outside when the child-protection
locks are engaged (locked).
NOTE:
For emergency exit from the rear seats
when the child-protection door lock
system is engaged, manually raise the
door lock knob to the unlocked
position, roll down the window, and
open the door using the outside door
handle.
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.
Before Starting
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
door lock.
