the presence of an electronic key near
the doors and the tailgate.
The system enables the doors (or the
tailgate) to be locked/released without
pressing 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 only or
all doors depending on the mode
set using the display menu or
theUconnect™system.
Door lockingTo 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 A fig.
9 on the handle: this will lock all doors
and the tailgate. Door locking will
activate the alarm as well (where
provided).
IMPORTANT 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 vehicle is locked correctly by
pulling the door handle within 2
seconds. The doors will not be
unlocked again.

WARNING
8)Once the Dead Lock system is
engaged, it is impossible to open the
doors from inside the vehicle. Before
getting out of the vehicle, please therefore
check that there is no-one left on board.
9)NEVER leave children unattended inside
the vehicle, nor leave the vehicle with the
doors unlocked in a place that children can
access easily. Children may seriously, or
even fatally, injure themselves. Also ensure
that children do not inadvertently operate
the electric parking brake, the brake pedal
or the automatic transmission lever.
10)Always use this device when carrying
children. After engaging the child lock
on both rear doors, check for proper
engagement by trying to open a rear door
with the internal handle.
WARNING
2)Make sure to take the key with you once
a door or the tailgate is locked, to prevent
locking the same key inside the vehicle.
Once it has been left inside, the key can be
collected only using the second key
supplied.3)The operation of the recognition system
depends on various factors, such as, for
example, any electromagnetic wave
interference from external sources (e.g.
mobile phones), the charge of the battery
in the electronic key and the presence
of metal objects near the key or the vehicle.
In these cases it is still possible to unlock
the doors by using the metal insert in
the electronic key (see description on the
following pages).

Front window anti-pinch safety
device(where provided)
This safety system can recognise the
presence of any obstacle during the
window closing movement. If this
occurs, the system stops the window's
movement and reverts it, depending
on its position. The window then lowers
by about 5 cm in relation to the first
stop position. The window cannot be
operated in any way during this time.Electric window system
initialisationIf power supply is interrupted, the
electric window automatic operation
must be reinitialised.
The initialisation procedure described
below must be carried out with the
doors closed and for each door:
❒close the window by keeping the
button pressed;
❒once the window is completely
closed, keep the button pressed for at
least 3 seconds.
WARNING
21)Incorrect use of the electric windows
may be dangerous. Before and during
operation, always check that nobody
is exposed to the risk of being injured
either directly by the moving window or
through objects getting caught or by being
hit. When leaving the vehicle (equipped
with mechanical key with remote control),
always remove the key from the ignition
device to prevent accidental operation of
the electric windows from being a hazard
for those still on board.

press and release button C fig. 38.
This type of swivel-opening can be
activated irrespective of the position of
the sun roof. When starting with the
roof in closed position, pressing the
button automatically causes its
swivel-opening. If the roof is already
open, the button must be held until the
roof reaches the swivel-opening
position.Pressing button C again during
automatic movement of the roof will
stop it.
ANTI-PINCH DEVICEThe sun roof has an anti-pinch safety
system capable of detecting the
presence of an obstacle during the
closing movement: if this happens, the
system intervenes and the movement
of the roof is immediately reversed
into opening.EMERGENCY OPERATIONIf the control buttons fail to operate, the
sun roof can be moved manually,
proceeding as described below:
❒remove protective cap A fig. 39 on
the internal trim;
❒take Allen key B provided;
❒place Allen key B into housing A;❒turn Allen key B in a clockwise
direction to open the roof or in an
anticlockwise direction to close it.
INITIALISATION
PROCEDUREAfter irregular behaviour of the sun roof
or an emergency manoeuvre (see
description in the previous paragraph),
the automatic operation of the sun
roof must be initialised again.
Proceed as follows:
❒press button A fig. 38 to bring the
roof into completely closed position;
❒bring the ignition device to STOP and
wait at least 10 seconds;
❒bring the ignition device to MAR;
❒hold button A down for at least 10
seconds, then you should hear the
mechanical stop of the roof motor;
❒within 5 seconds hold button A

has been successful). If this does not
occur, the procedure must be restarted

The load platform can be set to 2
different positions:
❒Floor level (low)fig. 47: allows you
to exploit the entire volume of the boot.
❒Threshold level (high)fig. 48: in
conjunction with the lowering of the rear
seat and front passenger side seat
backrests, permits long objects to be
loaded. It also facilitates loading/
unloading of objects in the boot. It also
allows the space underneath (false
bottom) to be used as a further
compartment for stowing objects which
are more fragile or small.
