WARNING!
•Pedals that cannot move freely can cause loss of vehicle control and increase the
risk of serious personal injury.
•Always make sure that objects cannot fall into the driver foot well while the ve-
hicle is moving.Objects can become trapped under the brake pedal and accelera-
tor pedal causing a loss of vehicle control.
•Failure to properly follow floor mat installation or mounting can cause interference
with the brake pedal and accelerator pedal operation causing loss of control of
the vehicle.
•Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.Al-
lowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of rea-
sons.A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured.Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the shift lever/transmission
gear selector.
•Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to chil-
dren, and do not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go

WARNING!
•Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous.The sudden movement
of the seat could cause you to lose control.The seat belt might not be properly
adjusted, and you could be severely injured or killed.Only adjust a seat while the
vehicle is parked.
•Actuating the recliner handle will allow the seatback to swing forward.Do not
stand or lean in front of the seatback while actuating the handle.The seatback
may swing forward and strike you, causing injury.To avoid possible injury, place
your hand on the seatback while actuating the recliner handle.
•Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the seat belt is no longer resting
against your chest.In a collision, you could slide under the seat belt and be se-
verely injured or killed.Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.
HEATED SEATS
Front Heated Seats
The controls for the front heated seats are located on the outboard side of the seat.
•Push the heated seat switchonce to turn on the heated seat.
•Push the heated seat switcha second time to turn off the heated seat.
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 conditions 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 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.

To Close
•With the sunroof in the full open position, pull and hold the power sunroof switch for
approximately one second.
NOTE:
During Express close any movement of the sunroof switch will stop the sunroof.
Wind Buffeting
Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of pressure on the ears or a
helicopter-type sound in the ears.Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the win-
dows down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain open or partially open positions.This
is a normal occurrence and can be minimized.If the buffeting occurs with the rear win-
dows open, open the front and rear windows together to minimize the buffeting.If the
buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening to minimize the buf-
feting or open any window.
Power Sun Blind
•Pull the power sun blind switch and the blind will move towards the rear part of the
car, until it is fully open.
With the blind fully open pull the power sun blind switch and the blind will move to-
wards the front part of the car, until it is fully closed.
NOTE:
During the automatic opening and closing stages, if the power sun blind switch is pulled
again it will stop the blind movement.
EURO TWIN CLUTCH SIX-SPEED TRANSMISSION
•This vehicle may be equipped with a fuel efficient Euro Twin Clutch Six Speed Transmis-
sion.This transmission offers a sportier driving experience with faster AutoStick shifting.
•During low-speed driving conditions in first gear, vehicle momentum changes may feel
exaggerated in response to changes in accelerator pedal position.This behavior is nor-
mal and is similar to vehicles equipped with a manual transmission.
NOTE:
•Very aggressive driving may result in some clutch odor similar to a manual transmission.
An active warning message will display in the Instrument Cluster if cool down actions
are needed.
•The first few shifts on a new vehicle may be somewhat abrupt.This is a normal condi-
tion, and precision shifts will develop within a few hundred miles (kilometers).
•At low speeds you may hear mechanical noises similar to a manual transmission as the
transmission changes gears.These noises are normal and will not damage the transmission.
•Before and after the engine is started, you may hear a hydraulic pump for a short pe-
riod of time.This noise is normal and will not damage the transmission.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
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 ve-
hicle 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 monitor-
ing 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 illumi-
nates, 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.
IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUST
THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE SHOWN ON THE
VEHICLE PLACARD OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LABEL LOCATED ON THE
DRIVER'S DOOR.
NOTE:
AFTER INFLATION, THE VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE DRIVEN FOR 20 MINUTES BE-
FORE THE FLASHING LIGHT WILL TURN OFF.
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.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 min-
ute and then remain continuously illuminated.This sequence will continue upon subse-
quent 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 in-
tended.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.
NOTE:
Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air tempera-
ture change.Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially in
the Winter.Example: If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C), and the outside temperature
is 32°F (0°C), then the cold tire inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa),
which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.
