Driver Memory Seat
Storing and recalling can be done with the
ignition in the ON mode, vehicle speed at
0 mph (0 km/h), and the driver’s side door
closed, or for three minutes after having
opened the driver's side door. An audible
chime is heard to confirm a memory
profile is set or recalled. To set a memory
profile, first adjust your seat (and power
mirror position if desired) until you are in
the desired position. Then, push the
memory button you want to assign the
set position to for 1.5 seconds. When a
new seat position is memorized, the
previously memorized position on the
same button is automatically
overwritten. Recalling a memorized
position can also be done for
approximately three minutes after the
doors are opened and for approximately
one minute after the engine is stopped.
To recall a memorized position, push the
assigned button briefly.
Warning!
Adjusting a seat while driving may be
dangerous. Moving a seat while driving
could result in loss of control which could
cause a collision and serious injury or death.
Seats should be adjusted before fastening
the seat belts and while the vehicle is parked.
Serious injury or death could result from a
poorly adjusted seat belt.
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so
that the shoulder belt is no longer resting
against your chest. In a collision you could
slide under the seat belt, which could result
in serious injury or death.
Heated Seats — If Equipped
Note: If your vehicle is equipped with
Sparco Racing Seats, they will not be
equipped with the heated seat feature.
With the engine in the ON position, push
the driver or passenger heated seat
button
located on the instrument
panel.
You can select three heating levels:
Maximum — three LED indicators
illuminated on the buttons.
Average — two LED indicators
illuminated on the buttons.
Minimum — one LED indicator
illuminated on the buttons. After selecting a heating level, heat will
be felt within a few minutes.
A quick push of the heated seat button
will select the heat levels in order of
highest to lowest. A fourth push of the
button will turn the heated seat off.
The “minimum” setting is automatically
deactivated once a certain period of time
has elapsed. This varies on a
case-by-case basis, in accordance with
the specific operating conditions.
Rear Heated Seats
If equipped with rear heated seats, the
controls can be found on the rear of the
center console and will function the same
as the front heated seat controls.
Note:
To preserve the battery charge,
this function cannot be activated when
the engine is off.
Warning!
Persons who are unable to feel pain to
the skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion or other
physical condition must exercise care when
using the seat heater. It may cause burns
even at low temperatures, especially if used
for long periods of time.
Do not place anything on the seat or
seatback that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion. This may cause the
seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat

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.
EXTERIOR LIGHTS
Headlight Switch
The headlight switch is located to the left
of the steering wheel on the instrument
panel. This switch controls the operation
of the headlights, parking lights,
instrument panel lights, instrument panel
light dimming, interior lights and rear fog
lights.
In addition, there are buttons for parking
sensors deactivation and stop/start.
Refer to “Starting And Operating” for
further information.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Page 134 of 260
STARTING THE ENGINE
Before starting the engine, be sure to
adjust the seat, the interior rear view
mirrors, and the door mirrors, and fasten
the seat belt correctly.
Never press the accelerator pedal before
starting the engine.
If necessary, messages indicating the
starting procedure can be shown in the
display.
Warning!
When leaving the vehicle, always 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 transmission 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.
Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat
build-up may cause serious injury or death.
Starting Procedure
Proceed as follows:
1. Apply the electric park brake and set
the gear selector to PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N).
2. Fully depress the brake pedal without
touching the accelerator.
3. Briefly push the ignition button.
4. If the engine doesn't start within a
few seconds, you need to repeat the
procedure.
If the problem persists, contact an
authorized dealer.
Warning!
Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid
into the throttle body air inlet opening in an
attempt to start the vehicle. This could
result in flash fire causing serious personal
injury.
Do not attempt to push or tow your
vehicle to get it started. Vehicles equipped
with an automatic transmission cannot be
started this way. Unburned fuel could enter
the catalytic converter and once the engine
has started, ignite and damage the
converter and vehicle.
If the vehicle has a discharged battery,
booster cables may be used to obtain a
start from a booster battery or the battery
in another vehicle. This type of start can be
dangerous if done improperly. Refer to
“Jump Starting” in “In Case Of Emergency”
for further information.
Caution!
To prevent damage to the starter, do not
continuously crank the engine for more than
25 seconds at a time. Wait 60 seconds
before trying again.
Remote Starting System
This system uses the key fob to start the
engine conveniently from outside the
vehicle while still maintaining security.
The system has a range of at least
300 feet (91 meters).
The remote starting system also
activates the climate control
(if equipped), the heated seats
(if equipped), and the heated steering
wheel (if equipped), depending on
temperatures outside and inside of
the vehicle.
Note:
Obstructions between the vehicle
and key fob may reduce this range.
