It makes no difference whether the master key is in your jacket pocket or in your briefcase, for example.

The door cannot be opened for a brief period directly after locking it. This way you have the opportunity to check if the doors locked correctly.

The settings in the Infotainment system determine if the entire vehicle or only one of the doors is unlocked when unlocking the vehicle.

Tips

If your vehicle is left standing for a long period of time, note the following:

  • The proximity sensor switches off after a few days to save energy. You then have to pull once on the door handle to unlock the vehicle and a second time to open it.
  • The energy management system gradually turns off unnecessary convenience functions to prevent the vehicle battery from draining and to maintain the vehicle's ability to start for as long as possible. You may not be able to unlock your vehicle using the convenience key.
  • For an explanation on conformity with the FCC regulations in the United States and the Industry Canada regulations.
