Driver Assist
This menu item allows you to change the settings (#No-
tice LaneSense#and#Intensity LaneSense#) relating to the
LaneSense system (if equipped).
•Notice LaneSense
By selecting this function, you can select the#readiness#
of LaneSense, choosing between the options#Near,##Me-
dium,#or#Far.#
•Intensity LaneSense
Using this function, you can select the force applied to
the steering wheel to keep the car in the roadway through
the electrical drive system due to LaneSense.
Fuel Consumption
This menu item allows you to set the unit of measure-
ment for the#Fuel Consumption and Range.#
•Average Consumption/Instantaneous Consumption
By selecting these options, you can choose the unit of
measurement of the average consumption and the instan-
taneous, choosing between#MPG#or#l/100 km#or
#km/l.#
•Range
By selecting this option, you can choose the unit of
measurement for Range, choosing between#km#or
#miles.”

This function allows you to define two separate trips
called “Trip A” and “Trip B” where the car’s#complete
trips#are monitored in an independent manner.
Both trips can be reset (reset - start of a new trip). To
perform a reset, push and hold the OK button on the
steering wheel controls.
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
•Distance Travelled
•Average Consumption
•Travel Time (driving time)
Quantities Displayed
Distance Travelled
Indicates the distance travelled by the start of the new trip.
Average Consumption
Represents the average fuel consumption since the start
of the new trip.
Travel Time
Elapsed time since the start of the new trip.
OK Button
Short Push Of The Button: display of various param-
eters.
Long Push Of The Button: reset quantities and begin a
new trip.
New trip
Starts after reset:
•#Manual#by pressing theOKbutton.
•#Automatic#when the#distance#reaches the value is
62140 (99999.9 km) or when the#time travel#reaches
the value of 999.59 (999 hours and 59 minutes).
•After each disconnection and reconnection of the bat-
tery.

•AUTO: This four-wheel drive operation is a continu-
ous operation, is fully automatic and can be used on
and off road. This mode balances traction to ensure
maneuverability and acceleration improvement com-
pared to a car with two wheel drive. This mode also
reduces fuel consumption, since it allows the discon-
nect of the drive shaft where conditions permit.
•SNOW: This mode allows you to have greater stability
under conditions of bad weather. For use on and off
road on surfaces with poor traction, such as roads
covered with snow. When in SNOW mode (depending
on certain operating conditions), the transmission may
use second gear (rather than first gear) during
launches, to minimize wheel slippage.
•SAND: For off-road driving or use on surfaces with
poor traction, such as sandy bottoms. The transmission
is set to provide maximum traction.
•MUD: For off-road driving or use on surfaces with
poor traction, such as roads covered by mud or wet
grass.
•ROCK(Trailhawk only): This mode is only available
in 4WD LOW range. The device sets the vehicle to
Selec-Terrain™ Switch (Trailhawk)
358 STARTING AND OPERATING

Cruising Range
Because E-85 fuel contains less energy per gallon/liter
than gasoline, an increase in fuel consumption will be
experienced. The miles per gallon (mpg)/Kilometers per
liter and the driving range will decrease by approxi-
mately 30%, compared to gasoline operation.
Replacement Parts
All fuel and engine components in your Flexible Fuel
Vehicle (FFV) are designed to be compatible with ethanol.
Ethanol compatible service components are required.
CAUTION!
Replacing fuel system components with non-ethanol
compatible components can damage your vehicle.
Maintenance
CAUTION!
Do not use ethanol mixture greater than 85% in your
vehicle. It will cause difficulty in cold starting and
may affect drivability.
ADDING FUEL
The Capless Fuel System uses a flapper placed at the filler
pipe of the fuel tank; it opens and closes automatically
upon insertion/extraction of the fuel nozzle.
The Capless Fuel System is designed so that it prevents
the filling of an incorrect type of fuel.

WARNING!(Continued)
•Unequal tire pressures from one side of the vehicle
to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the
right or left.
•Always drive with each tire inflated to the recom-
mended cold tire inflation pressure.
Both under-inflation and over-inflation affect the stability
of the vehicle and can produce a feeling of sluggish
response or over responsiveness in the steering.
NOTE:
•Unequal tire pressures from side to side may cause
erratic and unpredictable steering response.
•Unequal tire pressure from side to side may cause the
vehicle to drift left or right.
Fuel Economy
Underinflated tires will increase tire rolling resistance
resulting in higher fuel consumption.
Tread Wear
Improper cold tire inflation pressures can cause abnor-
mal wear patterns and reduced tread life, resulting in the
need for earlier tire replacement.
Ride Comfort And Vehicle Stability
Proper tire inflation contributes to a comfortable ride.
Over-inflation produces a jarring and uncomfortable
ride.
