These features can be extremely beneficial for certain drivers, but they can also lead to issues. There are a few steps you can do to solve your comfort access system if it's not working properly. It is important to ensure that there's no obstruction between the car's sensors and the window or door handle and confirming that the key fob has been correctly inserted into the car's keyhole.
If you're still experiencing issues try restarting the vehicle and try again. If these suggestions don't work, you should contact a mechanic for additional assistance.
