Convenient access*

Convenient access enables you to enter your
vehicle without needing to hold the remote con-
trol in your hand. All you need to do is wear the
remote control close to your body, e.g. in your
jacket pocket. The vehicle detects the corre-
sponding remote control within the immediate
vicinity or in the passenger compartment.
Convenient access supports the following
functions:

>

Unlocking/locking the vehicle

>

Unlocking the luggage compartment lid
separately

>

Engine starting

>

Convenient closure

Functional requirement

>

The vehicle or the luggage compartment lid
can only be locked when the vehicle detects
that the remote control currently in use is
outside of the vehicle.

>

The vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked
again until after approx. 2 seconds.

>

The engine can only be started when the
vehicle detects that the remote control cur-
rently in use is inside the vehicle.
