The emergency key actuates:
– the front door locks
– the boot lock
– the passenger’s airbag deactiva-
tion switch
– the rear side bag deactivation
switch.The CID device check is carried out
when the button inside the door
handle or on the boot is pressed: if
the Keyless System recognizes the
CID device, it disconnects the alarm
system and actuates the boot or door
opening mechanism.
Identification occurs only if the
CID owner is standing about 1 metre
far from the door that has to be
opened or from the boot.
IMPORTANTThe CID device
operation depends on several fac-
tors, such as the possible interfer-
ence with electromagnetic waves
emitted by external sources, the bat-
tery charge and the presence of
metal objects near the CID device
and the car. In any case, operations
can be carried out by means of the
emergency key included in the CID
device.To switch off the front passenger’s
airbag and the rear side bags, use
the emergency key included in the
CID device.
The CID owner must take the fol-
lowing precautions to be able to
have all the system functions avail-
able:
– For unlocking doors or boot, the
CID device must be outside the car
at a maximum distance of approx.
one meter from the handle involved.
– To actuate the ignition switch
functions, the CID device must be
inside the car.
– If the CID device is taken away
from the car (e.g. it is kept inside a
bag or in a pocket) the doors cannot
be locked and the car started any
more.
– If central locking has been acti-
vated from inside the car by pressing
the button on the driver’s door
panel, it will only be possible to get
into the car by pressing the button
on the CID device.

OPENING/CLOSING FROM
THE INSIDE
To open the door even when the
lock is locked, pull handle A(fig. 35
front doors -fig. 36 rear doors) set in
the upper part of the panel.
Next to each door handle are two
buttons that actuate lock
locking/unlocking:
–Bbutton for unlocking;
–Cbutton for locking.
The red/green leds A(fig. 33 front
doors –fig. 34 rear doors) indicate
the locking/unlocking condition.
The leds come on with red light for
about 3 seconds after door locking
and with green light after unlocking.
By pulling the internal handle of
the driver’s door, all the doors or
only the driver’s door will be simul-
taneously unlocked, depending on
the setting selected on the CON-
NECT. By pulling the internal han-
dle of any other door, all the doors
are simultaneously unlocked.

With the dead lock
device on, pressing the
external handle button of
one of the doors while unlocking
the doors by the remote control
could cause the disconnection of
the internal handle of the
involved door thus making
impossible to open that door
from the inside. To restore regu-
lar operation, just press the
remote control central door
unlocking button or button B (fig.
36) on the door panel.A led is located near each door
handle to make it easy to find the
handle in the dark. The leds light up
for about 2 minutes after turning the
ignition key to STOPor until a door
is opened.
Door open indication
The driver is informed that one or
several doors are not closed correct-
ly by the lighting of the correspond-
ing symbols on the instrument dis-
play, together with the messages
“DOOR OPEN” or “DOORS
OPEN”.

MANUALLY ADJUSTABLE SEATS
(Moving the seats backwards or
forwards) (fig. 39)
Lift lever Aand push the seat for-
wards or backwards: you are in the cor-
rect position for driving when your
hands are resting on the steering wheel
rim and your arms are slightly bent. FRONT SEATS
Only adjust the driver’s
seat when the car is sta-
tionary.
Once you have lever
released the lever, check
that the seat is firmly
locked in the runners by trying to
move it back and forth. Failure to
lock the seat in place could result
in the seat moving suddenly and
dangerously.ELECTRICALLY ADJUSTABLE
SEATS
Electric adjustment of seats is pos-
sible under one of the following con-
ditions:
– ignition switch to MAR
– for approx. 1 minute after
removing the ignition key or turning
it to STOP
– for approx. 3 minutes with key
removed or turned to STOPand
with door open.
The seat adjustment controls are:

Upholstery of your car
has been designed to with-
stand wear deriving from
common use of the car. You are
however recommended to avoid
strong and/or continuous scratch-
ing with clothing accessories such
as metallic buckles, studs, Velcro
fastenings and the like, since these
items cause circumscribed stress
of the cover fabric that could lead
to yarn breaking, and damage the
cover as a consequence.

