Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Passive entry via boot lid
Comfort Access can be used to open the luggage compartment without actively using the ID transmitter.
Condition:
The ID transmitter must be located no further than 1.5 m from the aerials in the rear bumper. Ideally, the user should carry the ID transmitter in a pocket.
To open the luggage compartment, the tailgate button must be pressed for approx. 500 ms. If an ID transmitter is located in the vicinity of the luggage compartment, the tailgate will open.
If an ID transmitter is located inside the luggage compartment when the boot lid is closed (and there are no authorized ID sensors outside the vehicle), the boot lid will open up again.
When this is done, the tailgate is fully opened by the force of a spring or by the automatic tailgate actuation (optional).
An ID transmitter inside the vehicle on the rear window shelf will also be recognized.
