designed to allow greater range of
pedals positions enabling driver
comfort with regard to the steering
wheel tilt and the seat position.
This feature allows the brake and
accelerator pedals to move toward or
away from the driver’s feet.
The switch is located on the front side
of the driver's seat cushion shield.
Press the switch downward to move
the pedals forward (toward the front
of the vehicle).
Lift the switch upward to move the
pedals rearward (toward the driver).
WARNING!
Do not adjust the pedals position while the vehicle is moving. You could
lose control and have an accident.
Always adjust the pedals position
while the vehicle is parked.
The following messages will be
displayed
if the driver is attempting to
adjust the pedals when the system is
locked out:
• “Adjustable Pedals Unavailable
While Reversing”;
• or “Adjustable Pedals Unavailable
While Cruise Engaged”.
NOTE:
For vehicles equipped with driver
memory seat, use your key fob (RKE)
transmitter or the memory buttons on
the driver's door trim panel to return
the adjustable pedals to programmed
positions. See “Driver Memory Seat
(for versions/markets, where
provided)” in section “Understanding
the Vehicle” for further information.
CAUTION!
Do not place any object under the
adjustable pedals or obstruct their
movements as it may cause damage to
the pedal controls. Pedal movement
may become limited if there is an
obstruction in the adjustable pedal's.Rearview Mirrors External Mirrors External mirrors can be adjusted
electrically and are equipped with
anti-mist resistors operated by the air
conditioning system (see “Air
Conditioning Controls” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
The mirrors can be closed electrically
and will yield in both directions in case
of a collision.
The external mirrors are
electrochromic, which means, they
automatically operate an anti-glare
function by gradually shading as the
light hitting the mirrors increases.
The external rear-view electrochromic
mirrors work in conjunction with the
internal rear-view electrochromic
mirror.
NOTE:
• The mirrors can be adjusted
electrically only with the ignition
device in ACC and RUN position.
• When the vehicle is started, the
indicator light shown in the picture
will momentarily illuminate in both
outside rear-view mirrors to let the
driver know that the optional BlindUnderstanding the Vehicle

Spot Assist (BSA) system is
operational. For more details see
chapter “Blind Spot Assist - BSA” in
section “Driving”.
The external of the rear-view mirror
support is equipped with LEDs,
lighting up when the turn signals and
vehicle entry/exit lights are activated.
When the surround view camera
system is installed, at the external
bottom side of the rear-view mirror is
the side view camera (refer to
“Surround View Camera System
(optional)” in section “Before
Starting”).
Mirrors Positioning
The power mirror controls are located
on the driver's door trim panel.
The power mirror controls consist of
mirror select buttons and a four-way
mirror control switch. To adjust a rearview mirror, press
either the L (left) or R (right) button to
select the mirror that you want to
adjust. The spin button will illuminate
indicating the rearview mirror is
activated and can be adjusted.
Press the mirror control switch
corresponding to the arrow indicating
the direction of the desired
movement.
For optimal vision orientate the
outside(s) mirror(s) in order to frame the adjacent lane and get a partial
overlap with the visible image on the
inside rearview mirror.
Power mirror preselected positions can
be reset by operating the Memory
Driver Seat device (if equipped). Check
“Driver Memory Seat” in this section
for further information.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in the
external side convex mirror will look
smaller and farther away than they
really are. Use the inside mirror to
judge the size or distance of a vehicle
seen in the external side convex
mirror.
Tilt Side Mirrors In Reverse
This
feature provides automatic
external rearview mirrors positioning,
allowing the driver to view the
ground area behind the front doors.
The external mirrors will move slightly
downward from the current position
when the shift lever is shifted into
reverse. The external mirrors will then
return to the original position when
the lever is shifted out of the reverse
position. Each memory set of the
driver's seat (see "Driver MemoryUnderstanding the Vehicle
3
111

