A device (D) for “hands-free” unlocking/locking of a door of a motor vehicle (V), said device (D) being intended to be placed on board said vehicle (V), and comprising a radiofrequency antenna (A) and radiofrequency transmission/reception means (50) capable of authenticating portable equipment (SD) of a user, at least one capacitive sensor for detecting the approach and/or the contact (C) of a member of the user in a predetermined zone (Z), an electronic unit (40) controlling the unlocking of the door, said device (D) being characterized in that it further comprises an emergency access device (E) comprising:
a) a body (1);
b) a graspable pull member (3) connected to a lock actuator (4) and movable between: a retracted position, in which the pull member (3) is retracted in the body (1); and a deployed position, in which the pull member (3) projects outside the body (1);
c) a retention pin (6) sliding transverse to the pull member (3) and adapted to assume: a blocking position, in which it is disposed against the pull member (3), keeping the pull member (3) in its retracted position, and a position for releasing the pull member (3);
d) an electric ejector (8) adapted to control the sliding of the retention pin (6);
e) a control unit (12) for the electric ejector (8) adapted to control the electric ejector (8) in two modes: an unblocking mode, in which the electric ejector (8) drives the retention pin (6) from its blocking position to its release position; and a vibration mode, in which the electric ejector (8) oscillates the retention pin (6) between its blocking position and an intermediate position between the blocking position and the release position,
the control unit (12) controlling the electric ejector (8) in vibration mode as a function of an authentication status of the equipment of the user, the device (D) comprising a chain (100) for transferring vibrations between the electric ejector (8) and a contact surface (S1) of the member of the user, in order to notify the user of the authentication status.
