The Comfort Access function is an optional equipment.
The system has the following characteristics:

With Comfort Access, an ID transmitter is required instead of the usual master key. The ID transmitter continues to fulfil all functions of the remote key. The following functions are available with Comfort Access:
- Access authorization
Unlocking the vehicle or the tailgate only without active use of the ID transmitter
- Drive authorization
Engine start without active use of the ID transmitter
- Locking authorization
Locking the vehicle without active use of the ID transmitter (including convenient closing)
Comfort Access prevents inadvertent lockup of an ID transmitter. A second valid ID transmitter is located outside.
