RECOGNITION
SYSTEM (KEYLESS
SYSTEM)

(where provided)

The Keyless System is a recognition

system controlled by device A
(fig. 17), called CID (Customer
Identification Device), which per-
forms the same functions as the key
provided with the remote control
supplied with the car. It does not
require any manual action since it
identifies the person that holds the
device as the owner of the car.

Therefore, it is enough for the dri-

ver to bring the CID device with

himself so that the car can recognize
him, allowing him to get into the car
and start the engine without having
to use the key.

In any case, the CID device is

equipped with three buttons per-
forming the same functions as the
ordinary radio-frequency remote
control that enable the driver to
remotely operate on the car.
Moreover, it includes the key for the
mechanical emergency actuation of
the boot and door locks (in case the
CID device battery or the car battery
are run down). 

The buttons perform the following

functions (fig. 18):

– button for remote actuation of

central door opening and the simul-

taneous switching off of the elec-
tronic alarm

– button for remote actuation of

central door locking, boot locking
and the simultaneous switching on
of the electronic alarm

– button for remote tailgate

opening

– led (where required) to indi-

cate code sending to the electronic
alarm system receiver.

To remove emergency key F

(fig. 19), take off cover (fig. 20)
by levering at point H.

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.

IMPORTANT The 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.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

46

IMPORTANT Do not remove the

battery from the CID device until
when its replacement is possible. 

Where system is unable to identify

the CID device (e.g. the CID battery
is flat) the car can be accessed by
using the emergency key existing
inside the CID itself. 

When switched on, the alarm sys-

tem will be actuated when the door
is opened and the siren will start
sounding but will be switched off by
turning the starting knob to MAR.

Car start-up will moreover be possi-

ble by positioning the CID into the
special seat (fig. 21), located in
front of the gear lever. Under these
conditions, such compartment is the
only position capable of acknowledg-
ing the presence of a CID device
inside the passenger compartment.

fig. 21

L0A0182b

It is advised to always

carry about with you the
CID device, avoiding to

leave it unguarded inside the
passenger compartment, because
in this case any children remain-
ing unguarded inside the car or
unauthorised people could start
the engine.

Do not expose the CID

device to electromagnetic
fields or high-intensity

radio frequency sources, to avoid
operation anomalies. Heavy
shocks or exposure to direct sun-
light could damage the electronic
components of the device. 

IMPORTANT Do not lay the CID

device outside the car on the sunroof,
to avoid a fake identification of the
CID itself as if inside the car. It is rec-
ommend to carry about with you the
CID device (e.g. into a pocket). 

“GARAGE” POSITION
(EMERGENCY ACTUATION)

During emergency or servicing

operations, the CID device shall be
housed in the dashboard central
oddment compartment (fig. 21) in
front of the gear lever.

The electronic component in the

CID device is of the “passive” type
and does not require dedicated
power supply; it can therefore oper-
ate in “garage” position even if the
CID device battery is run down. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

47

For an emergency engine start up

proceed as follows: 

– Lay the CID device into the emer-

gency seat (fig. 21)

– Push on the clutch pedal (manual

gearbox versions) or on the brake
pedal (automatic gearbox versions)

– To turn on the instrument panel,

turn knob (fig. 22) to position
MAR.

To start engine, turn the knob A

(fig. 22) to position AVV, and release
as soon as the engine is started. 

When the car is running, the

engine gets going even if the CID
device has been removed from the
“garage” position. In any case, the
CID device will have to be put back
to the “garage” position for subse-
quent start-up.

IMPORTANT Set free from any

object compartment (fig. 21),
before starting the emergency engine
start-up procedure. 

IMPORTANT Remember to carry

about with you the CID device
before moving away from the car. 

KNOB FOR ACTUATING
INSTRUMENT PANEL 
AND ENGINE START-UP 

The car is fitted with a switch con-

trolled by knob (fig. 22), enabling
to actuate STOPMAR and AVV
starter motor switch functions.

IMPORTANT Knob rotation is

enabled by the presence of the CID
device in the car and by the pressing
of the clutch pedal (or the brake pedal
for cars with automatic transmission).

STOP position

This position of the switch knob

corresponds to: engine off and steer-
ing column lock on. Certain electri-
cal devices (e.g. CONNECT) can be
operated.

MAR position

This is the running position and

corresponds to: instrument panel on
and steering column lock off. All the
electrical devices can be operated.

AVV position

This is the position for engine

start-up: release the knob as soon as
the engine has started. The engine
can be started only when the CID
device is inside the car.

