Comfort Access
Principle
Access to the vehicle is possible without acti‐
vating the remote control.
It is sufficient to have the remote control with
you, for example in a trouser pocket.
The vehicle automatically recognises the re‐
mote control when it is in the immediate vicin‐
ity or the interior of the vehicle.
Comfort Access supports the following func‐
tions:
▷ Unlocking/locking the vehicle.
▷ Comfort closing.
▷ Unlocking the tailgate separately.
▷ Opening/closing the tailgate contactlessly.
▷ Start the engine.
Notes
To prevent the remote control from being
locked in, do not place the remote control in
the boot.
Functional requirements
▷ No external sources of interference in the
vicinity.
▷ To lock, the remote control must be loca‐
ted outside the vehicle in the area of the
doors.
▷ Approximately 2 seconds need to elapse
before the vehicle can be unlocked and
locked again.
▷ An engine start is only possible if the re‐
mote control is in the vehicle.