Seat" chapter in section
“Understanding the Vehicle”)
corresponds to a mirror tilt position in
reverse.
NOTE:
The mirrors tilt in reverse can be
turned on and off using the MTC+
System, refer to “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”.
Folding Mirrors
By selecting this feature on MTC+ the
rear-view mirrors automatically fold
when the vehicle is locked by the key
fob and when the power liftgate (if
equipped) is closed and locked by
pressing the
button on the outer
ledge of the left boot compartment
lining. When the vehicle and the
liftgate will be unlocked and the
ignition device is set in RUN position,
the rear-view mirrors will
automatically open in the position
they had before the lock.
The switch for the power folding
mirrors is located between the power
mirror switches. Press the switch once and the mirrors
will fold in; press the switch a second
time to reset the mirrors to the
standard position.
There is a way to make external
mirrors automatically fold/unfold.
• If the function is available, it needs
to be activated by MTC+ (refer to
“MTC+ Settings” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”). • If the mirrors are automatically
folded after the last lock action, then
they will automatically unfold when
the ignition device is set on ACC or
RUN position.
• If the mirrors were manually folded
by the switch on the driver's door
panel, before a lock action, they will
need to be manually unfolded to
reactivate the automatic function.
CAUTION!
Never retract or open the mirrors
manually: it could damage the power
mechanism.
Internal Rearview Mirror The position of internal rearview
mirror can be manually adjusted, and
is endowed with an accident-
prevention release system operating in
the event of a collision.
Internal rearview mirror is
electrochromic: this glare function is
automatically deactivated in reverse to
ensure maximum visibility of obstacles.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to the mirror during
cleaning, never spray any cleaningUnderstanding the Vehicle

Automatic Headlights This system automatically turns the
headlights on or off according to
ambient light intensity detected by
the twilight sensor positioned on the
inner surface of the windshield, over
the rear view mirror. To turn the
system on, rotate the lights switch
clockwise to “AUTO” position.
When the automatic system is
activated, the headlight time delay
feature is activated as well. This means
the headlights will stay on for up to 90
seconds after you place the ignition
device into OFF position.
To turn the automatic system off,
move the lights switch out of “AUTO”
position.
NOTE:
The engine must be running and the
twilight sensor in “NIGHT” mode
before the headlights turn on in
automatic mode.
WARNING!
The responsibility for turning on the
lights, depending on the daylight and
regulations in force in the country of
use, always lies with the driver. The
automatic system for switching on and off the external lights is to be
considered as an aid for the driver. If
necessary, switch the lights including
the front and rear fog lights on and
off manually.
Headlights On with Wipers When this feature is active, the
headlights will turn on approximately
10 seconds after activation of the
wipers, if the lights switch is placed in
the “AUTO” position. The headlights
will additionally turn off by
deactivation of the wipers if
previously activated with this function.
NOTE:
The headlights with wipers feature
may be turned on and off using the
MTC+ System, refer to “MTC+
Settings” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”.
Headlights Time Delay This safety feature provides headlight
illumination for up to 90 seconds
(programmable) when leaving your
vehicle in an unlit area. To activate the
delay feature, place the ignition
switch in the OFF or ACC position
while the headlights are still on. Then turn off the headlights within 45
seconds.
The delay interval begins when the
lights switch is turned off (position
“0”). If you turn the headlights or
position lights on, or place the
ignition switch in RUN , the system will
cancel the delay.
If you turn the headlights off (“0”
position) before the ignition, they will
turn off in the normal mode.
NOTE:
• To activate this feature the lights
must be turned off (“0” position)
within 45 seconds of placing the
ignition switch in the OFF or ACC
position.
• The headlight delay time is
programmable using the MTC+
System, see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”.
• If the low beam bulbs/LEDs are
active due to “Headlights with
Wipers”, then the headlamps delay
feature will not be activated when
the ignition switch is set in OFF
position.Understanding the Vehicle

