Power Folding
With the power mirror control knob in the
neutral position, move it to the power
folding position. Move the knob again to
return the mirrors to the driving position.
If the power mirror control knob is moved
again during door mirror folding (from
closed to open position and vice versa),
the movement direction is reversed.
Automatic Activation
Activating the central door locking
system from outside the vehicle
automatically folds the mirrors. The
mirrors return to the driving position
when the vehicle is then unlocked.
If the door mirrors were folded using the
power mirror control knob, they can only
be returned to the driving position by
rotating the knob again.
Note:The power folding operation can
be enabled only when the vehicle speed is
lower than 31 mph (50 km/h). They can
only be manually controlled up to that
speed.
Automatic Dimming Mirrors
Like the electrochromic mirror, an
automatic dimming feature is also
available on the outside rear view mirrors
to prevent glare. The automatic dimming
button is the same for all rear view mirrors.
Warning!
Vehicles and other objects seen in an outside
convex mirror will look smaller and farther
away than they really are. Relying too much
on side convex mirrors could cause you to
collide with another vehicle or other object.
Use your inside mirror when judging the size
or distance of a vehicle seen in a side convex
mirror.
Heated Mirrors
Push the rear defrostbutton in the
climate controls to activate the heated
mirrors.

is colder than the current outside
temperature. Under certain environmental
conditions, windows could fog up rapidly,
since the air is not dehumidified.

This system enhances driving comfort
while on the highway or out of town with
light traffic.
If the sensor does not detect a vehicle
ahead, the system will maintain a fixed
set speed.
If the sensor detects a vehicle ahead, the
system automatically intervenes by
braking (or accelerating) slightly in order
not to exceed the original set speed, so
that the vehicle keeps the preset
distance, seeking to adapt to the speed
of the vehicle ahead.
Note:
Adaptive Cruise Control
performance is not guaranteed under the
following circumstances, and it is
recommended to turn the system off
when:
Driving in fog, heavy rain, or snow.
Driving in heavy traffic or
construction zones.
Driving on icy, snowy, slippery roads,
roads with steep climbs and descents, or
roads with numerous turns and bends.
Entering a turn lane.
When circumstances do not allow
safe driving at a constant speed.
Warning!
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a
convenience system. It is not a substitute
for active driving involvement. It is always
the driver’s responsibility to be attentive
of road, traffic, and weather conditions,
vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead;
and, most importantly, brake operation to
ensure safe operation of the vehicle under
all road conditions. Your complete attention
is always required while driving to maintain
safe control of your vehicle. Failure to follow
these warnings can result in a collision and
death or serious personal injury.
The ACC system:
Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming
vehicles, and stationary objects (e.g., a
stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled
vehicle).
Cannot take street, traffic, and weather
conditions into account, and may be limited
upon adverse sight distance conditions.
Does not always fully recognize complex
driving conditions, which can result in wrong
or missing distance warnings.
Will bring the vehicle to a complete stop
while following a target vehicle and hold the
vehicle for approximately 3 minutes in the
stop position. If the target vehicle does not
start moving within 3 minutes the parking
brake will be activated, and the ACC system
will be canceled.
You should switch off the ACC system:
When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy
snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex
driving situations (i.e., in highway
construction zones).
When entering a turn lane or highway off
ramp; when driving on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or have
steep uphill or downhill slopes.
When circumstances do not allow safe
driving at a constant speed.
Activation/Deactivation
The system has four operating states:
Enabled (speed not set)
Activated (speed set)
Paused
Deactivated
Enabling/Activating
To enable the system, push and release
the
button located on the left side on
the steering wheel.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING
(LDW) SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
Description
The Lane Departure Warning system uses
a forward looking camera located on the
windshield to detect lane markings and
measure vehicle position within the lane
boundaries.
When one or both lane limits are detected
and the vehicle passes over one without
an activated turn signal, the system emits
a visual as well as an audible signal.
If the vehicle continues to go beyond the
line of the lane without any intervention
from the driver, the surpassed line will
light up on the display (left or right) to
urge the driver to bring the vehicle back
into the limits of the lane.
Caution!
Do not tamper with nor operate on the
camera. Do not close the openings in the
aesthetic cover located under the interior
rear view mirror. In the event of a failure of
the camera, contact your authorized dealer.
The camera may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow,
formation of ice layers on the windshield.
Camera operation may also be
compromised by the presence of dust,
condensation, dirt or ice on the windshield, by traffic conditions (e.g. vehicles that are
driving not aligned with yours, vehicle
driving in a transverse or opposite way on
the same lane, bend with a small radius of
curvature), by road surface conditions and
by driving conditions (e.g. off-road driving).
Make sure the windshield is always clean.
Use specific detergents and clean cloths to
avoid scratching the windshield. The camera
operation may also be limited or absent in
some driving, traffic and road surface
conditions.
If the windshield must be replaced due to
scratches, chipping or breakage, contact
exclusively your authorized dealer. Do not
replace the windshield on your own. It is
advisable to replace the windshield if it is
damaged in the area of the camera.
System Activation/Deactivation
The system is activated/deactivated by
pushing the button located on the end of
the multifunction lever. Note:
When the engine is started, the
system maintains the operating mode
that was selected when it was turned
OFF.
Activation Conditions
Once turned on, the system becomes
active only if the following conditions are
met:
The vehicle speed is above 37 mph
(60 km/h).
The lane limit lines are visible at least
on one side.
There are suitable visibility conditions.
The road is straight or with wide radius
bends.
A suitable distance is kept from the
vehicle in front.
The turn signal is not active.
