"MTC+ Settings" in section
"Dashboard Instrument and
Controls").
If one or more doors are not properly
closed when locking the doors from
the outside, they will not be locked,
while if the trunk compartment is not
properly closed, the doors will in any
case be locked.
In both cases, the malfunction will be
indicated by the turn signals flashing
for a few seconds.
NOTE:
• The interior door locking/unlocking,
trunk compartment lid opening and
fuel tank door opening buttons are
disabled when the doors are locked
from the outside.
• In the event that the inertia switch
activates, the doors are electrically
unlocked and the vehicle can be
accessed by pressing the rear button
inside each handle.
Opening from the Inside To open the door, even if the lock is
engaged, pull the internal handle. There are two buttons in front of the
transmission lever which operate the
door locking and unlocking functions:

driver’s door, all the locks can be
released at the same time or just the
driver’s door, depending on the MTC+
settings (see "MTC+ Settings" in
section "Dashboard Instrument and
Controls").

WARNING!
California Proposition 65
Operating, servicing and maintaining
a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle
can expose you to chemicals including
such as, engine exhaust, carbon
monoxide, phthalates and lead, that
which are know to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. To
minimize exposure, avoid breathing
exhaust, do not idle the engine except
as necessary, service your vehicle in a
well-ventilated area and wear gloves
or wash your hands frequently when
servicing your vehicle. For more
information go to:

vehicle Useful Advice to Extend
Battery Life When parking the vehicle, make sure
that the doors, front, rear lids and
flaps are properly closed. All interior
lights should be off.
When the engine is turned off, do not
keep the connected devices switched
on for a long time (such as radio,
hazard warning flashers, fan, etc.).
CAUTION!
If the battery charge remains below
50% for a long period of time, it will
be damaged due to sulfation; its
performance and starting power will
be reduced and it will be more subject
to freezing (this can happen even at
14°F/-10°C).
We recommend you to have the
battery
charge condition checked,
preferably at the beginning of the
cold season, to prevent the electrolyte
from freezing.
This check should be carried out more
frequently if the vehicle is used mainly
for short trips or if it is equipped with
power absorbing devices that remain
permanently on even when the
ignition switch is off. This applies above all if these devices have been
retrofitted ("Aftermarket" services).
If the vehicle is not used for long
periods of time, please see “Vehicle
Stored for Long Periods” in this
section.
Battery Recharge WARNING!
The process of charging or recharging
the battery produces hydrogen, a
flammable gas that can explode and
cause serious injuries. When charging
or recharging the battery, follow the
recommended precautions at all
times.
• Before using a charger device
always check that this tool is
suitable for the installed battery,
with constant voltage (lower than
14.8 V) and low amperage
(maximum limit 15 A).
• Recharge the battery in a
well-ventilated environment.
• Never charge or recharge a frozen
battery: it can explode due to
hydrogen trapped inside the ice
crystals.
• Ensure that any sparks or open
