If the SmartKey is within the rear detection
range of KEYLESS-GO, the following situa-
tions, for example, could lead to the uninten-
tional 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.
General notes
Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO without carbon
package: you can unlock the trunk lid without
using your hands. This is useful if you have your
hands full. To do this, make a kicking movement
under the rear 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 KEYLESS-
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 otherwise
lose your balance, for example on ice.
R
Always ensure that you only make the kicking
movement within the detection range of sen-
sors :.
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 correctly.
R
Unlocking the trunk via the sensor does not
function while the engine is being started.
R
Dirt caused by road salt or snow around sen-
sors : may restrict functionality.
Using the trunk unlocking function via the
sensor with a prosthetic leg may restrict func-
tionality.
R
If a KEYLESS-GO SmartKey is within the rear
detection range of KEYLESS-GO, the sensors
could be triggered. As a result, the trunk lid
could be opened unintentionally under the
following conditions:
-
if you set something down or lift something
behind the vehicle
-
if you polish the rear of the vehicle
Do not carry the KEYLESS-GO key about your
person in these situations or in situations sim-
ilar to these. This will prevent the trunk lid
from being unlocked unintentionally.
Operation
X
To unlock: kick into sensor detection
range : below the bumper with your foot.
The trunk lid opens slightly.
X
To open: lift the trunk lid.
X
If the trunk lid does not unlock after sev-
eral attempts: wait at least ten seconds then
kick under the bumper once again.
If you hold your foot under the bumper for too
long, the trunk lid does not unlock. Repeat the
leg movement more quickly if this occurs.
Unlocking from inside the vehicle
G
DANGER
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Exhaust
gases can enter the vehicle interior if the
trunk lid is open while the engine is running,
especially if the vehicle is in motion. There is a
risk of poisoning.
