Technical information should always be available to the foremen and mechanics, because their
careful and constant adherence to the instructions is essential to ensure vehicle road-worthiness and
safety. In addition, the normal basic safety precautions for working on motor vehicles must, as a
matter of course, be observed.

Pressing the unlock button on the remote control key once un‐
locks the vehicle's doors. Which doors are unlocked by the central
locking system can be set via the Multi Media Interface (MMI) /
radio unit. Pressing the button twice unlocks all the vehicle doors
and the rear lid regardless of the settings.
When the vehicle is unlocked, this is indicated by the turn signals
flashing twice. If no door or the rear lid is opened within 60 sec‐
onds of the vehicle being unlocked, the vehicle locks again auto‐
matically. This function prevents the vehicle from being unlocked
for a long time unintentionally.
Term Explanation
MMI - Multi Me‐ The MMI (Multi Media Interface) is an integrated operating concept for the user-friendly,
dia Interface logical and intuitive operation of vehicle systems and infotainment components. The MMI
consists of two basic components: the MMI control console in the centre console and the
MMI display (optionally monochrome or colour) in the dash panel.

control unit -J393- controls the central locking system. The data
transmitted by the vehicle key wirelessly to the central locking and
anti-theft alarm system aerial -R47- are forwarded to the conven‐
ience system central control unit -J393- , which evaluates the data
and then sends the command to open/close the doors to the door
control units via the convenience CAN. The rear door control units
receive this command via a LIN bus. The windows and the sliding/
tilting sunroof open/close when the open/close command is ap‐
plied for longer than 2 seconds.

2.4.2 General notes
For convenience opening/closing, two settings are significant for
the coding of the convenience system central control unit -J393- :
♦ Convenience function via remote control active / not active
♦ Sliding/tilting sunroof fitted / not fitted
If the convenience function via remote control was not activated
in the coding of the convenience system central control unit -
J393- , the windows and sliding/tilting sunroof cannot be closed
or opened with the remote control.
Adaptions for the convenience opening/closing with the remote
control for the convenience system central control unit -J393- are
then also irrelevant. No settings for the convenience opening/
closing function can be made in the Multi Media Interface (MMI)
or the radio unit.
To be able to open/close a fitted sliding/tilting sunroof electrically,
it must be coded as fitted in the convenience system central con‐
trol unit -J393- . If a fitted sliding/tilting sunroof is not coded,
adaption settings for it in the convenience system central control
unit -J393- have no effect. Likewise, no settings for the sliding/
tilting sunroof can be made in the Multi Media Interface (MMI) or
the radio unit.
The country-specific version of the instrument cluster determines
the coding options of the convenience system central control unit
-J393- .
The parameters for the convenience functions are correctly set
by default and do not normally need to be changed. The settings
for convenience functions via remote control only become active
when the convenience function has been activated via the coding.
The functions for setting the vehicle convenience systems can be
selected in the "Car" main menu.
Under the menu item "Windows" the following can be set:
♦ Convenience opening for front electric windows
♦ Convenience opening for rear electric windows
♦ Opening sliding/tilting sunroof

All windows can be opened centrally by the operating unit for
window regulator in driver door -E512- . The front passenger door
window can be opened via the window regulator switch in front
passenger door -E107- ; the rear left window can be closed via
the rear left window regulator switch, in door -E52- , and the rear
right window can be opened via the rear right window regulator
switch, in door -E54- .
When two buttons are pressed in the direction for opening, the
window is stopped when the last valid button signal is cancelled.
When the second operation point is operated in the opposite di‐
rection towards the close position, the window regulator switch
which is pressed in the direction for opening always has priority.
Opening is stopped by blocking shut-off or soft run-in, a conven‐
ience closing command or after a maximum of 20 seconds.

wiring, first turn the ignition on and then off again.
♦ If the window regulator switch is pressed in the direction for
closing, the window moves completely up. Then release the
window regulator switch briefly and press it again immediately
afterwards and hold it down for approx. two seconds.
♦ The window regulator is now in the basic setting and the open‐
ing/closing function (automatic operation of window regula‐

Reversal of a window regulator means that the window changes
the direction of its movement from closing to opening; the window
is opened approx. 200 mm.