IMPORTANT System checks for

the presence of a CID device inside
the passenger compartment, when-
ever a door or the luggage compart-
ment are closed, while the instru-
ment panel is turned on or the
engine is running. If the CID device
is not identified, e.g. because the
CID owner leaves the car, the dis-
play on the instrument panel will
display the message: “ELECTRON-
IC KEY NO LONGER PRESENT IN
THE CAR – ENGINE CANNOT BE
RESTARTED”. The engine will
keep on running and instrument
panel will remain on, until the suc-

fig. 22

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

48

Before leaving the car in

a car-wash tunnel, disen-
gage the parking brake by

following the instructions
described in the relevant para-
graph, and leave the CID device
inside the passenger compart-
ment, to avoid automatic steering
column lock.

IMPORTANT User is not authorised

to move the car if the start-up knob is
not turned to the position MAR.
Should it be necessary to tow the car,
it is advised to turn the knob to the
MAR position before moving the car.

Steering column unlocking

The steering column is automati-

cally switched off, and the instru-
ment panel and electrical services
switched on, when the system
detects the simultaneous presence of
the following conditions:

cessive rotation of knob (fig. 22)
to the STOP position, and it will not
be possible to restart the car until a
valid CID device is identified inside
the passenger compartment. 

IMPORTANT Make sure the CID

device is not positioned in places dif-
ficult to be accessed by the identifi-
cation system, such as the instru-
ment panel, the car floor or the shelf
below the rear window. Some elec-
tronic devices (e. g. mobile phones,
PDA, etc.) can moreover influence
the CID device identification. In the
case where, after a start-up opera-
tion, the message “ELECTRONIC
KEY NOT IDENTIFIED” should be
displayed, on the instrument panel,
make sure make sure whether the
CID is present into the passenger
compartment and it is located in
places tat can be reached by identi-
fication system. 

IMPORTANT If the CID device is

inside the luggage compartment, it is
possible that the engine could not be
started.

Engine stop

To switch the engine off, turn the

knob from MAR to STOP: the
engine will stop and the instrument
panel will display the message
“STEERING LOCKED WHEN
DOORS CLOSED”. 

Steering column locking

The steering column lock is auto-

matically switched on by actuating
door closing by means of the remote
control, if the system has detected
the simultaneous presence of the fol-
lowing conditions:

– engine off (knob rotation to

STOP with the car at a standstill)

– clutch pedal released (brake pedal

released on versions with automatic
transmission).

IMPORTANT The steering column

lock is not switched on when the
door locks are actuated by means of
the emergency key in the CID
device, or automatically when the
CID device is taken away from the
car.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

49

– CID device inside the car

– clutch pedal depressed (brake

pedal on versions with automatic
transmission).

IMPORTANT If the car battery is

run down, the steering column can-
not be unlocked and the car cannot
be started. In this case, an auxiliary
battery must be connected, in order
to unlock the steering column and
start the engine (see paragraph
“Jump starting”); then, contact a
Lancia Dealership to have the bat-
tery recharged.

DOOR UNLOCKING 
TO ACCESS CAR

To perform door unlocking, push on

button (fig. 23 front doors - 
fig. 24 rear doors) in the inside part
of handles. The Keyless System iden-
tifies the CID device, deactivates the
electronic alarm system and operates
the door/s unlocking mechanism.
Leds on door panels will be lit to a
green colour to notice unlocking. 

It is possible to set unlocking of dri-

ver’s door only or the contemporary
unlocking of all the doors, by the set-
tings on CONNECT (see the following
paragraph “System Settings”). If “dri-
ver’s door unlocking” is set, it will be
possible to access the passenger com-
partment only through this door; to
unlock the other doors push on but-
ton (fig. 18) on CID device.

fig. 23

L0A0334b

IMPORTANT If car or CID device

batteries are flat, to unlock the door
lock it is necessary to operate on the
revolving plug with the emergency
key (fig. 19).

IMPORTANT If the door lock has

been closed with the emergency key F
(fig. 19), Keyless System functions
will temporarily disabled. These func-
tions will automatically be restored at
the next unlocking by pushing button
(fig. 18) on the CID device or after
the unlocking with the emergency key
(fig. 19).

AUTOCLOSE FUNCTION 
(AUTOMATIC LOCKING 
OF DOORS, BOOT, 
AND FUEL FILLER FLAP)

The Keyless System automatically

locks the boot and door locks when
the owner goes away with the CID
device at least 4 metres far from the
car. Boot and door locking is con-
firmed by the flashing of direction
indicators.

