Important safety notes
G WARNING
The vehicle's exhaust system may be very hot.
You could burn yourself by touching the
exhaust system if you use HANDS-FREE
ACCESS. There is a risk of injury. Always
ensure that you only make the kicking move-
ment within the detection range of sensors.
! If the SmartKey is within the rear detec-
tion range of KEYLESS-GO, the following
situations, for example, could lead to the
unintentional opening of the trunk:
using a car wash
R
using a power washer
R
Make sure that the SmartKey is at least
10 ft (3 m) away from the vehicle.
General notes
With KEYLESS-GO and HANDS-FREE
ACCESS, you can open or close the trunk lid
or stop the procedure without using your
hands. This is useful if you have your hands
full. To do this, make a kicking movement
under the bumper with your foot.
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.
Always ensure that you only make the kick-
R
ing movement within the detection range of
sensors :.
Stand at least 12 in (30 cm) away from the
R
rear 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, HAND-
FREE ACCESS could be triggered. The trunk
lid could thus be opened or closed unin-
tentionally, for example, if you:
sit on the edge of the trunk.
-
set something down or lift something up
-
behind the vehicle.
polish the rear of the vehicle.
-
Do not carry the KEYLESS-GO key about
your person in these situations or in situa-
tions similar to these. This will prevent the
unintentional opening/closing of the trunk.
