Soft Door Close System (if
equipped) This system makes doors easier to shut
without having to slam if you do not
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
enhancement to the vehicle’s Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) system. This
feature allows you to lock and unlock
the vehicle’s door(s) without having to
press the key fob RKE transmitter lock
or unlock buttons.
NOTE:
• “Passive Entry” may be programmed
to on/off; see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls” for further information.
• If wearing gloves, or if it has been
raining on the “Passive Entry” door
handle, the unlock sensitivity can be
affected, resulting in a slower
response time.
• Access to the vehicle using “Passive
Entry” system may not work
properly in case of interference
caused by external sources such as
metal objects, mobile phones,
overhead power lines, antennas, etc.
In these cases, use the buttons of the
key fob RKE transmitter to open and
close the vehicle or the emergency
key, inserting it into the driver side

Preventing Inadvertent Locking
of the Key fob RKE Transmitter
inside the Vehicle To minimize the possibility of
unintentionally locking a key fob RKE
transmitter inside your vehicle, the
“Passive Entry” system is equipped
with an automatic door unlock
feature 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 system checks
the inside and outside of the vehicle
for any valid key fobs RKE transmitter.
If one of the vehicle's key fobs RKE
transmitters is detected inside the
vehicle, and no other valid key fobs
RKE transmitters are detected outside
the vehicle, the “Passive Entry” system
automatically unlocks all vehicle doors
and chirps the horn fourteen times (on
the fifteenth attempt ALL doors will
lock and the key fob RKE transmitter
will be locked in the vehicle). This will
happen even on vehicles equipped
with Power Trunk Lid/Hand Free
pressing RH button on its right lower
part to close and lock the trunk lid. NOTE:
The vehicle unlocks the doors under
any of the following conditions:
• the doors are manually locked using
the door lock knob positioned on
the door panel;
• there is a valid key fob RKE
transmitter inside the vehicle;
• there is not a valid key fob RKE
transmitter outside the vehicle.
NOTE:
The vehicle will not unlock the doors
under any of the following conditions:
• the doors are locked using the key
fob RKE transmitter;
• the doors are locked using the
button on the “Passive Entry” door
handles; • there is a valid key fob RKE
transmitter outside the vehicle and
within 3.3 ft (1 m) of either “Passive
Entry” door handle;
• fifteen attempts are made to lock
the doors using the door panel
switch and/or the RH button
(on
the vehicles equipped with Power
Trunk Lid/Hands Free) and then close
the doors.
If the key fob RKE transmitter is inside
the passenger compartment and one
of the doors locked only to the first
detent of lock pawl (hence it is not
fully closed), when the vehicle lock
function with alarm system for trunk
lid and doors is being activated by
means of RH button
at the bottom
of the trunk lid, said function will be
activated all the same.
In this condition, any attempt to duly
close the door that is partially openBefore Starting
2

will cancel vehicle lock and alarm
system arming thus leaving vehicle
unlocked.
Since when the doors are locked, the
"Passive Entry" system waits for about
16 seconds before verifying if a key
