Opening and closing

The key is configured at the factory to centrally lock and unlock the following:
-
The doors
-
The tailgate
-
The fuel filler flap
 | Risk of accident |
|
Never leave children unsupervised in the vehicle. They could open even a locked door from the inside or start the vehicle if the key is left in it and thereby endanger themselves and others. You should therefore take the key with you when leaving the vehicle, even if you are only leaving it for a short time.

If the KEYLESS GO key is in the vehicle, the vehicle can be started at any time. If you have left the KEYLESS GO key in the vehicle, you will see the following message in the multi-function display when you lock the vehicle: Key still in vehicle.

Restricting the tailgate opening angle
You can limit the opening angle of the tailgate. The tailgate then only opens approximately 20 cm above the height of the edge of the roof. This could be useful, for example, if there is insufficient clearance above the tailgate.

The opening limiter is switched on and off using the on-board computer more.
|
Automatic locking feature
The vehicle will lock automatically once you have pulled away.
You can switch off the automatic locking function via the on-board computer more.

The doors unlock automatically in the event of an accident if the force of the impact exceeds a predetermined level.
The vehicle is locked automatically when the ignition is switched on and the wheels begin to turn. There is therefore a risk of being locked out when the vehicle is being pushed or tested on a dynamometer.
