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
>
Starting the engine
>
Convenient closing
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.
