WARNING
If persons (particularly children) are exposed
to heat or cold for a prolonged period, there is a risk of serious or even fatal injuries. Never
leave persons (particularly children) unatten-
ded in the vehicle. Key functions
:
& Locks the vehicle
; % Unlocks the vehicle
If you do not open the vehicle within approx-
imately 40 seconds of unlocking, the vehicle

Audio 20/COMAND Online, it lights up
when it is dark after the vehicle is unlocked
with the remote control (see separate oper- ating instructions). i
You can also set an audible signal to con-
firm that the vehicle has been locked. The
audible signal can be activated or deacti-
vated using the on-board computer
(Y page 247). KEYLESS-GO
General notes Bear in mind that the engine can be started by
any of the vehicle occupants if there is a key
in the vehicle.
Locking and unlocking centrally You can start, lock or unlock the vehicle using
KEYLESS-GO. To do this, you only need carry the key with you. You can combine the KEY-
LESS-GO functions with the functions of a
conventional key. Unlock the vehicle by using
KEYLESS-GO, for instance, and lock it using
the & button on the key.
The driver's door and the door at which the
handle is used, must both be closed. The key
must be outside the vehicle. When locking or unlocking with KEYLESS-GO, the distance
between the key and the corresponding door
handle must not be greater than 1 m.
A check which periodically establishes a radio
connection between the vehicle and the key
determines whether a valid key is in the vehi- cle. This occurs, for example:
R when starting the engine
R whilst driving
R when the external door handles are
touched
R during convenience closing Key