This function can be switched off

by acting on the CONNECT settings.

The Autoclose function is not actu-

ated in the following cases:

– If, when the driver moves away

from the car, one or several doors are
not closed correctly, automatic lock-
ing will not be actuated and the car
doors and boot will remain open: the
owner is warned of this by the failed
blinking of direction indicators.

– If at the time of moving away,

other CID devices are identified as
existing in the car passenger com-
partment or in the luggage compart-
ment, or if the knob is not set to the
STOP position (instrument panel
turned on or engine started).

LOCKING THE DOOR AND
LEAVING THE CAR (with the
identification system disabled)

To lock doors when system func-

tions are disabled, proceed as fol-
lows:

– Close all the doors and the lug-

gage compartment bonnet

– Push on button (fig. 18) on

CID device to engage central locking
of doors, of luggage compartment
and of electronic alarm.

Leds on door panels will lit for

approx. 3 seconds in red colour and
then they will start flashing with
deterring function.

If one or more doors are not cor-

rectly closed, leds will start flashing
for 3 seconds instead of being lit
with a fixed light. After flashing for
3 seconds, leds will anyhow be
turned out, except for that on the
driver’s door, which will start flash-
ing with a deterring function. 

TAILGATE OPENING 

If the boot shall be opened from

outside, with the doors locked, it is
enough to get near the boot with the
CID device and press the boot but-
ton: the boot lock will release and
the boot will be opened while the
doors remain locked. If the alarm
system is on, the boot protection,
volumetric protection and anti-lift-
ing protection will be temporarily
excluded.

When the boot is reclosed, it will

have to be locked by pressing the
door locking button on the CID
device, which will resume the alarm
protection, too.

IMPORTANT Before closing the

luggage compartment bonnet, make
sure you always have with yourself
the CID device.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

51

The alarm system, the

steering lock and the
deadlock device are not

actuated by the automatic lock-
ing function.

IMPORTANT Purpose of Autoclose

function is to lock doors, luggage
compartment and fuel filler flap when
owner possessing the CID device,
moves away from the car. In this case
(Autoclose function on), push on but-
ton (fig. 18) on CID to unlock fuel
filler flap in order to refuel.

– If there is a fault in the identifi-

cation system (Keyless System).

– If the CID device battery is flat.

– If the last engine start-up was

performed with the CID device in
the emergency position.

IMPORTANT

– If, after locking the locks, a door

is opened from inside the car, all the
locks will be unlocked.

– If central door opening has been

activated by pressing the CID but-
ton, the Autoclose function (auto-
matic locking) will not be activated.
To activate central locking, press the
relevant button on the CID device.

– When the Autoclose function on,

before leaving the car, make sure
you always have with yourself the
CID device.

The Autoclose function can be

influenced by the presence of elec-
tromagnetic noises; in these cases
lock the doors with the remote con-
trol or use the door locks. 

CENTRAL LOCKING/OPENING
OF WINDOWS AND SUNROOF

When central door locking is

switched on/off, also the central
locking/opening of the windows and
the sunroof can be controlled, pro-
vided that all the doors are properly
closed.

To actuate central locking of the

windows and the sunroof, keep the
remote control button (fig. 25)
depressed for more than 2 seconds
after closing the doors: both the win-
dow regulators and the sunroof will
be actuated until they are fully
closed or until the button is released.

fig. 25

L0A0253b

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

52

The other recognition system set-

tings that can be enabled/disabled
are:

– automatic locking of doors and

boot.

As regards the setting of the recog-

nition system customizations, refer
to the CONNECT supplement.

FAILURE INDICATION

The presence of anomalies in the

Keyless System is indicated by the
lighting of symbol 

Y on the instru-

ment display, together with the mes-
sage “VEHICLE PROTECTION
SYSTEM FAULT”. 

IMPORTANT In case of fault, con-

tact your Lancia Dealership.

Before and during auto-

matic actuation of the
window regulators and

sunroof, always make sure that
the passengers and the persons
standing near the car are not
exposed to the risk of injures that
may be caused either by the mov-
ing windows and sunroof or by
objects dragged or hit by the
same.

To actuate central opening of the

windows and sunroof, keep the
remote control button (fig. 25)
depressed for more than 2 seconds
after opening the doors: both the win-
dow regulators and the sunroof will be
actuated until they are fully opened or
until the button is released.

This function can be used to aerate

the passenger’s compartment before
getting into the car parked in the sun.

