General notes
With KEYLESS-GO and HANDS-FREE
ACCESS, you can open or close the boot lid/
tailgate or stop the procedure without using
your hands. This is useful if you have your
hands full. To do this, simply make a kicking
movement under the bumper with your leg.
Observe the following points:
Carry your KEYLESS-GO key about your
R
person. The KEYLESS-GO key must be in
the rear detection range of the vehicle.
When making the kicking movement, make
R
sure that you are standing firmly on the
ground and that there is sufficient clear-
ance to the rear of the vehicle. You could
otherwise lose your balance, e.g. on ice.
(Example: Saloon)
Always ensure that you only make a kicking
R
movement within the detection range of
sensors :.
Stand at least 30 cm away from the rear
R
area while doing so.
Do not come into contact with the bumper
R
while making the kicking movement. Oth-
erwise, the sensors may not function cor-
rectly.
HANDS-FREE ACCESS does not function
R
when the engine is started.
If a KEYLESS-GO key is within the rear
R
detection range of KEYLESS-GO, HANDS-
FREE ACCESS could be triggered. For this
reason, the boot lid/ tailgate could open or
close unintentionally, e.g. if you:
set something down or lift something
-
behind the vehicle
polish the rear of the vehicle

Do not carry the KEYLESS-GO key about
your person in such situations. You can
