- The driver's door and the door on which the door handle is used are closed.
NOTE: Damage to the vehicle caused by unintentionally opening the trunk lid when using an automatic car wash or a high pressure cleaner. Deactivate the function of the SmartKey or keep it at least 10 ft (3 m) away.
Observe notes: on washing the vehicle in a car wash or using a high-pressure cleaner.

- To lock the vehicle: touch sensor surface 1 or 2.
- Convenience closing: touch recessed sensor surface 2 for an extended period. Further information on convenience closing (see page 79).
KEYLESS-GO Troubleshooting
You can no longer lock or unlock the vehicle using KEYLESS-GO:
- The function of the SmartKey has been deactivated.
- The SmartKey battery is weak or discharged.
Steps to resolve:
- Activate the function of the SmartKey (see page 64).
- Check the battery using the indicator lamp (see page 63).
- Replace the SmartKey battery, if necessary (see page 65).
- Use the replacement SmartKey.
- Use the emergency key to lock or unlock (see page 70).
- Have the vehicle and SmartKey checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
Interference from powerful radio signals can impair KEYLESS-GO: high voltage power lines, mobile phones, notebooks, tablets, shielding by metal objects, induction loops. Keep sufficient distance.
