NOTE:
If “Unlock All Doors 1st
Press” is programmed all doors will
unlock when you grab hold of the
front driver’s door handle. To select
between “Unlock Driver Door 1st
Press” and “Unlock All Doors 1st
Press”, refer to “Uconnect Touch™
Settings” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further infor-
mation.
To Unlock From The Passenger
Side:
With a valid Passive Entry RKE
transmitter within 1.5 m of the pas-
senger door handle, grab the front
passenger door handle to unlock all
four doors automatically. The interior
door panel lock knob will raise when
the door is unlocked.
NOTE:
All doors will unlock when
the front passenger door handle is
grabbed regardless of the driver’s
door unlock preference setting
(“Unlock Driver Door 1st Press” or
“Unlock All Doors 1st Press”).
Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of
Passive Entry RKE Transmitter In
Vehicle
To minimize the possibility of unin-
tentionally locking a Passive Entry
RKE transmitter inside your vehicle,
the Passive Entry system is equipped
with an automatic door unlock fea-
ture which will function if the ignition
switch is in the OFF position.
If one of the vehicle doors is open and
the door panel switch is used to lock
the vehicle, once all open doors have
been closed the vehicle checks the in-
side and outside of the vehicle for any
valid Passive Entry RKE transmitters.
If one of the vehicle's Passive Entry
RKE transmitters is detected inside
the vehicle, and no other valid Passive
Entry RKE transmitters are detected
outside the vehicle, the Passive Entry
System automatically unlocks all ve-
hicle doors and chirps the horn three
times (on the third attempt ALL
doors will lock and the Passive Entry
RKE transmitter can be locked in the
vehicle). NOTE: The vehicle will only un-
lock the doors when the doors are
locked using the door panel
switch, a valid Passive Entry RKE
transmitter is detected inside the
vehicle, and no valid Passive Entry
RKE transmitter is detected out-
side the vehicle. The vehicle will
not unlock the doors when any of
the following conditions are true:
 The doors are locked using the
RKE transmitter.
 The doors are locked using the LOCK button on the Passive En-
try door handles.
 The doors are manually locked using the door lock knobs.
 There is a valid Passive Entry RKE transmitter outside the ve-
hicle and within 1.5 m of either
Passive Entry door handle.
 Three attempts are made to lock the doors using the door panel
switch and then close the doors.

To Enter The Trunk
With a valid Passive Entry RKE
transmitter within 1.0 m of the deck
lid, press the button on the right side
of CHMSL, (Center High Mounted
Stop Light) which is located on the
deck lid.
NOTE: If you inadvertently leave
your vehicle's Passive Entry RKE
transmitter in the trunk and try to
close the deck lid, the deck lid will
automatically unlatch, unless an-
other one of the vehicle’s Passive
Entry RKE transmitters is outside
the vehicle and within 1.0 m of the
deck lid.To Lock The Vehicle’s Doors
With one of the vehicle’s Passive En-
try RKE transmitters within 1.5 m of
the driver or passenger front door
handles, press the door handle LOCK
button to lock all four doors.
NOTE:

After pressing the door handle
LOCK button, you must wait
two seconds before you can lock
or unlock the doors, using either
Passive Entry door handle. This is
done to allow you to check if the
vehicle is locked by pulling the
door handle, without the
vehicle reacting and unlocking. The Passive Entry system will
not operate if the RKE transmit-
ter battery is dead. The vehicle doors can also be locked
by using the RKE transmitter lock
button or the lock button located on
the vehicle’s interior door panel.

