KEYLESS-GO
General notes
Bear in mind that the engine can be started by
any of the vehicle occupants if there is a Smart-
Key in the vehicle (
Ypage 164).
Locking/unlocking centrally
You can start, lock or unlock the vehicle using
KEYLESS-GO. To do this, you only need carry the
SmartKey with you. You can combine the func- tions of KEYLESS-GO with those of a conven-
tional SmartKey. Unlock the vehicle by using
KEYLESS-GO, for instance, and lock it using the
&
button on the SmartKey.
The driver's door and the door at which the han-
dle is used, must both be closed. The SmartKey
must be outside the vehicle. When locking or
unlocking with KEYLESS-GO, the distance
between the SmartKey and the corresponding
door handle must not be greater than 3 ft (1 m).
A brief radio connection between the vehicle
and the SmartKey determines whether a valid
SmartKey is in, or in the direct vicinity of, the
vehicle. This occurs, for example:
Rwhen starting the engine
Rwhile driving
Rwhen using HANDS-FREE ACCESS
Rwhen the external door handles are touched
Rduring convenience closing
XTo unlock the vehicle: touch the inner sur-
face of the door handle.
XTo lock the vehicle: touch sensor surface :

period.
Further information on the convenience clos-
ing feature (
Ypage 96).
XTo unlock the trunk lid: pull the handle on
the trunk lid.
Deactivating and activating
If you do not intend to use a SmartKey for an
extended period of time, you can deactivate the
KEYLESS-GO function of the SmartKey. The
SmartKey will then use very little power, thereby

cally if the vehicle reaches a speed of above
6 mph (10 km/h) again after a full brake appli-
cation.
The hazard warning lamps still operate if the
ignition is switched off.
Cornering light function
The cornering light function improves the illu-
mination of the road over a wide angle in the
direction you are turning, enabling better visi-
bility in tight bends, for example. It can only be
activated when the low-beam headlamps are
switched on.
Active:
Rif you are driving at speeds below 25 mph
(40 km/h) and switch on the turn signal or
turn the steering wheel
Rif you are driving at speeds between 25 mph
(40 km/h) and 45 mph (70 km/h) and turn

Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus
Gene ral notes
Wit hAdaptive Highbea mAssis tPlus, you can
automatically switch between low-beam ,partial
high-beam and high-beam headlamps.
Partial high-beam is afor mof illumination
whereby th ehigh-beam is directe dpast other
road users. Other road user sare kept out of th e
high-beam. This prevents glare. When there is a
vehicl ein front, for example, th ehigh-beam
headlamp silluminate th eareas to it sright and
left, and th evehicl ein fron tis illuminate dby th e
low-beam headlamps.
The system automatically adapt sth elow-beam
headlamp range depending on th edistanc eto
th eother vehicle. Once th esystem no longer
detects any other vehicles, it reactivates th e
high-beam headlamps.
If th ehigh-beam or partial high-beam are caus -
ing to omuc hreflection from traffic signs, th e
lights are automatically dimmed and glar efor
th edriver caused by th ereflection sis thus avoi -
ded.
The system' soptical sensor is locate dbehind
th ewindshield near th eoverhead control panel.
