ONBOARD
DIAGNOSTIC
SYSTEM — OBD II
Your vehicle is equipped with a
sophisticated Onboard Diagnostic
system called OBD II. This system
monitors the performance of the
emissions, engine, and automatic
transmission control systems. When
these systems are operating properly,
your vehicle will provide excellent
performance and fuel economy, as well
as engine emissions well within current
government regulations.
If any of these systems require service,
the OBD II system will turn on the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL). It will
also store diagnostic codes and other
information to assist your service
technician in making repairs. Although
your vehicle will usually be drivable and
not need towing, see your authorized
dealer for service as soon as possible.
Caution!
Prolonged driving with the MIL on could
cause further damage to the emission
control system. It could also affect fuel
economy and driveability. The vehicle must
be serviced before any emissions tests can
be performed.
If the MIL is flashing while the engine is
running, severe catalytic converter damage
and power loss will soon occur. Immediate
service is required.
Onboard Diagnostic
System (OBD II)
Cybersecurity
Your vehicle is required to have an
Onboard Diagnostic system (OBD II)
and a connection port to allow access
to information related to the
performance of your emissions
controls. Authorized service technicians
may need to access this information to
assist with the diagnosis and service of
your vehicle and emissions system.
Warning!
ONLY an authorized service technician
should connect equipment to the OBD II
connection port in order to diagnose or
service your vehicle.
If unauthorized equipment is connected
to the OBD II connection port, such as a
driver-behavior tracking device, it may:
Be possible that vehicle systems,
including safety related systems, could be
impaired or a loss of vehicle control could
occur that may result in an accident
involving serious injury or death.
Access, or allow others to access,
information stored in your vehicle systems,
including personal information.
For further information, refer to “Privacy
Practices” and “Uconnect
CyberSecurity” in “All About Uconnect
Access” in your Owner’s Manual Radio
Supplement and “Cybersecurity” in
“Multimedia”.

immediately and take appropriate
measures. If the vehicle continues to be
driven, it could cause damage to the
engine.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge 2 shows approximately
how much fuel is remaining in the tank
when the ignition is in the ON position.
We recommend keeping the tank over
1/4 full.
E= Empty
F= Full
If the low fuel warning light illuminates
or the fuel level is very low, refuel as
soon as possible.
Note:
After refueling, it may require some
time for the indicator to stabilize. In
addition, the indicator may deviate
while driving on a slope or curve since
the fuel moves in the tank.
The display indicating a quarter or
less remaining fuel has more segments
to show the remaining fuel level in
greater detail.
The direction of the arrow on the
fuel gauge indicates that the fuel door
lid is on the left side of the vehicle.
Outside Temperature
Display
When the ignition is in the ON position,
the outside temperature is displayed.
Under the following conditions, the
outside temperature display may differ
from the actual outside temperature
depending on the surroundings and
vehicle conditions:
Significantly cold or hot
temperatures.
Sudden changes in outside
temperature.
The vehicle is parked.
The vehicle is driven at low speeds. Changing The Temperature Unit Of
The Outside Temperature Display
The outside temperature unit can be
switched between Fahrenheit and
Celsius using the following procedure.

Downshifting
When you must slow down in heavy
traffic or on a steep upgrade, downshift
before the engine starts to overwork.
This reduces the chance of stalling and
gives better acceleration when you
need more speed.
On a steep downgrade, downshifting
helps maintain safe speed and prolongs
brake life.

EQUIPPED
Oil Life Reset
Versions With Fiat Radio 3.0
“Oil Change” with flexible settings are
available. Consult an Authorized
Dealership for details.
Note:The engine oil flexible
maintenance setting is available (if
equipped). Based on the engine
operating conditions, the on-board
computer in your vehicle calculates the
remaining oil life. When the engine oil
flexible maintenance setting is selected,
the system must be reset whenever
replacing the engine oil regardless of
the wrench indicator light display.
When the engine oil flexible
maintenance setting is selected, the
wrench indicator light will illuminate in
the instrument cluster when remaining
oil life becomes less than 300 miles
(500 km) or remaining days are less
than 15 (whichever comes first).
Reset Method
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine
oil change indicator system. The “Oil
Change Required” message will flash in
the Instrument Cluster Display for
approximately 10 seconds after a single
chime has sounded to indicate the next
scheduled oil change interval. The
engine oil change indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the
engine oil change interval may fluctuate,
dependent upon your personal driving
style.
Unless reset, this message will continue
to display each time you turn the
ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
To reset the oil change indicator system
(after performing the scheduled
maintenance), refer to the following
procedure
1. Place the ignition in the ON position.
(Do not start the engine.)
2. Fully push the accelerator pedal
slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
3. Place the ignition in the OFF/LOCK
position.
Note:
If the indicator message
illuminates when you start the vehicle,
the oil change indicator system did not
reset. If necessary, repeat this
procedure.

