With the vehicle key the vehicle may be

Each new key contains a microchip which  
must be coded with the data from the vehicle  
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 vehi-  
cle. The range of the vehicle key with remote  
control and new battery is several metres  
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 ap-  
prox. 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 only  
necessary that there is a valid vehicle key in  
the detection area corresponding to the at-  
tempted access to the vehicle.

The childproof lock prevents the rear doors  
from being opened from the inside. This sys-

Introduction  
The rear lid unlocks and locks together with  
the doors.  
The emergency lock is located on the front of  
the front passenger's door and the rear

This function is independent of the vehicle  
electronic opening and locking systems. It  
only affects rear doors. It can only be activa-  
ted and deactivated manually, as described  
below:

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