Comfort Access
Comfort Access is available as optional equipment SA322.
For vehicles with comfort access, the remote key will be called an ID transmitter.
Comfort Access contains the following functions:
- Keyless access to the vehicle
- From service pack 2018: automatic unlocking at about 1 m approach to the vehicle (vehicle direction)
- From service pack 2018: automatic locking while removing from vehicle from about 3 m
- Including ground lighting in the outside door handles and light carpet (optional)
Note!
From service pack 2018 the vehicle can also be unlocked with a smartphone via the outside door handle electronics (NFC = near
field communication).
Note!
The following description does not go into detail about all possible equipment ranges of the comfort access (in dependence on the
model series, model, vehicle equipment and national-market version).
Various settings can be adjusted via iDrive (see also Owner's Handbook).

ID transmitter
The ID transmitter allows the vehicle to be unlocked, locked or deadlocked via radio remote control.
If the vehicle is equipped with Comfort Access, the vehicle can be unlocked and/or locked without active use of the ID transmitter.
The radio signals from the ID transmitter are received by the remote control receiver and transferred to the Body Domain Controller (BDC).
Authentication of the radio signal is then performed within the Body Domain Controller. If the request is duly authorised, the Body Domain
Controller initiates unlocking or locking of the vehicle.
The following functions (depending on the vehicle equipment) are activated by the ID transmitter:
- Locking and unlocking central locking system
- Unlock tailgate

- Opening and closing power window regulators and slide/tilt sunroof with convenient opening and convenient closing
Note!
The remote control receiver is connected via a local CAN bus to the BDC control unit.
The remote control receiver has a transmitter/receiver module. This enables communication to be established between ID transmitter and
remote control receiver. The radio signal is then demodulated, processed and checked in the remote control receiver. That means: The radio
signal from the ID transmitter contains a vehicle-specific constant 'value' which is checked by the remote control receiver. The information is
only passed to the Body Domain Controller (BDC) if this value is correct. This means: Radio signals from remote keys of other vehicles
(including those in the same product line) have no effect on the release and comfort access.
Authentication of the radio signal is then performed within the Body Domain Controller (BDC). If the request is duly authorised, the Body
Domain Controller (BDC) initiates unlocking or locking of the vehicle.

In contrast to the interior aerials, the exterior aerials are equipped with a water spray protected connection.
- Locking and deadlocking: on contact with the sensitive surface of the door handle via capacitive sensor
The request to lock the vehicle is activated by pressing an outer door handle. The request is only processed if the driver's door is closed. The

door from which the request is being made must also be closed. A search for an ID transmitter is then carried out in the external area of the
vehicle via the exterior aerials. If a valid ID transmitter is found outside the vehicle, the vehicle is locked. To implement the lockout safety
device function, this is followed by a search for an identifier in the passenger compartment. If the identifier that was authenticated during
unlocking is also detected in the passenger compartment, the vehicle is unlocked again. Other identifiers belonging to the vehicle can remain
in the vehicle.
Tailgate lock
The operating points (rear lid button, passenger compartment, outer tailgate pushbutton) are used for electric unlocking of the rear lid lock
(hotel setting not engaged). The Body Domain Controller (BDC) is the master control unit. This means that the Body Domain Controller (BDC)
issues the release for unlocking the tailgate lock. The Body Domain Controller (BDC) activates the direct current motor of the release drive in
the tailgate lock, thereby triggering the tailgate lock to unlock.
The request to open the boot lid/tailgate of the vehicle is triggered by pressing the boot lid/tailgate pushbutton. If the vehicle is locked, a search
for an ID transmitter via the exterior aerials then takes place.
When the luggage compartment is closed, authentication is requested from the ID transmitter belonging to the vehicle via the luggage
compartment antennas. If an ID transmitter in the luggage compartment replies and no other ID transmitter outside the luggage compartment
replies, the boot lid/tailgate is opened again. This prevents an ID transmitter from being accidentally locked in the vehicle. If another ID
transmitter is found outside the luggage compartment, the tailgate remains closed. The ID transmitter that is in the luggage compartment is
blocked as a possible transmitter when the vehicle is next unlocked.