passengers seat. The sensor may not
function properly because the
additional seat cushion could cause
sensor interference.
If a small child is seated on the
passengers seat, the warning beep
may not operate.
Mexico
If the vehicle speed exceeds about
12 MPH (20 km/h) with the driver or
passengers seat belt unfastened, a
warning beep sounds continuously. If
the seat belt remains unfastened, the
beep sound stops once and then
continues for about 90 seconds. The
beep stops after the driver or
passengers seat belt is fastened.
Until a seat belt is fastened or a given
period of time has elapsed, the beep
sound will not stop even if the vehicle
speed falls below 12 MPH (20 km/h).
Warning!
Placing heavy items on the front
passenger seat may cause the front
passenger seat belt warning function to
operate depending on the weight of the
item.
To allow the front passenger seat weight
sensor to function properly, do not place
and sit on an additional seat cushion on the
front passenger seat. The sensor may not
function properly because the additional
seat cushion could cause sensor
interference.
When a small child sits on the front
passenger seat, it is possible that the
warning beep will not operate.
Ignition Not Switched OFF
If the driver's door is opened while the
ignition is placed in the ACC position, a
continuous beep sound will be heard to
notify the driver that the ignition has not
been placed in the OFF position.
Left in this condition, the keyless entry
system will not operate, the car cannot
be locked, and the battery power will
be depleted.
Key Removed From Vehicle
Warning Beep
A beep sound will be heard 6 times
and the
warning light (red) will flash
continuously if the ignition has not been
placed in the OFF position, all the doors
are closed, and the key fob is removed
from the vehicle.
This is to notify the driver that the key
fob has been removed from the vehicle
and the ignition has not been placed in
the OFF position. Note:
Because the key fob uses
low-intensity radio waves, the
warning may activate if the key fob
is carried together with a metal object
or it is placed in a poor signal reception
area.
Request Switch Inoperable Warning
Beep — If Equipped With Advanced
Keyless Function
If the request switch on the exterior
door handle is pushed with a door
open, or the ignition has not been
placed in the OFF position, a beep will
be heard for about 2 seconds to
indicate that the doors, and trunk lid
cannot be locked.
Key Left-In-Trunk Compartment

Advanced Keyless Function
If the key fob is left in the trunk with all
doors locked and the trunk lid closed, a
beep sound is heard for about
10 seconds to remind the driver the key
fob has been left in the trunk.
If this happens, open the trunk lid by
pushing the electric trunk lid opener
and remove the key fob.
A key fob removed from the trunk may
not function because its functions may
have been temporarily suspended. To

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

SAFETY SYSTEMS
Safety Systems
The vehicle has the following safety
systems:
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
Traction Contol System (TCS)
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
For the operation of the systems, see
the following pages.
ABS System (Anti-lock
Braking System)
The ABS control unit continuously
monitors the speed of each wheel. If
one wheel is about to lock up, the ABS
responds by automatically releasing
and reapplying that wheel's brake. The
driver will feel a slight vibration in the
brake pedal and may hear a chattering
noise from the brake system. This is
normal ABS system operation.
Continue to depress the brake pedal
without pumping the brakes. The
warning light turns on when the system
has a malfunction. Refer to “Warning
Lights And Messages” paragraph in
“Getting To Know Your Instrument
Panel” chapter. Note:
Braking distances may be longer on
loose surfaces (snow or gravel, for
example) which usually have a hard
foundation. A vehicle with a normal
braking system may require less
distance to stop under these
conditions because the tires will build
up a wedge of surface layer when the
wheels skid.
The sound of the ABS operating
may be heard when starting the engine
or immediately after starting the
vehicle, however, it does not indicate a
malfunction
Warning!
The ABS contains sophisticated
electronic equipment that may be
susceptible to interference caused by
improperly installed or high output radio
transmitting equipment. This interference
can cause possible loss of anti-lock braking
capability. Installation of such equipment
should be performed by qualified
professionals.
Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will
diminish their effectiveness and may lead to
a collision. Pumping makes the stopping
distance longer. Just press firmly on your
brake pedal when you need to slow down
or stop.
The ABS cannot prevent the natural
laws of physics from acting on the vehicle,
nor can it increase braking or steering
efficiency beyond that afforded by the
condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or
the traction afforded.
The ABS cannot prevent collisions,
including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, following another vehicle
too closely, or hydroplaning.
The capabilities of an ABS equipped
vehicle must never be exploited in a
reckless or dangerous manner that could
jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of
others.
TCS System (Traction
Control System)
Warning!
The capability of the TCS must never be
tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in
such a way as to compromise personal
safety and the safety of others.
The Traction Control System (TCS)
enhances traction and safety by
controlling engine torque and braking.
When the TCS detects driving wheel
slippage, it lowers engine torque and
operates the brakes to prevent loss of
traction. This means that on a slick
surface, the engine adjusts
automatically to provide optimum
112
SAFETY

