STARTING AND OPERATING
STARTING THE ENGINE
Before starting the engine, be sure to adjust
the seat, the interior rear view mirror, 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 will be shown in the display.
Starting Procedure
Proceed as follows:
1. Apply the Electric Park Brake and set thegear selector to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
2. Fully press 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 proce -
dure.
If the problem persists, contact an authorized
dealer.
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, 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.
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 unat -
tended 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 chil -
dren. 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.
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

Ú
page 199. This type of
start can be dangerous if done improperly.

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.

When the conditions shown in the “Acti -
vating Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)”
section occur
Ú
page 109
Limited Operation Warning
If the dedicated message is shown on the
display, a condition limiting the Adaptive
Cruise Control operation may have occurred.
This could be due to an obstruction of the
vehicle’s sensor or camera. It could also be
due to a fault in the system. If an obstruction
is detected, clean the area of the windshield
opposite the interior rearview mirror, where
the camera is located, as well as the area of
the front bumper where the sensor is located.
Then check that the message has disap -
peared. When the conditions limiting the system func
-
tions end, normal operation will resume.
Should the fault persist, contact an authorized
dealer.
Precautions While Driving With ACC
In certain driving situations, ACC may have
detection issues. In these cases, ACC may
brake late or unexpectedly. The driver needs
to stay alert and may need to intervene. The
following are examples of these types of situa -
tions:
Offset Driving
ACC may not detect a vehicle in the same lane
that is offset from your direct line of travel, or
a vehicle merging in from a side lane. There
may not be sufficient distance to the vehicle
ahead. The offset vehicle may move in and out
of the line of travel, which can cause your
vehicle to brake or accelerate unexpectedly.
Turns And Bends
When driving on a curve with ACC engaged,
the system may increase or decrease the
vehicle speed for stability, with no vehicle
ahead detected. Once the vehicle is out of the
curve the system will resume your original set
speed. This is a part of normal ACC system
functionality.
NOTE:

On tight turns ACC performance may be
limited. In this case, it is advisable to deac
-
tivate the system.
The system only limits the speed DURING a
bend and not BEFORE it.
Turn Or Bend Example
Using ACC On Hills
When driving on hills, ACC may not detect a
vehicle in your lane. Depending on speed,
vehicle load, traffic conditions, and the steep -
ness of the hills, ACC performance may be
limited.

NOTE:

The driver must maintain control of the
vehicle, remain alert, and be ready to apply the
brakes if needed.

ParkSense System Usage Precautions

NOTE:

Some conditions may influence the perfor-
mance of the ParkSense system:
Reduced sensor sensitivity could be due to
the presence of ice, snow, mud, or thick
paint on the surface of the sensor.
The sensors may detect a false obstacle
(echo interference) due to mechanical inter -
ference, for example when washing the
vehicle or in extreme weather.
The signals sent by the sensors can be
altered by the presence of ultrasonic
systems (e.g. pneumatic brake systems of
trucks or pneumatic drills) near the vehicle.
System performance can be influenced by
the position of the sensors. For example,
due to a change in the ride setting (caused
by wear to the shock absorbers or suspen -
sion), by changing tires, overloading the
vehicle or operations that require the
vehicle to be lowered.
Be sure not to place bumper stickers or
other adhesives over the sensors as this will
affect system performance.
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING
(LDW) SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
Lane Departure Warning Operation
The Lane Departure Warning system uses a
forward looking camera located on the wind -
shield 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 acti -
vated 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!
Projecting loads on the roof of the vehicle
may interfere with the correct operation of
the camera. Before starting, make sure
the load is correctly positioned in order to
not cover the camera operating range.
Do not cover the operating range of the
camera with stickers or other objects.
Do not tamper with nor operate on the
camera. Do not close the openings in the
aesthetic cover located under the interior
rearview mirror. In the event of a failure of
the camera, contact an 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 compro -
mised by the presence of dust, condensa -
tion, 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 curva -
ture), 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.
CAUTION! (Continued)
21_GA_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 128

STARTING AND OPERATING

130

The system operates in the same way, but
mirrored, in the event of exiting the right lane
when only the right lane marking has been
detected.
Left Lane Departure — Both Lanes Detected
When the system is active, both lane lines on
the display illuminate in white to indicate that
both of the lane markings have been detected.
When lane markings are detected, the system
is ready to provide indications in case the
driver unintentionally leaves the lane (turn
signal not activated).
As the Lane Departure Warning system
detects the lane markings while the vehicle is
in motion, it will adjust the display accordingly
(from white to yellow and vice versa, and
increase their thickness).
If a lane line is crossed, the driver is alerted by
an audible signal as well as the visual indica-
tion in the instrument cluster. The signal is
emitted through the speakers on the side of
the lane marking which is being crossed (e.g.
if the vehicle is exceeding the left line of the
lane, the audible signal will come from the
speakers on the left of the vehicle).
Limited Operation Warning
If a message appears on the display, a condi -
tion limiting the Lane Departure Warning
system operation may have occurred. This
could be an obstruction of the camera view, or
a fault in the system. If an obstruction is detected, clean the area of
the windshield by the interior rearview mirror.
Although the vehicle can still be driven in
normal conditions, the system may not func
-
tion properly.
When the conditions limiting the system are
corrected, it will go back to normal operation.
Should a fault persist, contact an authorized
dealer.
System Failure Warning
If the system turns off and the warning light
appears on the display, it means that there is
a system fault.
In this case, it is still possible to drive the
vehicle, but you are advised to contact an
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Changing Lane Departure Warning Status
The system's sensitivity can be set through the
radio system. Sensitivity “High” or “Low” can
be selected.
To access the function, from the main menu
select the following in order:
1. “Settings”
2. “Driver Assistance”
3. “Lane Departure Warning”
4. “Sensitivity”
LANE KEEPING ASSIST (LKA)
SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) system uses a
camera located on the windshield to detect
the lane markings and calculate the position
of the vehicle within such markings, in order to
make sure that the vehicle remains inside the
lane. This is an active system that will apply
torque to the steering wheel if it senses that
the vehicle is drifting out of the lane.

When one or both lane markings are detected
and the vehicle passes over one without a turn
signal being applied, the system will apply torque
to the steering wheel and a visual signal will be
displayed in the instrument cluster display. An
audible signal may also sound.
If the vehicle continues to go beyond the lane line
without any driver intervention, the surpassed
lane line (left or right) will light up on the instru -
ment cluster display to urge the driver to bring
the vehicle back inside the lane limits.