WARNING!
The belt and retractor assembly
must be replaced if the seat belt
assembly Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (ALR) feature or any other
seat belt function is not working
properly when checked according
to the procedures in the Service
Manual. Failure to replace the belt andretractor assembly could increase
the risk of injury in collisions.
SEAT BELT
PRETENSIONERS
The seat belts for both front seating
positions are equipped with preten-
sioning devices that are designed to
remove slack from the seat belt in the
event of a collision. These devices may
improve the performance of the seat
belt by assuring that the belt is tight
about the occupant early in a colli-
sion. Pretensioners work for all size
occupants, including those in child
restraints. NOTE:
These devices are not a
substitute for proper seat belt place-
ment by the occupant. The seat belt
still must be worn snugly and posi-
tioned properly.
The pretensioners are triggered by the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC).
Like the air bags, the pretensioners are
single use items. A deployed preten-
sioner or a deployed air bag must be
replaced immediately.ACTIVE HOOD SYSTEM
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The Active Hood system is intended to
enhance pedestrian protection by ele-
vating the vehicle’s hood upon an im-
pact with a pedestrian or other object.
The system is automatically activated
when the vehicle is moving within a
specified vehicle speed range. In order
to detect a range of pedestrians, other
objects that are impacted may result
in an Active Hood deployment. Deployment Sensors And Controls
The Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) determines if deployment of
the actuators in a frontal impact is
required. Based on the impact sensors
signals, the ORC determines when to
deploy the actuators. The impact
sensors are located within the front
bumper area.
The ORC monitors the readiness of
the electronic parts of the Active Hood
system whenever the ignition switch is
in the START or ON/RUN position.
If the key is in the LOCK position, in
the ACC position, or not in the igni-
tion, the Active Hood system is not on
and the Active Hood will not deploy.
The ORC contains a backup power
supply system that may deploy the
actuators even if the battery loses
power or it becomes disconnected
prior to deployment.
33

Service Active Hood System
If the ORC has deployed the Active
Hood, or if it detects a malfunction in
any part of the system, it turns on the
Air Bag Warning Light and it will
display the “SERVICE ACTIVE
HOOD” message in the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC),
for versions/markets, where pro-
vided. A single chime will sound if the
Air Bag Warning Light comes on
again after initial startup. It also in-
cludes diagnostics that will illuminate
the Air Bag Warning Light if a mal-
function is noted that could affect the
Active Hood system. The diagnostics
also record the nature of the malfunc-
tion. If the Air Bag Warning Light is
illuminated, or if “SERVICE ACTIVE
HOOD” appears in the EVIC, see
your authorized dealer.In the event of an Active Hood deploy-
ment, the vehicle should be serviced by
an authorized dealer. The hood hinges
must be serviced and the actuator as-
semblies replaced to restore system
functionality.
Following an Active Hood deploy-
ment, the hood position can be tem-
porarily reset by pushing down at the
rear edge over the hood hinges as the
internal pressure of each actuator is
relieved. The temporary hood reset
position is intended to improve for-
ward driving visibility over the hood
until the vehicle can be serviced. The
temporary hood reset position will
leave the hood approximately 5 mm
above the fender surface.
The front bumper assembly may af-
fect proper operation of the Active
Hood system. The front bumper com-
ponents should be inspected for dam-
age and replaced if necessary in the
event of a frontal impact, even if it
occurs at a low rate of speed.NOTE: After any Active Hood
deployment, the vehicle should
be taken to an authorized dealer
immediately.
CAUTION!To prevent possible damage, do not
slam the rear of the hood to reset it.
Press the rear of the hood down until
it is approximately 5 mm above the
fender. This should secure both hood
hinge reset mechanisms.WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag Warning
Light in your instrument panel or
the “SERVICE ACTIVE HOOD”
message in the EVIC could mean
you won’t have the Active Hood to
enhance pedestrian protection. If
the light does not come on as a
bulb check when the ignition is
first turned on, stays on after you
start the vehicle, or if it comes on
as you drive, see your authorized
dealer.

