Special features in contrast to ordinary
remote control
It is basically irrelevant whether you operate the
above-mentioned functions with the comfort
access feature or by pressing the buttons on
the remote control. Before doing so, please
familiarize yourself with the information on
opening and closing, starting on page

The special features when using comfort
access are described below.
Unlocking
Completely grasp a door handle, arrow 1.
This corresponds to pressing the button.
If a remote control is detected in the interior
after unlocking, the electric steering-wheel lock
disengages, refer to page
58 .
Locking doors
Touch the surface, arrow 2 on the driver's door
or 3 on the passenger door with a finger for
approx. 1 second. This corresponds to pressing
the button.
For comfort closing, hold a finger on the sur-
face, arrow
2 or 3.
If a remote control accidentally left in the
luggage compartment is detected inside
the locked vehicle after the luggage compart-
ment lid has been closed, then the luggage
compartment lid opens again. The hazard warn-
ing flashers flash and an acoustic signal
*
sounds. <
Switching on radio readiness
By briefly pressing the Start/Stop button, you
switch on the radio readiness, refer to page
58 .
When doing so, do not depress the brake
pedal; otherwise, the engine will start
immediately. <
Starting engine
You can start the engine or switch on the igni-
tion if a remote control is located on the interior
of the vehicle. It need not be inserted in the igni-
tion lock, refer to page
58 .
If you take the remote control with you when
leaving the vehicle with the engine running, a
warning lamp lights up. In addition, a message
appears on the Control Display. As long as no
remote control is detected in the vehicle, it is
only possible to restart the engine within
approx. 10 seconds after it is switched off.
Switching off engine with automatic
transmission
The engine can only be switched off in the
selector lever position P, refer to page
60 .
To switch off the engine in the selector lever
position N, the remote control must be inserted
in the ignition lock.
Before driving into a car wash with
automatic transmission
1. Insert the remote control into the ignition
lock.
2. Depress brake pedal.
3. Place selector lever in position N.
4. Switch off the engine.
The vehicle can roll.
Malfunction
The comfort access function may malfunction
due to local radio waves. If this occurs, then
open or close the vehicle with the buttons on
the remote control or with a key. To start the
engine after this, insert the remote control in the
ignition lock.
