The concept

The vehicle can be accessed without activating the remote control.

All you need to do is to have the remote control with you, e.g., in your jacket pocket.

The vehicle automatically detects the remote control when it is nearby or in the passenger compartment.

Comfort Access supports the following functions:

  • Unlocking/locking of the vehicle.
  • Convenient closing.
  • Unlocking of the trunk lid separately.
  • Starting the engine.
