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
acoustic 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.

5. Start the compressor by placing the
power switch in the on position (I).
6. Inflate the tire to a pressure of at
least 32 psi (2.2 bar). Refer to “Tires” in
“Servicing And Maintenance” for more
information. In order to obtain a more
precise reading, check the pressure value
on pressure gauge with the compressor
off.
7. If the pressure is not at least 26 psi
(1.8 bar) after 15 minutes, disengage the
compressor from the valve and power
outlet. Then, move the vehicle forwards
approximately five tire turns in order to
distribute the sealing fluid inside the tire
evenly, and then repeat the inflation
operation.8. Drive the vehicle for about 5 miles
(8 km), stop, engage the electric park
brake, and recheck the tire pressure.
9. If the pressure is less than 19 psi
(1.3 bar),
DO NOTdrive the vehicle, and
see an authorized dealer.
10. If a pressure value of at least 19 psi
(1.3 bar) is detected, restore the correct
pressure (with engine running and
electric park brake engaged), and drive
immediately with great care to an
authorized dealer.
Warning!
Tire Service Kit is not a permanent flat tire
repair. Have the tire inspected and repaired
or replaced after using Tire Service Kit. Do
not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) until the tire is
repaired or replaced. Failure to follow this
warning can result in injuries that are serious
or fatal to you, your passengers, and others
around you. Have the tire checked as soon as
possible at your authorized dealer.
11. Apply the adhesive label from the
sealant bottle where it can be easily seen
by the driver as a reminder that the tire
has been treated with a Tire Service Kit,
as well as not to exceed the speed
restriction for the treated tire.
Warning!
Do not adhere the speed restriction sticker
to the padded area on the steering wheel.
Adhering the speed restriction sticker to the
padded area on the steering wheel is
dangerous because the air bag may not
operate (deploy) normally resulting in
serious injury. In addition, do not adhere the
sticker to areas where warning lights or the
speedometer cannot be viewed.
Note: Only use original sealant
cartridges, which can be purchased at an
authorized dealer.
Checking And Restoring Tire Pressure
The compressor can also be used to
check and, if necessary, restore the tire
pressure.
Proceed as follows:
1. Make sure that the power switch is in
the O (off) position.
2. Connect the hose directly to the valve
on the tire to be inflated.
3. Insert the plug into the socket in the
passenger compartment or in the cargo
area and start the engine.
4. Start the compressor by putting the
power switch to I (on). As soon as the
correct pressure is reached, put the
power switch to O (off).

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

Cable Disconnection
Once the engine is started, remove the
connection cables in reverse sequence,
as described below:
1. Disconnect the negative (-) end of the
jumper cable from the remote negative (-)
post of the vehicle with the discharged
battery.
2. Disconnect the negative end (-) of the
jumper cable from the negative (-) post of
the booster battery.
3. Disconnect the opposite end of the
positive (+) jumper cable from the
positive (+) post of the booster battery.
4. Disconnect the positive (+) end of the
jumper cable from the positive (+) post of
the vehicle with the discharged battery.
If frequent jump starting is required to
start your vehicle, you should have the
battery and charging system inspected at
an authorized dealer.
Caution!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle power
outlets draw power from the vehicle’s
battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular
phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long
enough without engine operation, the
vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently
to degrade battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
Bump Starting
Never jump start the engine by pushing,
towing or coasting downhill. You cannot
start a vehicle with an automatic
transmission by pushing it.
Caution!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle power
outlets draw power from the vehicle’s
battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular
phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long
enough without engine operation, the
vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently
to degrade battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
ENGINE OVERHEATING
Engine overheating may occur in
situations such as (but not limited to)
extreme environmental temperatures or
frequent engine stops/starts. If the
engine becomes overheated, the Engine
Temperature Warning Light in the
instrument cluster will illuminate along
with a dedicated message. Refer to
"Warning Lights And Messages On The
Instrument Panel" in the "Getting To
Know Your Instrument Panel" for more
information.
In any of the following situations, you can
reduce the potential for overheating by
taking the appropriate action.
On the highways — slow down.
In city traffic — while stopped, place
the transmission in NEUTRAL, but do not
increase engine idle speed.
Note: There are steps that you can take
to slow down an impending overheat
condition:
If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn
it off. The A/C system adds heat to the
engine cooling system and turning the
A/C off can help remove this heat.
You can also turn the temperature
control to maximum heat, the mode
control to floor and the blower control to
high. This allows the heater core to act
as a supplement to the radiator and aids
in removing heat from the engine cooling
system.
