In general, there is no difference between using 
Comfort Access or pressing the buttons on the 
remote control to carry out the functions men-
tioned above. You should therefore first famil-
iarize yourself with the instructions on opening 
and closing starting on page

Special features regarding the use of Comfort 
Access are described below.
If you notice a brief delay while opening or 
closing the windows or retractable hard-
top, the system is checking whether a remote 
control is inside the vehicle. Please repeat the 
opening or closing procedure, if necessary.