WARNING!(Continued)
Modifications to any part of the
Active Hood system could cause it
to fail when you need it. Do not
modify the components or wiring.
Do not modify the front bumper,
vehicle body structure, or add an
aftermarket front bumper or cover. It is dangerous to try to repair any part of the Active Hood system
yourself. Be sure to tell anyone
who works on your vehicle that it
has an Active Hood system.
Do not attempt to modify any part
of your Active Hood system. The
Active Hood may deploy acciden-
tally or may not function properly
if modifications are made. Take
your vehicle to an authorized
dealer for any hood service.Drivers must be aware of pedestri-
ans. Always be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other ve-
hicles, and obstructions. You are
responsible for safety and must
continue to pay attention to your
surroundings. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
ENHANCED SEAT BELT
USE REMINDER SYSTEM
(BeltAlert®)BeltAlert® is a feature intended to re-
mind the driver and front passenger
(for versions/markets, where provided
with front passenger BeltAlert®) to
fasten their seat belts. The feature is
active whenever the ignition is on. If
the driver or front seat passenger is
unbelted, the Seat Belt Reminder Light
will turn on and remain on until both
front seat belts are fastened.The BeltAlert® warning sequence
begins after the vehicle speed is over
8 km/h, by blinking the Seat BeltReminder Light and sounding an in-
termittent chime. Once the sequence
starts, it will continue for the entire
duration or until the respective seat-
belts are fastened. After the sequence
completes, the Seat Belt Reminder
Light remains illuminated until the
respective seat belts are fastened. The
driver should instruct all other occu-
pants to fasten their seat belts. If a front seat belt is unbuckled while trav-
eling at speeds greater than 8 km/h,
BeltAlert® will provide both audio and
visual notification.
The front passenger seat BeltAlert® is
not active when the front passenger
seat is unoccupied. BeltAlert® may be
triggered when an animal or heavy
object is on the front passenger seat
or when the seat is folded flat (for
versions/markets, where provided).
It is recommended that pets be re-
strained in the rear seat in pet har-
nesses or pet carriers that are secured
by seat belts, and cargo is properly
stowed.
BeltAlert® can be enabled or disabled
by your authorized dealer. LANCIA
does not recommend deactivating
BeltAlert®.
NOTE: Although BeltAlert® has
been deactivated, the Seat Belt Re-
minder Light will continue to illu-
minate while the driver’s or front
passenger (for versions/markets,
where provided with BeltAlert®)
seat belt remains unfastened.

Air Bag Deployment Sensors
And Controls
Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC)
The ORC is part of a regulated safety
system required for this vehicle.
The ORC determines if deployment of
the front and/or side air bags in a
frontal or side collision is required.
Based on the impact sensor's signals,
a central electronic ORC deploys the
Advanced Front Air Bags, SABIC air
bags, SAB, Supplemental Driver Side
Knee Air Bag, and front seat belt pre-
tensioners, as required, depending on
several factors, including the severity
and type of impact.
Advanced Front Air Bags and Supple-
mental Driver Side Knee Air Bag are
designed to provide additional protec-
tion by supplementing the seat belts
in certain frontal collisions depending
on several factors, including the se-
verity and type of collision. Advanced
Front Air Bags are not expected to
reduce the risk of injury in rear, side,
or rollover collisions.The Advanced Front Air Bags and
Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air
Bag will not deploy in all frontal col-
lisions, including some that may pro-
duce substantial vehicle damage —
for example, some pole collisions,
truck underrides, and angle offset col-
lisions. On the other hand, depending
on the type and location of impact,
Advanced Front Air Bags may deploy
in crashes with little vehicle front-end
damage but that produce a severe ini-
tial deceleration.
The side air bags will not deploy in all
side collisions. Side air bag deploy-
ment will depend on the severity and
type of collision.
Because air bag sensors measure ve-
hicle deceleration over time, vehicle
speed and damage by themselves are
not good indicators of whether or not
an air bag should have deployed.
Seat belts are necessary for your pro-
tection in all collisions, and also are
needed to help keep you in position,
away from an inflating air bag.
The ORC monitors the readiness of
the electronic parts of the air bag sys-
tem whenever the ignition is in the
START or ON/RUN position. If the
ignition is in the OFF position or in
the ACC position, the air bag system
is not on and the air bags will not
inflate.
The ORC contains a backup power
supply system that may deploy the air
bags even if the battery loses power
or it becomes disconnected prior to
deployment.
Also, the ORC turns on the
Air Bag Warning Light in the
instrument panel for ap-
proximately four to eight sec-
onds for a self-check when the
ignition is first turned on. After the self-
check, the Air Bag Warning Light will
turn off. If the ORC detects a malfunc-
tion in any part of the system, it turns on
the Air Bag Warning Light, either mo-
mentarily or continuously. A single
chime will sound if the light comes on
again after initial startup.
