THEFT DETERRENT
SYSTEM
(where provided)
Intrusion sensor
(where provided)
The intrusion sensor fig. 6 uses
ultrasonic waves to detect movement
inside the vehicle and to raise an alert of
an intrusion into the vehicle.
The intrusion sensor detects certain
kinds of movement inside the vehicle,
however, it may also respond to
phenomenon outside the vehicle such
as vibrations, loud noise, wind, and air
currents.In order for the intrusion sensor to
operate appropriately, be aware of the
following:
do not hang clothing or objects from
a head restraint;
return the sunvisors to their original
positions;
do not blind the intrusion sensor by
covering it or placing objects over it;
do not allow the intrusion sensor to
get soiled or wipe it with a liquid;
do not shock or cause an impact to
the intrusion sensor or the intrusion
sensor bezel;
do not install seats or seat covers
that are not FCA genuine products;
to prevent obstruction of intrusion
sensor, do not place objects or cargo
near the intrusion sensor that are higher
than the head restraints.How to arm the system
Proceed as follows:
close the windows and the
convertible top securely, switch the
ignition OFF and make sure the bonnet,
convertible top, the doors, and the boot
lid are closed;
press the lock button on the
transmitter or lock the driver's door
from the outside with the auxiliary key.
The hazard warning lights will flash
once.With the advanced keyless
function: press a request switch. The
warning light in the instrument
panel flashes twice per second for
20 seconds. After 20 seconds, the
system is fully armed.
With the intrusion sensor:the
intrusion sensor function can be armed
only when the convertible top is closed.
Even with a window open, the system
can be armed, however, leaving the
windows even partially open can invite
theft, and wind blowing into the vehicle
could trigger the alarm. The intrusion
sensor function can also be cancelled.

With auto-light control
When the headlight switch is in the
AUTOposition, the rear fog light will
turn on once the headlights, the exterior
lights and instrument panel illumination
are on.
Versions without front fog lights
The headlights must be turned on to
turn on the rear fog light.
Activation
To turn on the rear fog light on, rotate
the fog light switch 2 to the
position
(the fog light switch returns to its
original position automatically).
The rear fog light indicator light in the
instrument cluster illuminates while the
rear fog light is on.
Deactivation
To turn the rear fog light off, do any of
the following:
rotate the fog light switch 2 to the
position again (the fog light switch
automatically returns to the
position);
rotate the fog light switch 2 to the
OFF position;
turn the headlight switch 1 to the
OFF position.
TURN SIGNALS
The ignition must be switched ON to
use the turn and lane-change signals.
Move the signal lever down (for a left
turn) or up (for a right turn) to the stop
position. The signal will self-cancel after
the turn is completed.
If the indicator light continues to flash
after a turn, manually return the lever to
its original position.
The turn signal indicators (green)
in the instrument cluster flash
according to the operation of the turn
signal lever to show which signal is
working.
If an indicator light stays on without
flashing or if it flashes abnormally, one
of the turn signal bulbs may be burned
out.LANE CHANGE SIGNALS
Move the lever halfway toward the
direction of the lane change (until the
indicator flashes) and hold it there. It will
return to the off position when released.
Three-flash turn signal
After releasing the turn signal lever, the
turn signal indicator flashes three times.
The operation can be cancelled by
moving the lever in the direction
opposite to which it was operated.
Adaptive Front Lighting
System (AFS)
(where provided)
The adaptive front lighting system (AFS)
automatically adjusts the headlight
beams to the left or right in conjunction
with the operation of the steering wheel
after the headlights have been turned
on.
A system malfunction or operation
conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to “Warning lights on instrument
panel” paragraph in “Knowing the
instrument panel” chapter.

HAZARD WARNING
LIGHTS
CONTROL
Press button fig. 106 to switch the
lights on/off.
Depress the hazard warning flasher and
all the direction indicators will flash. The
hazard warning indicator light
and
in the instrument cluster flash
simultaneously.
EMERGENCY STOP
SIGNAL SYSTEM
The system turns off when it determines
that the brake pedal is released or that
an emergency braking situation no
longer exists based on the reduced
vehicle speed.
If the system determines that such a
situation is occurring, it flashes all the
direction indicators rapidly to caution
the driver of the vehicle following behind
your vehicle of the sudden braking
situation.
This system is designed to determine
whether you are depressing the brake
pedal with greater force than during
normal braking such as in a situation
requiring emergency braking.
If you bring your vehicle to a complete
stop while all the direction indicators are
flashing rapidly, the rapid flashing of all
the direction indicators changes back
to the normal flashing pattern.The emergency stop signal system
does not operate at vehicle speeds
under about 60 km/h.
If the brake pedal is depressed while
driving on slippery roads, the
emergency stop signal system could
operate causing all the direction and
lane change indicators to flash.
