The Passive Entry system can identify
the presence of an electronic key near
the doors and the tailgate.

tailgate) to be locked/unlocked without
pressing any buttons on the electronic
key.
The key is detected only after the system
recognizes the presence of a hand in one
of the front handles. If the detected key
is valid, the doors and the tailgate are
unlocked (the elements that open depend
on the Connect system settings).
Where the function is provided, graspingthe handle of the driver's door unlocks
the driver's door only, or all the doors,
depending on the mode set in the
Connect system.
Door locking
To lock the doors, proceed as follows:
make sure that you have the
electronic key and are close to the driver
or passenger side door handle;
press the "door lock" button fig. 7 on
the handle: this will lock all the doors and
the tailgate. Door locking will activate the
alarm as well (where provided).
IMPORTANT After pressing the "door
locking" button, you need to wait two
seconds before the doors can be
unlocked again using the door handle. It is
therefore possible to check whether the
vehicle is locked correctly by pulling the
door handle within 2 seconds. The doors
will not be unlocked again.The car doors and tailgate can be locked
in any case by pressing the
button on
the electronic key or on the car’s inner
door panel.
Driver side door emergency opening
If the electronic key does not work, e.g.
because its battery is flat or the vehicle
battery is flat, the emergency metal
insert inside the key can anyway be used
to operate the lock, unlocking the driver
side door.
To extract the metal insert, proceed as
follows:
Pressing in the points indicated in
fig. 8 extract the cover pulling
downwards;
remove the key insert from its housing
fig. 9;
insert the metal insert in the driver
side door lock and turn it to unlock the

UNLOCKING THE DOORS WITH A FLAT
BATTERY
Proceed as follows to unlock the doors if
the car battery is flat.
Rear doors and passenger door
Proceed as follows:
insert the metal insert of the
electronic key in the release device
housing fig. 12;
turn the key clockwise for the right
door locks or anticlockwise for the left
door locks;
remove the key from the housing.

realign the door lock device (only when
the battery charge has been restored):
press thebutton on the electronic
key;
press thebutton on the door panel;
open by inserting the key insert in the
driver's door lock;
operate the internal door handle.
IMPORTANT For the rear doors, if the
child lock device was engaged and the
previously described locking procedure
carried out, operating the internal handle
will not open the door but will only realign
the lock release device. To open the door,
the outside handle must be used. The
door central locking/unlocking buttons
are not deactivated when the emergency
lock is engaged.
WARNING
6)Once the Power Lock system is engaged,
it is impossible to open the doors from inside
the vehicle. Before getting out of the car,
please therefore check that there is no-one
left inside.
7)NEVER leave children unattended inside
the car, let alone leave the car with the doors
unlocked in a place that children can access
easily. Children may seriously, or even
fatally, injure themselves. Also ensure that
children do not inadvertently operate the
electric parking brake, the brake pedal or the
transmission lever.8)Always use this device when carrying
children. After engaging the child lock on
both rear doors, check for effective
engagement by trying to open a door with
the internal handle.
IMPORTANT
2)Make sure to take the key with you once a
door or the tailgate is locked, to prevent
locking the same key inside the vehicle. If the
key has been locked in, it can only be
recovered using the second provided key.
3)The operation of the recognition system
depends on various factors, such as, for
example, any electromagnetic wave
interference from external sources (e.g.
mobile phones), the charge of the battery in
the electronic key and the presence of metal
objects near the key or the car. In these
cases it is still possible to unlock the doors
by using the metal insert in the electronic key
(see description on the following pages).
