READ THIS CAREFULLY
Refueling
Gas engines: Do not use fuel containing methanol or ethanol E85. Using these mixtures may cause misfiring and driving issues, as well as damage
vital components of the supply system.
Diesel engines: Do not use other products or mixtures as they may cause damage to the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the
warranty. For further details on the use of the correct fuel, see

Ú
page 239.
Starting The Engine
Make sure that the electric park brake is engaged and that the transmission is in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N). Next, press the brake pedal, and then
push the engine START/STOP button.
Parking On Flammable Material
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the vehicle on potential fire hazards such as: grass, dry leaves,
pine needles or other flammable material.
Respecting The Environment
The vehicle is fitted with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the
environment (if equipped).
Electrical Accessories
If you decide to add electrical accessories after purchasing the vehicle, with the risk of gradually draining the battery, contact an authorized
dealer. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electric system can support the required load.
Scheduled Servicing
Correctly performed maintenance procedures are essential for ensuring that your vehicle continuously maintains its quality in performance and
safety features, environmental friendliness, and low running costs.

REMOTE START —
IF EQUIPPED
This system uses the key fob to start the
engine conveniently from outside the
vehicle while still maintaining security.

NOTE:
Obstructions between the vehicle and key fob
may reduce this range
Ú
page 247.
HOW TO USE REMOTE START
Push the Remote Start button on the key fob
twice within five seconds. The vehicle doors will
lock, the turn signals will flash twice, and the horn
will chirp twice. Pushing the Remote Start button
a third time shuts the engine off.

NOTE:

With Remote Start, the engine will only run for
15 minutes.
Remote Start can only be used twice.
If an engine fault is present or fuel level is low,
the vehicle will start and then shut down in 10
seconds.
The parking lights will turn on and remain on
during Remote Start mode.
For security, power window and power sunroof
(if equipped) operation is disabled when the
vehicle is in the Remote Start mode.
The ignition must be placed in the ACC position
before the Remote Start sequence can be
repeated for a third cycle.
All of the following conditions must be met before
the engine will remote start:
Gear selector in PARK
Doors closed
Hood closed
Liftgate closed
Hazard switch off
Brake switch inactive (brake pedal not
pressed)
Battery at an acceptable charge level
PANIC button not pushed
System not disabled from previous Remote
Start event
Vehicle Security system indicator flashing
Ignition in OFF position
Fuel level meets minimum requirement
Vehicle Security system is not signaling an
intrusion
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is not
illuminated
TO EXIT REMOTE START MODE
To drive the vehicle after starting the Remote
Start system, either push and release the unlock
button on the key fob to unlock the doors, or
unlock the vehicle using Passive Entry via the
door handles, and disarm the Vehicle Security
system (if equipped). Then, prior to the end of the
15 minute cycle, push and release the START/
STOP ignition button while pressing the brake
pedal.
The Remote Start system will turn the engine off
if the Remote Start button is pushed again, or if
the engine is allowed to run for the entire
15 minute cycle.
REMOTE START COMFORT SYSTEMS —
I
F EQUIPPED
When Remote Start is activated, the heated
steering wheel and front heated seat features will
automatically activate when ambient
temperature is less than 39°F (4°C). These
features will stay on through the duration of
Remote Start.

NOTE:
This feature can be activated through the radio
system. Refer to the Information and Entertain -
ment System Owner’s Manual Supplement for
further information.
WARNING!
Do not start or run an engine in a closed
garage or confined area. Exhaust gas
contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is
odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is
poisonous and can cause serious injury or
death when inhaled.
Keep key fobs away from children. Operation
of the Remote Start system, windows, door
locks or other controls could cause serious
injury or death.

To Turn On The Climate Control System
To switch the Climate Control system on in
automatic mode, push the AUTO button.
Operating Mode
The Climate Control system can be activated in
different ways. It is recommended to use the
automatic function. Push the AUTO button and
set the desired temperatures.
The automatic system adjusts the temperature,
quantity, and distribution of air introduced into
the passenger compartment. It also controls air
recirculation and the activation of the air
conditioner.
At any time during automatic operation, you can
change the temperature, activate or deactivate
the Rear Defrost, activate SYNC, activate or
deactivate the air conditioner, and activate or
deactivate air recirculation. The system will
automatically adjust to the new settings.
Climate Control Display Settings
The Climate Control settings are visible on the
radio screen.
The display on the radio system is a pop up
window, which is activated by pushing the
buttons or turning the knobs on the Climate
Control system. The indicator lights located on
the buttons and knobs indicate that the selected
feature is on/off. If no operation is performed for
a predetermined time, the pop-up will close on
the display.
Humidity Sensor
The Humidity Sensor helps prevent the windows
from fogging up. The AUTO function (indicator
illuminated) must be on for the Humidity Sensor
to function.
When outside temperature is low, the system may
turn the compressor on and turn air recirculation
off for safer driving.
Stop/Start
The Stop/Start system shuts off the engine when
the vehicle speed is 0 mph (0 km/h), as a fuel
conservation measure.
In order to maintain comfort in the cabin, the
Stop/Start feature will not activate if any of the
following conditions exist:
The Climate Control system is in AUTO mode
(indicator illuminated), and the vehicle has yet
to reach the set temperature
The Climate Control system is in LO maximum
cooling
The Climate Control system is in HI maximum
heating
The Climate Control system is in the MAX-DEF
status
When the Stop/Start system is active, the engine
will restart if the inside temperature changes
significantly, or if the LO setting, or MAX-DEF
setting, is activated. With Stop/Start system on (engine is OFF), air
flow is reduced to keep the compartment comfort
conditions for longer.
Until the temperature drastically changes within
the cabin, the climate control system will
continue to maintain the temperature while the
engine is off. By deactivating the Stop/Start
system with the button (located by the
headlight switch), the climate control system
operates normally according to the settings.

NOTE:

In harsh climate conditions, limit the use of the
Stop/Start system to prevent the compressor
from continuously switching on and off. This
will cause rapid misting of the windows and the
accumulation of humidity in the passenger
compartment.
When the Stop/Start system is on, the climate
control system will always take air in from
outside, reducing the probability of the
windows fogging up.
System Maintenance
In winter months, the Climate Control system
must be turned on at least once a month for
approximately 10 minutes.
Have the system inspected at an authorized
dealer before the summer.
