KESSY system* 3
The functions of the central locking system, the safe securing system* and the anti-
theft alarm system* correspond to vehicles without KESSY system. Only the control
elements are different.
Control elements of the system:
•Sensor on the outside of the door handle for the front door ⇒fig. 4 - serves for
locking the vehicle,
•Sensor on the inside of the door handle for the front door ⇒fig. 4 - serves for
unlocking the vehicle.
Unlocking and locking the vehicle
Fig. 4 KESSY: Designation of the areas and unlocking/locking the vehicle
If a valid remote control key is located in the area or ⇒fig. 4 of the vehicle, it is
possible to unlock the relevant door of this area. This means, if the key is located in the
area , you can unlock the front left door. If the valid key is located in the area , it
is possible to unlock the boot lid.
Unlocking the vehicle
– If you hold the door handle of the front door or cover the sensor ⇒fig. 4 with
the whole palm of your hand, the vehicle is then unlocked.
Locking the vehicle
– Close the driver or front passenger door.
