Avoiding unintentional alarms

may be switched off at the same time. This pre-
vents unintentional alarms, e.g. in the following
situations:

In two-level garages

When transporting on car-carrying trains,
by sea or on a trailer

When animals are to remain in the vehicle

Switching off tilt alarm sensor and

interior motion sensor

Press the

button on the remote control

again as soon as the vehicle is locked.
The indicator lamp lights up briefly and then
flashes continuously. The tilt alarm sensor and
the interior motion sensor are switched off until
the next time the vehicle is unlocked and subse-
quently locked again.

Comfort access*

Comfort access allows you to access your vehi-
cle without having to hold the remote control in
your hand. It is sufficient to carry the remote
control with you, e.g. in your jacket pocket. The
vehicle automatically detects the associated
remote control in the immediate vicinity or in
the interior.
Comfort access supports the following func-
tions:

Unlocking/locking vehicle

Comfort closing

Opening luggage compartment lid sepa-
rately

Starting engine

Functional requirement

The vehicle or the luggage compartment lid
can only be locked if the vehicle detects that
the remote control you are carrying is out-
side the vehicle.

The next unlocking and locking cycle is not
possible until after approx. 2 seconds.

The engine can only be started if the vehicle
detects that the remote control is located in
the vehicle.
