GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Warning!
Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat
build-up may cause serious injury or death.
For personal security and safety in the
event of a collision, lock the vehicle doors as
you drive as well as when you park and leave
the vehicle.
Before exiting a vehicle, always shift the
automatic transmission into PARK, apply
the parking brake, turn the engine OFF,
remove the key fob from the vehicle and
lock your vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle
unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously
or fatally injured. Children should be warned
not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal
or the gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to children.
A child could operate power windows, other
controls, or move the vehicle.
Caution!
An unlocked vehicle is an invitation. Always
remove the key from the ignition and lock all
of the doors when leaving the vehicle
unattended.

hand on one of the front door handles. If
the detected key fob is valid, the doors
and the trunk lid are unlocked (refer to
the Information and Entertainment
System Owner’s Manual Supplement for
Passive Entry Settings).
Note:
The key fob may not be able to be
detected by the vehicle keyless-go
system if it is located next to a mobile
phone, laptop or other electronic device;
these devices may block the key fob’s
wireless signal and prevent the
keyless-go system from starting the
vehicle.
Grasping the handle of the driver's door
unlocks the driver's side door, or all doors
depending on the mode set using the
Information and Entertainment System
(refer to the Information and
Entertainment System Owner’s Manual
Supplement for Passive Entry Settings).
Note: If wearing gloves, or if it has rained
and the door handle is wet, the activation
sensitivity of the Passive Entry function
may be reduced, resulting in a longer
reaction time.

The feature is especially useful for road
splash or over spray from the windshield
washers of the vehicle ahead. Rotate the
end of the multifunction 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 cycle the ignition
to STOP.
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 or not there is
rain on the glass for as long as 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 on for as long as the
sensor is active.

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.

Air Recirculation And Air Quality
System (AQS)
Air Recirculation is managed according to
the following operating mode:
Automatic engagement: indicator is
illuminated above the “A” on the Air
Recirculation Button
Forced activation (air circulation
always activated): indicator illuminated
above the
icon on the Air
Recirculation Button
Forced deactivation (air recirculation
always off with intake of outside air):
both indicators not illuminated on the Air
Recirculation Button
The three operating conditions are
obtained by pushing the Air Recirculation
Button
in sequence. Enabling The Air Quality System (AQS)
Function — If Equipped
When the automatic recirculation
function is selected, the AQS function
automatically activates internal air
recirculation when the outside air is
polluted (e.g. in heavy traffic and tunnels).
At low external temperatures or in high
humidity, the automatic function turns
off to avoid fogging up the windows.
The user can select the function again by
pushing the Air Recirculation Button.
In
automatic operation, air recirculation
will be controlled by the system according
to outside environmental conditions.
Note:
With the AQS function active and
after the internal air recirculation
system has been functioning for a set
amount of time, the Climate Control
System enables air intake to cycle the
air in the passenger compartment for a
set time. The AQS function is disabled
during the air changes.
The engagement of the recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the
required heating or cooling conditions
faster. It is, however, inadvisable to use
it on rainy/cold days as it can increase
the possibility of the windows fogging.
When the outside temperature is low,
recirculation is forced off to prevent the
windows from fogging up.

A/C Compressor
Push the A/C button to activate or
deactivate the A/C compressor (indicator
illuminated when activated). The A/C
compressor will remain off even after the
engine has stopped.
When the A/C compressor is turned off,
the system deactivates air recirculation
to prevent the windows from fogging up.
If the climate control system can
maintain the temperature, with the A/C
turned off, the AUTO feature will remain
on and the AUTO button indicator light
will not switch off.
To restore automatic control of the A/C
compressor, push the A/C button or the
AUTO button. With the A/C compressor
off, the air speed can be set manually
using the Air Speed Adjustment Knob.
When the A/C compressor is on, and the
engine is running, air speed cannot be
lower than the minimum speed (only one
indicator light is lit).
Note:
When the A/C is off the Climate
Control system can not produce air that
is colder than the current outside
temperature. Under certain environmental
conditions, windows could fog up rapidly,
since the air is not dehumidified.