IMPORTANT Do not lay the CID

device outside the car on the sunroof,
to avoid a fake identification of the
CID itself as if inside the car. It is rec-
ommend to carry about with you the
CID device (e.g. into a pocket). 

SYSTEM SETTINGS

The CONNECT enables to cus-

tomize certain functions of the
Keyless System recognition system,
through the settings that can be
selected on the CONNECT display.

The “central unlock” and “driver’s

door unlock” functions of the central
locking can be set also for the
Keyless System and operate as fol-
lows:

– central unlock: all the car doors

are unlocked simultaneously and
access is possible through every door

– driver’s door unlock: access is

possible through the driver’s door
whereas the other doors remain
locked, thus preventing un-autho-
rized persons from getting into the
car. In this case, the led on the dri-
ver’s door panel lights up (green
colour) whereas the leds on the other
doors remain off.

When “unlocking driver’s door” is

set, it is anyhow possible to unlock all
the doors, to enable access to passen-
gers, by pushing button (fig. 18) on
CID device or, after opening the dri-
ver’s door, by pushing the central
unlock button existing on the door
panel.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

53

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL
CID DEVICES

The Keyless System receiver can

recognize up to 4 CID devices.

If you have requested additional

CID devices, remember that the pro-
gramming operation must be carried
out simultaneously for all the CID
devices.

Therefore, should a new CID

device be necessary for whatever
reason, go to your Lancia
Dealership
, bringing with you all
the keys and CID devices in your
possession, the CODE card, your ID
card and the documents that certify
car possession.

MINISTERIAL HOMOLOGATION

In the respect of the legislation in

force in each country in the matter
of radio-frequency devices, please
note that for markets where trans-
mitter marking is requested, the
homologation number is printed on
the CID device.

The code marking may also be

printed on the CID and/ or the
receiver for versions/markets where
this is required.

Used batteries pollute

the environment. Dispose
of them in the special

containers as specified by current
legislation. Keep batteries away
from open flames and high tem-
peratures. Keep away from chil-
dren.

CID DEVICE 
BATTERY REPLACEMENT

If the CID device battery is almost

flat, system performance worsens. In
this case, the battery must replaced
with a new one of the same type that
can be purchased at common stores.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

54

DOORS

fig. 29

L0A0174b

Before opening a door,

check whether this opera-
tion can be performed

under safety conditions.

OPENING/CLOSING FROM THE
OUTSIDE

With the doors closed, either press

button or (fig. 29) on the key grip
or insert and turn the key (fig. 30) in
one of the front doors.

IMPORTANT Although the pres-

ence of electromagnetic waves is not
harmful to the CID device, it can nev-
ertheless influence battery life cycle.
Avoid therefore to leave the CID for a
long time near electronic devices (e.g.
PC monitors, TV sets, etc.).

IMPORTANT Electronic devices

(e.g. mobile phones, PDA, etc.) can
influence the correct identification
of the CID device by the Keyless
System. It is advised to keep the CID
device apart from such devices, e.g.
into different pockets.

To replace the battery:

– remove the small cover (fig. 26)

by levering at point B

– take out the emergency key C

(fig. 27)

– replace the battery (fig. 28)

inserting it with the pole (+) facing
upwards

– refit the emergency key

– refit the small cover by pressing it.

IMPORTANT It is advised to avoid

touching the electric contacts exist-
ing inside the CID and to prevent
their contact with liquids or dust.

To unlock, turn the key clockwise

1; to lock, turn the key counter-
clockwise 2.

When the doors are released by

means of the remote control, the
alarm system and the deadlock
device (described below) are also
switched off. 

IMPORTANT

The electronic

alarm will not be switched off if the
door is unlocked by the key in the
lock.

Inside each handle there is a button

(fig. 31 front doors - fig. 32 rear
doors) which actuates, when the
handle is caught, the servo control
used to open the door.

The car is fitted with power locks

that control the mechanical parts at
door opening.

In an emergency (flat battery or

electric system failure), doors can be
opened, with the locks released, by
pressing button (fig. 31 front
doors - fig. 32 rear doors).

All door panels incorporate a

red/green led (fig. 33 front doors -
fig. 34 rear doors) , indicating the
locking/unlocking condition. The
leds come on with red light for about
3 seconds after door locking and
with green light after unlocking.

IMPORTANT Door leds stay on

for about 3 seconds only; therefore,
leds are off under normal conditions.

fig. 33

L0A6013b

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

56

Deadlock device

The deadlock device enables to dis-

connect mechanically the internal
door handles; in this case, doors can-
not be opened from the inside by
acting on the handles after breaking
the glass (improving protection
against theft).

