Locking and unlocking with KEYLESS-GO-card

Grasp any door handle. All turn signal lamps blink once
to indicate that the vehicle is unlocked.
The KEYLESS-GO-card can be programmed for two
kinds of unlocking modes (see below):
Selective unlocking mode –
Grasp driver’s door handle to unlock driver’s door and
fuel filler flap.
Grasping the passenger door or a rear door, centrally
unlocks the vehicle.
Global unlocking mode –
Grasp any door handle to unlock both doors, fuel filler
flap, and trunk.
For choosing global or selective mode on KEYLESS-GO-
card, see page 41.Notes:
The door which was unlocked, can be opened
immediately after the audible click. The other door can
be opened after its lock button rises up.
If the trunk was previously locked separately, it will
remain locked, see page 51.
The presently active unlocking mode (selective or
global) can be determined by pressing the button on the
KEYLESS-GO-card (see page 41 for changing mode).
If within 40 seconds of unlocking with the
KEYLESS-GO-card, neither door nor trunk is opened,
the electronic key is not inserted in the starter switch,
or the central locking switch is not activated, the vehicle
will automatically lock.
