KEYLESS ENTRY
(where provided)
3)
The Keyless Entry system can identify
the electronic key near the doors and
tailgate.
The system lets you lock/unlock the
doors (or the tailgate) without having to
press any button on the electronic key.
If the system identifies that the
electronic key detected outside the
vehicle is valid, the owner of the key
can simply grasp one of the front
handles to deactivate the alarm and
unlock the door and tailgate opening
mechanism.
Where the function is provided,
grasping the handle of the driver's
door unlocks the driver's side door
or all doors depending on the mode
set using the display menu or the
Uconnect™ system.
Door locking
To lock the doors, proceed as follows:
make sure that you have the
electronic key with you and are near
the driver or passenger door handle;
press the "door locking" button (A)
fig. 10 on the handle: this will lock all
doors and the luggage compartment
tailgate. Locking the doors will also
activate the alarm (where provided).

IMPORTANT After pressing the "door
locking" button, you need to wait
2 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.
IMPORTANT Do not simultaneously
lock and unlock by pulling the handle
(see fig. 11).

Driver side door emergency
opening
If the electronic key does not work
(e.g. because its 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:
use the device (A) fig. 12 and remove
F1B0063C
the metal insert (B) pulling it outwards;
12
insert the metal insert in the driver
side door lock and turn it to unlock the
door.
Locking/unlocking the tailgate
Approaching the tailgate with a valid
electronic key, press the opening
button (A) fig. 13 underneath the
tailgate handle to unlock the tailgate.
NOTE If there is an alarm system, the
latter will be temporarily disabled only
for the luggage compartment area.