SmartBeam™ System (for
versions/markets, where
provided) The SmartBeam™ system provides
increased forward lighting for a more
comfortable and secure driving
experience without resulting in glare
to other vehicles in certain traffic
situations. The SmartBeam™ system
uses a forward facing digital camera,
located on the windshield behind the
internal rear-view mirror, and an
electronical headlights controller in
order to dynamically adapt the front
light distribution according to the
traffic scenario.
The digital camera works like a human
eye, it is able to see which is the traffic
context while the headlight electronic
controller works like a human brain,
using information from the camera to
command an headlight reaction that
gives to the driver the “best” light
distribution (best is always in reference
to the specific traffic environment).
The camera gives information to the
electronical headlight controller about
environmental brightness, traffic
participants vehicle and obstacles
lights, distances and velocities. Using a
proper combination of all these data
the smart beam system is able to dynamically modify the light shape
produced by the dipped beam and by
the full beam as well, to make the
driver visibility as much comfortable as
possible in every condition without
glaring other traffic participants.
System Limitations
There are some cases in which the
SmartBeam TM
system may not function
properly temporarily, and cause
glaring for other vehicles especially
with “Auto High Beam Assist” feature
activated on MTC+ “Controls” page
(see “MTC+ “Controls” Screen” in
section "Dashboard Instruments and
Controls").
These cases could be related to:
• Vehicles headlight and/or rear light
(one or both of them) not visible in
the field of view of the camera.
• Heavy rainy weather.
• Heavy foggy weather.
• Snowing weather.
• Windshield dirt or impurities in
camera lens zone.
• Camera lens obstruction or logging.
In all these cases, it will be the driver’s
responsibility to avoid this glaring by
acting manually on the system,
switching off the high beam by means
of steering wheel multifunction lever. Daytime Running Lights (DRL) The lighting system uses the same high
or low intensity headlamps LED,
respectively, for the DRL lights and
front position lights.
DRL lights will turn on when the
twilight sensor is in “DAY” mode, the
engine is running and the light switch
is in
or “AUTO” position.
If a turn signal is activated, the DRL
LED on the same side of the vehicle
will turn off for the duration of the
turn signal activation. Once the turn
signal is deactivated, the DRL LED will
light up again.
NOTE:
On Canadian vehicles DRL are always
on. On USA vehicles the DRL lights can
be turned on and off using the MTC+
System, see “MTC+ Settings” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and Controls”
for further information.Understanding the Vehicle

NOTE:
• Each time the adaptive headlight
system is turned on, the headlights
will perform a self-regulation cycle.
• All AFS features are available only if
the vehicle is moving forward.
• “Adaptive Front Light” function can
be turned on or off using the MTC+
System, refer to “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instrument and
Controls” for further information. “Full-LED” Headlight with AFS
(optional) These headlights combines the
“Full-LED” technology to the AFS
(Advanced Frontlighting System)
adaptive features, using a
forward-facing camera located on the
windshield behind the internal
rear-view mirror.
“Full-LED” Technology
This technology allows having
headlights with a simpler construction
and a more compact size compared to
those equipped with traditional or
Xenon light bulbs.
Other advantages are:
• a clearer light beam, with a cool
white tone that allows a better
perception of the contrasts thus
making the night vision more
efficient and less tiring;
• a longer duration equivalent at least
to that of the vehicle;
• a reduced current consumption. These features positively affect some
vehicle management economy aspects
by eliminating/reducing the light bulb
replacements and the fuel
consumption.
AFS Features
The system is able to process signals of
onboard systems and subsequently
start up five strategic steps in the
following situations:
• “motorway beam”;
• “country beam”;
• “town beam”;
• “adverse weather beam”;
• “tourist beam” (for example in
countries with circulation on the
opposite side). In this case this
function must be activated via the
menu of MTC+ (refer to “MTC+
Settings” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”).
The advantages offered by the AFS
system are perceived especially in case
of bad weather, fog and/or insufficient
road indications providing broader
illumination of the side zones, which
are normally left in the dark, and for
motorway driving.
This surely increases driving safety as it
offers less eye stress and increased
orientation for the driver and betterLighting Light flux

Automatic High Beam (for
versions/markets, where
provided) The Automatic High Beam headlight
control system provides increased
forward lighting at night by
automating high beam control
through the use of the forward-facing
digital camera located behind the
rear-view mirror, which is the same
one used for example by the Lane
Keeping Assist - LKA system on vehicles
with ADAS systems.
This camera detects the environmental
luminosity, the headlamps of
oncoming vehicles and the tail lamps
of proceding vehicles in the front area.
In these cases, the system
automatically switches from high
beams to low beams until the
approaching vehicle is out of view.
Futhermore, the digital camera is able
to detect the urban areas and the
inhabited centers and to turn off the
high beams when driving near of one
of them.
The properly working for this feature
(if all the other conditions are met) is
ensured between 21.7 mph (35 km/h)
and 155 mph (250 km/h). Activation Mode
To activate Automatic High Beam
feature:
• Shift the multifunction lever onward
.
• Put the light switch in “AUTO”
position.
• Touch the "Controls" soft-key in the
lower part of the MTC+ display.
• Within 15 seconds, touch the "Auto
High Beam Assist" soft-key to turn
on the feature. • Within 15 seconds, touch the "Auto
High Beam Assist" soft-key a second
time to turn it off.
After these steps, the green indicator
on the upper right side of the TFT
display comes on.
