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 automatically
detects the corresponding remote control
within the immediate vicinity or in the passen-
ger compartment.
Convenient access supports the following
functions:

Unlocking/locking the vehicle

Unlocking the tailgate separately

Engine starting

Convenient closure

Functional requirement

The vehicle or the tailgate 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.
