rack
-
load/unload bicycles on/from a rear-
mounted bicycle rack
-
set down or lift up an object behind the
vehicle
-
polish the rear of the vehicle
Do not carry the KEYLESS-GO key with you in
such situations. This will prevent the uninten-
tional opening of the boot lid.
Operation
X
To open: kick into sensor detection range :
below the bumper with your foot.
X
If the boot lid does not open after several
attempts: wait at least ten seconds then kick
under the bumper once again.
If you hold your foot under the bumper for too
long, the boot lid does not open. Repeat the
kicking movement more quickly if this occurs.
