The door handle sensors become active again if one of the following events occurs: x A short time has passed. x OR: The vehicle is unlocked using the 0 button in the remote control vehicle key. x OR: The luggage compartment lid is opened.

NOTICE The door handle sensor surfaces can be activated by a strong stream of water or steam if a valid vehicle key is within range of the vehicle.

Electronic devices such as mobile phones can also interfere with the signal. Dirt on the door handles that contains a lot of salt (especially in winter) can affect the way the door handle sensors work.