Tire Pressure Monitoring System —
Sport Grade
The TPMS system monitors the
pressure for each tire.
If tire pressure is too low in one or more
tires, the system will inform the driver
via the
warning light in the
instrument cluster and by the warning
beep sound.
The tire pressure sensors installed on
each wheel send tire pressure data by
radio signal to the receiver unit in the
vehicle.
TPMS does not alleviate your need to
check the pressure and condition of all
four tires regularly.
Each tire, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label. (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size than
the size indicated on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that
illuminates a low tire pressure telltale
when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,
when the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated
tire causes the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle's handling
and stopping ability. Please note that
the TPMS is not a substitute for proper
tire maintenance, and it is the driver's
responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination
of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not
operating properly. [For vehicles with a
dedicated MIL telltale, add the following
statement: The TPMS malfunction
indicator is provided by a separate
telltale, which displays the symbol
“TPMS” when illuminated.] [For vehicles
with a combined low tire pressure/MIL
telltale, add the following statement:
The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pressure
telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists.] When the
malfunction indicator is illuminated, the
system may not be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate
tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning
properly. Always check the TPMS
malfunction telltale after replacing one
or more tires or wheels on your vehicle
to ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function properly.
System Error Activation
When the
warning light flashes,
there may be a system malfunction.
Contact your Authorized Dealer.
A system error activation may occur in
the following cases:
When there is equipment or a device
near the vehicle using the same radio
frequency as that of the tire pressure
sensors.
When a metallic device such as a
non-genuine navigation system is
equipped near the center of the
dashboard, which may block radio
signals from the tire pressure sensor to
the receiver unit.
When using the following devices in
the vehicle that may cause radio
interference with the receiver unit.
A digital device such as a personal
computer.
A current converter device such as a
DC-AC converter.
121

Note:
The tire pressure sensor ID signal
code must be registered when a new
tire pressure sensor is purchased. For
purchase of a tire pressure sensor and
registration of the tire pressure sensor
ID signal code, consult your Authorized
Dealer.
When reinstalling a previously
removed tire pressure sensor to a
wheel, replace the grommet (seal
between valve body/sensor and wheel)
for the tire pressure sensor.
Caution!
The TPMS has been optimized for the
original equipment tires and wheels.
TPMS pressures and warning have been
established for the tire size equipped on
your vehicle. Undesirable system operation
or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the
same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket
wheels can cause sensor damage.
Using aftermarket tire sealants may
cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) sensor to become inoperable.
After using an aftermarket tire sealant it is
recommended that you take your vehicle to
an Authorized Dealership to have your
sensor function checked.
After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure always reinstall the valve stem
cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt
from entering the valve stem, which could
damage the TPMS sensor.
The following regulatory statement
applies to all radio frequency (RF)
devices equipped in this vehicle:
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules and with Industry Canada
license-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
(2) This device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Note:
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
OCCUPANT
RESTRAINT
SYSTEMS
The most important safety equipment
of the vehicle comprise the following
protection systems:
Seat Belts
SBA (Seat Belt Alert) System
Head Restraints
Child Restraint Systems
Front Air Bags And Side Air Bags
Read the information given in the
following pages with the utmost care.
It is of fundamental importance that the
protection systems are used in the
correct way to guarantee the maximum
possible safety level for the driver and
the passengers.

RADAR SENSORS —
IF EQUIPPED
Rear Radar Sensors
The following systems use the rear
radar sensors:
Blind Spot Monitoring System (BSM)
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
The radar sensors function by detecting
the radio waves reflected off of a vehicle
approaching from the rear or an
obstruction sent from the radar sensor.
The radar sensors are installed inside
the rear bumper, one each on the left
and right sides.
Always keep the surface of the rear
bumper near the radar sensors clean so
that the radar sensors operate normally.
Also, do not apply items such as
stickers.
Caution!
If the rear bumper receives a severe
impact, the system may no longer operate
normally. Stop the system immediately and
contact an Authorized Dealer.
The detection ability of the radar
sensors has limitations. In the following
cases, the detection ability may lower
and the system may not operate
normally:
The rear bumper near the radar
sensors has become deformed.
Snow, ice or mud adheres to the
radar sensors on the rear bumper.
Under bad weather conditions such
as rain, snow and fog.
Note: Under the following conditions,
the radar sensors cannot detect target
objects or it may be difficult to detect
them:
Stationary objects on a road or a
road side such as small, two-wheeled
vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians,
animals, and shopping carts.
Vehicle shapes which do not reflect
radar waves well such as empty trailers
with a low vehicle height and sports
cars. Vehicles are shipped with the direction
of the radar sensors adjusted for each
vehicle to a loaded vehicle condition so
that the radar sensors detect
approaching vehicles correctly. If the
direction of the radar sensors has
changed, contact an Authorized Dealer.
The radar sensors are regulated by the
relevant radio wave laws of the country
in which the vehicle is driven. If the
vehicle is driven abroad, authorization
from the country in which the vehicle is
driven may be required.
Note:
For repairs or replacement of the
radar sensors, or bumper repairs,
paintwork, and replacement near the
radar sensors, consult an Authorized
Dealer.
Turn off the system while pulling a
trailer or while an accessory such as a
bicycle carrier is installed to the rear of
the vehicle. Otherwise, the radio waves
emitted by the radar will be blocked
causing the system to not operate
normally.
