ENGINE
IMMOBILIZER
Engine Immobilizer
Operation
The Engine Immobilizer system
prevents unauthorized use of the
vehicle by disabling engine starting.
The system does not need to be
enabled or activated. Operation of the
immobilizer is automatic whether the
vehicle's doors are locked or unlocked.
When the ignition is set to ON, the
Engine Immobilizer system identifies the
code transmitted by the key. If the code
is recognized as valid, the Engine
Immobilizer system enables engine
starting.
When the ignition is brought back to
STOP, the Engine Immobilizer system
deactivates the control unit controlling
the engine, disabling engine starting.
For the correct engine starting
procedures, refer to “Starting The
Engine” in “Starting And Operating.”
Irregular Operation
If the key code is not correctly
recognized during starting, the Engine
Immobilizer Failure/Break-in Attempt
icon is displayed on the instrument
panel (refer to "Warning Lights And
Messages" in "Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel"). This condition leads
to the engine turning off after two
seconds. In this case, switch the
ignition to STOP and then to ON; if it is

still blocked, try with the other keys
provided. If it is still not possible to start
the engine, contact an authorized
dealer.
If the Engine Immobilizer
Failure/Break-in Attempt
icon is
displayed while driving, this means that
the system is running a self-diagnosis
(e.g. due to a voltage drop). If the
display persists, contact an authorized
dealer.
Important Notes
Do not tamper with the Engine
Immobilizer system. Any modifications
or alterations could cause the
protection function to be deactivated.
The Engine Immobilizer system is not
compatible with certain aftermarket
remote starting systems. The use of
these devices could cause problems
when starting, as well as the
deactivation of the protection function.
All keys provided with the vehicle
have been programmed in accordance
with the electronics on the vehicle itself.
Each key has its own code which
must be stored by the system's control
unit. Contact an authorized dealer to
have new keys (up to eight) stored with
a code.

Warning!
Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision. You
might not see other vehicles or other
obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the
windshield during freezing weather, warm
the windshield with the defroster before
and during windshield washer use.
Rain Sensor
The Rain Sensor is located behind the
interior rear view mirror. This feature
senses moisture on the windshield and
automatically activates the wipers for
the driver.
The feature is especially useful for road
splash or over spray from the
windshield washers of the vehicle
ahead. Rotate the end of themultifunction lever to one of four
settings to activate this feature.
The sensor has an adjustment range
that varies progressively from wiper still
(no stroke) when the windshield is dry,
to wiper at continuous speed (fast
operation) with intense rain.
Activation
Rotating the wiper switch to position
oractivates the rain sensor.
The activation of the rain sensor system
is done by tapping the wiper stalk
upwards while the switch is in the
orposition.
The variation in sensitivity during rain
sensor operation is also signaled by a
stroke of the wiper (command acquired
and implemented). This stroke is also
executed with the windshield dry.
If the windshield washer is used with
the rain sensor activated, the normal
washing cycle is performed, after which
the rain sensor resumes its normal
automatic operation.
Note: Keep the glass in the sensor
area clean.
Deactivation
Use the wiper switch or turn the ignition
to STOP.
If the ignition is moved to the STOP
position and the wiper switch is left in
orposition, no wiping cycle will
occur even if it rains when the vehicle is
next started (ignition at ON). This prevents accidental activation of
the rain sensor when the engine is
started (e.g. when the windshield is
being washed by hand or the wipers
are stuck to the windshield by ice).
You can restore the automatic
functioning of the rain sensor by lifting
the windshield wiper control (anti-panic
function).
When the rain sensor is reactivated
using any of the functions described
above, reactivation is indicated by a
single tap of the windshield wipers,
regardless of the condition of the
windshield.
In the event of malfunction of the rain
sensor while it is active, the windshield
wiper operates intermittently at a speed
consistent with the sensitivity setting of
the rain sensor, whether there is rain on
the glass, while the sensor failure is
indicated on the display.
The sensor continues to operate and it
is possible to set the windshield wiper
to continuous mode
or.The
failure indication remains for as long as
the sensor is active.
The rain sensor is able to recognize and
automatically adjust itself in the
presence of the following conditions:
Presence of dirt on the controlled
surface (e.g. salt, dirt, etc.).
Presence of streaks of water caused
by the worn window wiper blades.
Difference between day and night.
