The central locking on your HYMER camper van based on Mercedes Benz provides you with optimal support for a successful travel experience. Read here how you can make optimal use of the central locking system.

The central locking in your HYMER Camper Van based on Mercedes Benz offers you various options for use. 

Keyless start function

Your HYMER camper van is equipped with a keyless start function. With this function you can use the start-stop function in your camper van and start the engine of your vehicle. Please first unlock your vehicle with the remote control key. Then open the driver's door of your vehicle. Make sure your remote control key is within the detection range. This detection area is approximately up to the B-pillar. You can also use the key holder in the cup holder. If you have met all the conditions, you can start the vehicle's engineusing the start/stop button.

Global vs. Selective Control

The global or selective control of your central locking system allows you to control doors and service flaps differently. 

With global control,you can use the lock button on your remote control key to lock all doors (driver, front passenger and rear doors) and the sliding door. To do this, the doors and flaps must be closed and must not be displayed as open in the instrument cluster. By pressing the unlock button you can unlock all doors and the sliding door.

With the selective control you can control the doors individually. To activate selective control, you must press and hold the locking and unlocking buttons on your remote control key simultaneously for several seconds. The battery indicator light flashes to indicate that you have successfully switched to selective control. 

If you now press the unlock symbol on your remote control key once, you will open the driver's door and the passenger door. Press the unlock symbol twice to open the body door and all other doors.

To lock the vehicle, press the lock symbol on your remote key once.

By holding down the lock and unlock buttons on the remote key, you can exit selective control mode and return to global mode.

Tips

  • Protect key battery from discharge: You can deactivate the keyless start function on your key. To do this, briefly press the lock button on your key twice. The indicator light on the key lights up twice briefly and once long , confirming that the function has been deactivated. Please don't forget that you have deactivated your key. You can reactivate the function by pressing any button on your key.
    Please note: if you deactivate the keyless start function, you will not be able to start your vehicle!
  • Use the deactivation of the keyless start function when your vehicle is idle for a longer period of time (for example over the winter break) - this way you protect your key's battery. Please don't forget to reactivate the keyless start function after the winter break!
  • During your camping stay, it is best to keep your key outside of the reception area in the driver's cab so that the vehicle can go to sleep. This is how you protect your vehicle’s starter battery.
  • If you do not open the vehicle within 40 seconds of unlocking, the vehicle will lock itself and the anti-theft protection will be activated again.
  • If the battery indicator light on your key no longer lights up when you press the buttons, the battery on your key is empty and you should replace the battery.
  • The doors lock automatically at a speed of 15km/h. However, please ensure that you have properly locked all doors and flaps before setting off.
