GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

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.

Homelink — If Equipped
Description
Homelink is a fixed system installed on
the vehicle. It can sync up to three
different devices that activate garage
doors, gates, lighting systems, and
home or office alarm systems.
Programming
Warning!
Vehicle exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run
your vehicle in the garage while
programming the transceiver. Exhaust gas
can cause serious injury or death.
Your motorized door or gate will open
and close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the
transceiver if people, pets or other objects
are in the path of the door or gate. Only
use this transceiver with a garage door
opener that has a “stop and reverse”
feature as required by Federal safety
standards. This includes most garage door
opener models manufactured after 1982.
Do not use a garage door opener without
these safety features. Call toll-free
1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet at
HomeLink.com for safety information or
assistance.

The system warns the driver about the
presence of vehicles in the detection
area by lighting up, on the relevant side,
the warning light located on the door
mirror.
When the engine is started the warning
light turns on to signal the driver that
the system is active.
Sensors
The sensors are activated when any
forward gear is engaged at a speed
higher than approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h) or when reverse is engaged.
The sensors are temporarily deactivated
when the vehicle is stationary and the
PARK (P) mode active.
The detection area of the system
covers approximately a lane on both
sides of the vehicle which is around 9 ft
(3 m).This area begins from the door mirror
and extends for approximately 19 ft
(6 m) towards the rear part of the
vehicle.
When the sensors are active, the
system monitors the detection areas on
both sides of the vehicle and warns the
driver about the possible presence of
vehicles in these areas.
While driving, the system monitors the
detection area from three different input
points (side, rear and front) to check
whether a alert needs to be sent to the
driver. The system can detect the
presence of a vehicle in one of these
three areas.
Note:
The system does not alert the driver
for the presence of fixed object (e.g.
safety barriers, poles, walls, etc.).
However, in some circumstances, the
system may activate in the presence of
these objects. This is normal and does
not indicate a system malfunction.
The system does not alert the driver
about the presence of vehicles coming
from the opposite direction, in the
adjacent lanes.
Warning!
The Blind Spot Monitoring system is only
an aid to help detect objects in the blind
spot zones. The BSM system is not
designed to detect pedestrians, bicyclists,
or animals. Even if your vehicle is equipped
with the BSM system, always check your
vehicle’s mirrors, glance over your
shoulder, and use your turn signal before
changing lanes. Failure to do so can result
in serious injury or death.
Important Notes
If a trailer is hitched to the vehicle, the
system automatically deactivates.
For the system to operate correctly, the
rear bumper area where the radar
sensors are located must stay free from
snow, ice and dirt gathered from the
road surface.
Do not cover the rear bumper area
where the radar sensors are located
with any object (e.g. adhesives, bike
rack, etc.).
If you wish to install the tow hook after
purchasing the vehicle, you need to
deactivate the system via the Connect
system. To access the function, select
the following items in sequence on the
main menu: "Settings", "Safety", and
"Blind Spot Alert".
