HANDS-FREE ACCESS
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:
R
Carry your KEYLESS-GO key about your per-
son. The SmartKey must be at the rear of
the vehicle in the detection range of KEY-
LESS-GO.
R
When making the kicking movement, make
sure that you are standing firmly on the
ground and that there is sufficient clearance
to the rear of the vehicle. You could other-
wise lose your balance, for example on ice.
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
The vehicle exhaust system can become
very hot. If you use HANDS-FREE ACCESS,
you could burn yourself by touching the
exhaust system. There is a risk of injury.
Always ensure that you make the kicking
movement only within the detection range of
the sensors.
!
If the SmartKey is within the rear detection
range of KEYLESS-GO, the following situa-
tions, for example, could lead to the unin-
tentional opening of the trunk lid:
R
when using an automatic car wash
R
when using a power washer
Make sure that the SmartKey is at least
10 ft (3 m) away from the vehicle.
R
Always ensure that you make the kicking
movement only within the detection range
of sensors :.
R
Stand at least 12 in (30 cm) away from the
rear area while doing so.
R
Do not come into contact with the bumper
while making the kicking movement. Other-
wise, the sensors may not function cor-
rectly.
R
HANDS-FREE ACCESS does not function
during engine start.
R
Dirt caused by road salt and snow build-up
around sensors : may restrict functional-
ity.
R
Using the HANDS-FREE ACCESS with a
prosthetic leg may restrict functionality.
R
If a KEYLESS-GO key is at the rear of the
vehicle in the detection range of KEYLESS-
GO, HANDS-FREE ACCESS could be trig-
gered. The trunk lid could thus be opened or
closed unintentionally, 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
lid.
