Soft Door Close System (if

get it closed the first time. It increases
the vehicle's safety and comfort, in
particular for children in the back seat,
it is not necessary to slam the door
and it also prevents the risk of
traveling with the door ajar.
The system uses a sensor to detect the
door ajar and an electric actuator to
close it. The sensor detects your
attempt to close the door and once
the latch catches the handle the
electric actuator pulls the door firmly
bringing the door to the fully closed
position.
During the soft closing phase
operated by the system, it is possible to intervene manually by opening or
closing the door.
If you are pushing the door hard
enough to close just like a regular
one, the system still works, but only to
check whether the door is properly
closed.
WARNING!
The system works properly if the ajar
door has a gap , between exterior
door panel surface and exterior
bodyshell surface in the latch area , of
max 0.23 in (6 mm). In the presence of
higher gap, the system is not able to
close the door with the risk of
travelling with the door not
completely closed.Passive Entry System The “Passive Entry” system is an