STORING THE DRIVER’S SEAT
POSITIONS (fig. 46)
The system allows to store and
recall three different driver’s seat
positions and external rear view mir-
ror positions.
Seat position memorization also
includes the head restraint adjust-
ment in height, the position of the
external rear view mirrors and of the
steering wheel (only versions with
electric adjustment).
The seat, external rear view mirror
and steering wheel positions can
only be stored when the ignition key
is at MAR.Adjust the position of the seat,
head restraint, external rear view
mirrors and steering wheel by means
of the relevant controls, then press
for about 3 seconds any of buttons
“1”, “2” or “3” each corresponding
to one stored position, until a confir-
mation beep is heard.
When memorising the seat posi-
tions, also the head restraint, electric
rear view mirror and steering wheel
positions are memorised.
The previously stored position will
automatically be deleted when a new
position is stored under the same
button.
IMPORTANTSeat position mem-
orization does not include lumbar
adjustment and heating actuation.
Recalling stored positions
With the key in position MAR, any
stored position can be recalled by
briefly pressing the respective but-
ton “1”, “2” or “3”. The seat will
move automatically and stop in the
stored position.
fig. 46
L0A0152b

63
Stored position are recalled only if
the required position is different
from the current one and is not pos-
sible when the car speed exceeds 10
km/h.
Seats can be moved only when the
ignition key is at MARand, for
about 1 minute, also after removing
the key or turning it to STOP: dur-
ing this time, the external rear view
mirrors will not move, but when the
car is started again, they will be
automatically realigned together
with the seat position (see paragraph
“Automatic realignment of external
rear view mirrors”).
If stored seat position recalling is
still in course after this time has
elapsed, recalling will be concluded
in any case.If the engine is started during the
recalling stage, seat moving will be
stopped; once this stage is over the
seat will return automatically to the
stored position.
IMPORTANTPressing any of
memorisation or adjustment buttons
during the recalling stage, causes the
immediate stop of the seat (antipan-
ic mode).
Storing the “parking” position of
the external rear view mirror on
passenger side
You can achieve better visibility
during manoeuvres in reverse gear
(for instance, when parking the car)
by adjusting the external passenger
rear view mirror to a different posi-
tion from the one normally used.
This position can be stored by the
driver.To store the position proceed as
follows:
– with the car stopped and the igni-
tion key at MAR, engage the reverse
gear;
– adjust the position of the external
passenger rear view mirror by means
of the respective controls so as to
obtain the optimum position for the
parking manoeuvre;
– press down for at least 3 seconds
any of buttons “1”, “2” or “3” (fig.
46) used to store/recall the seat posi-
tion;
– together with the “parking” posi-
tion of the external passenger side
rear view mirror, also the seat posi-
tion, the driver rear view mirror
position and the driving position of
the external passenger side rear view
mirror are stored.
A sound signal warns the driver
that the mirror position has been
stored.

Recalling the “parking” position
of the external rear view mirror
on passenger side
To automatically recall the “park-
ing” position of the external passen-
ger rear view mirror, proceed as fol-
lows:
– with the car stopped and the igni-
tion key at MAR, engage the reverse
gear; the mirror will be automatical-
ly brought back to the previously
stored position .
If no “parking” position has been
stored, when engaging reverse the
passenger mirror slightly lowers
than normally to a preset position to
facilitate the driver during parking.
The rear view mirror will automat-
ically return to its initial position
after about 10 seconds from reverse
gear disengagement, or immediately
after exceeding a speed of 10 km/h
with forward gear. IMPORTANTThe “parking” posi-
tion memorisation and recall can
only be performed with ignition key
atMAR.
Automatic realignment
of external rear view mirrors
Every time the ignition key is
turned to MAR, the external rear
view mirrors automatically return to
the latest position reached and/or
recalled before removing the key.
This enables rear view mirror
alignment if, when the car is parked,
one of the rear view mirror has been
manually and/or accidentally
moved.COMFORT SEATS (fig. 47)
ButtonAon front Comfort Seats
enables to actuate the respective con-
trols separately. When pressing the
button of each of the two seats, the

The mirrors are automatically
demisted/defrosted when the heated
rear window is operated.
IMPORTANTRearview mirror
surface is flat to make objects seem
at their actual distance.If the mirrors make it
difficult to get through
narrow gaps and in auto-
matic car washes, fold them from
position 1 to position 2 (fig. 64).Automatic rearview mirror
realignment
Rearview mirror position is stored,
together with the steering wheel
position, when storing the driver’s
seat position. Each time the ignition
key is turned to MAR, rearview mir-
rors return automatically to the last
position reached and/or recalled at
the previous ignition key removal.
This enables rearview mirror align-
ment if, when the car is parked, one
of the rearview mirror has been
manually and/or accidentally
moved.
Storing the “parking” position of
the right-hand rearview mirror
When storing the driver’s seat posi-
tions, it is possible to store also the
“parking” position of the right-hand
rearview mirror. Stored position is
recalled automatically when engag-
ing the reverse gear. For further
