(Neutral).
• The brake pedal can be pressed or
not pressed.

START/STOP button for 5 seconds.
Through these steps, the driver's door
must be closed. This condition will
persists for about 25 minutes, the shift

NOTE:
It is also appropriate to disable the
"Passive Entry" function from the
MTC+ system so that the "Pre-Short
Drop" function will not be activated.
This prevents water from entering in
the passenger compartment during car
washing.
WARNING!
• Performed this procedure the vehicle
will stay in N (Neutral), rather
without any brake. To avoid
accidental movement, always check
that the movement of the vehicle
take place only on a flat surface.
• DO NOT USE this function to haul
the vehicle because after a period of
time the shift lever will be placed
automatically in P (Park) position. If
this occurs when the vehicle is
moving the transmission can be
damaged. To haul the vehicle use the
emergency manual park release (see
"Transmission Manual Release of P
(Park) Position" in section "In an
Emergency").
Pre-Short Drop Function
When in a car washing, if the driver
keeps the RKE Transmitter in his/her
pocket, or in any place outside the
vehicle within 1 m (3.3 ft) distance, the
front windows will perform a pre-short
drop. This is a shorter drop compared
to the normal short drop performed by
the "Passive Entry" function when you
grab the door handle to enter the
vehicle.
In order to prevent water from
entering the vehicle between the
upper edge of the glass window and
the door outline on the bodywork,
while the car is being washed, it is
advisable to disable the "Passive
Entry" from the MTC+ System, for
further information refer to chapter
"MTC+ Settings" in section
"Dashboard Instruments and controls".
When deactivating the "passive
entry", also the "Pre-Short Drop"
function will be disabled.
