simultaneously:

The function is activated in the Infotainment system.

The vehicle key is in the vehicle’s unlocking range.

All turn signals flash twice when automatic unlocking has been performed successfully.

If the vehicle has not been unlocked for an extended period, the function will be available again only after the next engine start.

unlocked if the button on the vehicle key is pressed twice.

All turn signals flash once when automatic locking has been performed successfully.

One-off deactivation of automatic locking:

1. Press the

button in the driver door for longer than 2 seconds while the door is open.

Automatic locking will then not be available until the next time the vehicle is locked intentionally.

The vehicle will be locked only if all doors and the boot lid are closed. A double acoustic warning may be output to indicate that there

are open doors or an open boot lid if this function has been activated in the settings.

Locking takes place without SAFELOCK in the case of locking when walking away from the vehicle. This is signalled to the user by single

acoustic feedback. SAFELOCK locking of the vehicle takes place only after intentional locking at the door handle or with the vehicle key.

If the key is located in the detection range around the vehicle for an extended period, this can lead to restrictions in the locking

function when walking away or the unlocking function when approaching.

Certain devices can prevent locking. The vehicle will then remain unlocked without an acoustic warning. Always make sure that

the vehicle is locked.

If the vehicle was parked and not used for an extended period, the vehicle can be unlocked only by means of the sensor on the

inside of the driver door handle or using the vehicle key.

Locking and unlocking the boot lid

When the vehicle is locked, the boot lid will be unlocked automatically if it is opened when a vehicle key is located within the unlocking

range of the boot lid. The boot lid will be locked again after closing.

When Central locking, all doors and Keyless Access unlocking when approaching are activated in the Infotainment system, the vehicle

remains unlocked after the boot lid has been opened and closed. The vehicle must be actively locked.

If Keyless Access locking when walking away is activated, the vehicle is also locked automatically when you walk away from it.
