PASSIVE ENTRY
3)
The Passive Entry system can identify
the presence of an electronic key near
the doors and the luggage compartment.
The system enables the doors (or
the luggage compartment) to be
locked/released without pressing any
button on the electronic key.
The key is detected only after the
system recognises the presence of a
hand in one of the front handles. If the
detected key is valid, the doors and the
luggage compartment are unlocked
(the elements that open depend on the
Connect system settings).
Where the function is provided, grasping
the handle of the driver's door unlocks
the driver's door only, or all the doors,
depending on the mode set in the
Connect system.
WARNING If wearing gloves, or if it has
rained and the door handle is wet, the
activation sensitivity of the Passive
Entry function may be reduced, resulting
in a longer reaction time.
Door locking
To lock the doors, proceed as follows:
make sure that you have the electronic
key and are close to the driver or
passenger side door handle;
press the "door locking" button fig. 21
located on the handle or the fig. 22
button on the boot near the open button:
this will lock all doors and the boot.
Locking the doors will also activate the
alarm (where provided).

WARNING After pressing the "door
locking" button, you need to wait two
seconds before the doors can be
unlocked again using the door handle. It is
therefore possible to check whether the
car is locked correctly by pulling the door
handle within 2 seconds. The doors will
not be unlocked again.
The car doors and luggage compartment
can anyway be locked pressing button
on the electronic key or on the inner door
panel.
Driver side door emergency opening
If the electronic key does not work, e.g.
because its battery is flat or the car
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:
press in the points shown fig. 23 and
slide the cover off downwards;
remove the key insert from its housing
fig. 24;
insert the metal insert in the driver
side door lock and turn it to unlock the
door.
