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
Front Heated Seats
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 orange indicators
illuminated on the buttons
Average — Two orange indicators
illuminated on the buttons
Minimum — One orange 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

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,
these functions 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
that has been overheated could cause
serious burns due to the increased surface
temperature of the seat.

Automatic High Beam Headlights — If
Equipped
The Automatic High Beam Headlights
system provides increased forward
lighting at night by automating high beam
control through the use of a digital
camera mounted on the windshield. This
camera detects vehicle specific light and
automatically turns from high beams to
low beams until the approaching vehicle
is out of view.
This function is enabled with the
Information and Entertainment System,
and can only be activated with the light
switch turned to the
(auto) position.
If the high beam headlights are on, the
blue icon/warning light
will illuminate
in the instrument panel.
When the speed is higher than 37 mph
(60 km/h) and the function is active, the
lights will turn off if the multifunction
lever is pushed again.
When the speed is lower than 15 mph
(25 km/h) and the function is active, the
function turns the high beam headlights
off.
If the high beam headlights are operated
again (pushing the multifunction lever
towards the instrument panel), the
warning light/icon
will illuminate in the
instrument panel, and the main beam
headlights only will be on until the speed
exceeds 37 mph (60 km/h).
When the speed of 37 mph (60 km/h) is
exceeded again, the automatic
functioning is reactivated. If the multifunction lever is pushed again
with the Automatic High Beam
Headlights activated, the function
deactivates.
This feature can also be deactivated by
rotating the headlight switch to the
position.
Note: If the system recognizes heavy
traffic areas, the automatic functions
remain disabled independently of the
vehicle’s speed.
Turn Signals
To activate the turn signals, move the
multifunction lever, located on the left
side of the steering wheel, up or down
until it reaches the detent. Moving the
lever upward flashes the right turn signal
and moving the lever downward will flash
the left turn signal.
The
orturn signal will blink on the
instrument panel.
The turn signals turn off automatically
when the vehicle is brought back onto a
straight course.
“Lane Change” Function
Tap the lever up or down once, without
moving beyond the detent, and the turn
signal (right or left) will flash five times.
Then, the turn signal (right or left) will
automatically turn off.
To turn off the flashing before the end of
the cycle, move the lever in the opposite
direction until the first click (about half
way).

brake is engaged automatically when the
engine is stopped. This function can be
deactivated/activated on the
Information and Entertainment system
by selecting the following items in
sequence on the main menu: "Settings",
"Driver Assistance" and "Automatic
Parking Brake".
In addition to engaging the electric park
brake, along with steering and positioning
chocks in front of the wheels (when on a
steep slope), you must always place the
vehicle in the PARK (P) mode before
leaving.
Should the vehicle battery be faulty, the
battery must be replaced in order to
unlock the electric park brake.
Engaging The Park Brake Manually
Briefly pull the switch located on the
center console to manually engage the
electric park brake when the vehicle is
stationary.
Noise may be heard from the rear of the
vehicle when engaging the electric
parking brake.
A slight movement of the brake pedal
may be detected when engaging the
electric parking brake with the brake
pedal pressed.
With the electric parking brake engaged,
the BRAKE warning light on the
instrument panel and the switch will
illuminate.
Caution!
With the Electronic Parking Brake failure
warning light on, some functions of the
electric parking brake are deactivated. In
this case the driver is responsible for brake
activation and vehicle parking in complete
safety conditions.
If, under exceptional circumstances, the
use of the brake is required with the
vehicle in motion, keep the switch on the
center console pulled as long as the brake
action is necessary.
The BRAKE warning light may turn on
with the hydraulic system temporarily
unavailable; in this case, braking is
controlled by the motors.
The brake lights will also automatically
turn on in the same way as normal braking
with the use of the brake pedal.
Release the switch on the center console
to stop the braking action with the
vehicle in motion.
If, through this procedure, the vehicle is
braked until a speed below 1.9 mph
(3 km/h) is reached and the switch is kept
pulled, the park brake will definitively
engage.
Note: Driving the vehicle with the
electric parking brake engaged, or using
it several times to slow down the vehicle,
may cause severe damage to the braking
system. Disengaging The Electric Park Brake
Manually
In order to manually release the park
brake, the ignition should be in the ON
mode. Press the brake pedal, and then
push the switch on the center console
briefly.

After disengaging the electric parking
brake, the BRAKE warning light on the
instrument panel and the light on the
switch will turn off.
If the BRAKE warning light on the
instrument panel remains on with the
electric parking brake disengaged, this
indicates a fault: in this case, contact an
authorized dealer.