The device can be switched on by

pressing the remote control button B
(fig. 29) again within 1 second after
closing the doors: active function
will be indicated by a beep and 2
further blinks of the direction indi-
cators.

The device activates only if all the

doors are properly closed.

When the deadlock device is

switched on, the door panel leds will
flash twice with red light.

After activating the dead

lock device it will be
impossible to get out of

the passenger compartment: for
this reason this device must be
activated only after making sure
that the passenger compartment
is empty.

The front door leds are also used as

deterrent leds for the alarm system;
as a consequence, they will flash
when the alarm system is on or the
doors are locked.

The CONNECT enables to set the

central locking of all the doors or
only the driver’s door.

In the former case, all the car doors

are unlocked simultaneously and
access is possible through any door.
In the second case, access is possible
only through the driver’s door,
whereas the other doors are locked,
thus preventing un-authorized per-
sons from getting into the car.

In this case, the driver’s door led

comes on with green light, whereas
the leds on the other doors will
remain off.

When only the driver’s door is

unlocked, after opening the driver’s
door, also the other doors can be
unlocked by pressing the central
unlocking button (fig. 35) so as to
enable passengers getting into the
car.

IMPORTANT Buttons and C

(fig. 35) are disabled when the doors
are locked from the outside.

If, when the doors are closed from

the outside, one or more doors
and/or the boot are not closed cor-
rectly, the direction indicators will
flash rapidly for a few seconds.

OPENING/CLOSING FROM 
THE INSIDE

To open the door even when the

lock is locked, pull handle (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:

– button for unlocking;

– button for locking.

The red/green leds (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.

fig. 36

L0A0052b

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 STOP or 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”.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disabling rear door
locking/unlocking controls

To disable rear door locking/un-

locking controls, press the driver's
door button (fig. 37) for more than
one second. When controls are off, the
button warning light will come on.

To restore controls, press button A

again. When controls are enabled, the
button warning light is off.

CHILD LOCK

To prevent opening the rear doors

from the inside.

Engage by inserting the tip of the ig-

nition key in (fig. 38) to turn the
lock.

Position - engaged.

Position - disengaged.

The device will be engaged even if

the doors are unlocked by means of
the centralised system.

IMPORTANT After engaging the

lock, check by trying to open a rear
door with the internal handle. 

fig. 37

L0A0100b

Always use the lock when

transporting children. This
will prevent them opening

a door by themselves when travel-
ling.

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKING
WHEN SPEED EXCEEDS 
20 KM/H

The CONNECT enables to set

automatic locking of doors, boot and
fuel cap when the car speed exceeds
20 km/h.

To actuate these settings, refer to

the CONNECT supplement provid-
ed with the car.

AUTOCLOSE FUNCTION 
(AUTOMATIC LOCKING 
WITH KEYLESS SYSTEM
RECOGNITION SYSTEM)

On versions equipped with Keyless

System, the “Autoclose” function
can be actuated/deactivated through
the CONNECT settings. This func-
tion makes it possible to automati-
cally lock the boot and doors when
the CID device is taken away from
the car.

When leaving the car, if one or

more doors are not closed correctly,
the car will remain open and a fur-
ther beep will sound to indicate that
the locks have not been locked. 

The “Autoclose” functions actuates

neither the alarm system nor the
door deadlock device (refer to the
contents of the relevant paragraph).
In any case, these functions can be
actuated by means of the remote
control.

LOCK RELEASE IN CASE OF
ACCIDENT

In case of collision with actuation

of the inertia switch, the door locks
are automatically released to allows
rescuers to get access to the passen-
ger compartment.

In any case, door open-

ing from the outside
depends on the door con-

ditions after the collision:
deformed doors cannot very often
be opened even if the lock is
released. In such a case, try to
open the other doors.

INITIALISING THE DOOR
LOCKING CONTROL UNIT

Whenever the battery is electrically

connected again or it is reloaded
after being completely flat or after
replacing one of the protection fuses,
to restore the correct operation of
the door locking, of air conditioning
and of ESP system, it is necessary to
perform the initialisation operations
contained in the paragraph “If bat-
tery is to be disconnected” in the
chapter “In an emergency”. 

The external mechanical

connections are active
only when the doors are

unlocked.

In the event that the driver has

actuated central locking from the
inside and, after a collision, the
inertia switch has not actuated
the automatic door unlocking
function due to the loss of or
damage to the battery, access to
the passenger compartment will
not be possible from the outside.
