Homelink — If Equipped
Description
Homelink is a fixed system installed on
the vehicle. It can sync up to three
different devices that activate garage
doors, gates, lighting systems, and
home or office alarm systems.
Programming
Warning!
Vehicle exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run
your vehicle in the garage while
programming the transceiver. Exhaust gas
can cause serious injury or death.
Your motorized door or gate will open
and close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the
transceiver if people, pets or other objects
are in the path of the door or gate. Only
use this transceiver with a garage door
opener that has a “stop and reverse”
feature as required by Federal safety
standards. This includes most garage door
opener models manufactured after 1982.
Do not use a garage door opener without
these safety features. Call toll-free
1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet at
HomeLink.com for safety information or
assistance.

The system warns the driver about the
presence of vehicles in the detection
area by lighting up, on the relevant side,
the warning light located on the door
mirror.
When the engine is started the warning
light turns on to signal the driver that
the system is active.
Sensors
The sensors are activated when any
forward gear is engaged at a speed
higher than approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h) or when reverse is engaged.
The sensors are temporarily deactivated
when the vehicle is stationary and the
PARK (P) mode active.
The detection area of the system
covers approximately a lane on both
sides of the vehicle which is around 9 ft
(3 m).This area begins from the door mirror
and extends for approximately 19 ft
(6 m) towards the rear part of the
vehicle.
When the sensors are active, the
system monitors the detection areas on
both sides of the vehicle and warns the
driver about the possible presence of
vehicles in these areas.
While driving, the system monitors the
detection area from three different input
points (side, rear and front) to check
whether a alert needs to be sent to the
driver. The system can detect the
presence of a vehicle in one of these
three areas.
Note:
The system does not alert the driver
for the presence of fixed object (e.g.
safety barriers, poles, walls, etc.).
However, in some circumstances, the
system may activate in the presence of
these objects. This is normal and does
not indicate a system malfunction.
The system does not alert the driver
about the presence of vehicles coming
from the opposite direction, in the
adjacent lanes.
Warning!
The Blind Spot Monitoring system is only
an aid to help detect objects in the blind
spot zones. The BSM system is not
designed to detect pedestrians, bicyclists,
or animals. Even if your vehicle is equipped
with the BSM system, always check your
vehicle’s mirrors, glance over your
shoulder, and use your turn signal before
changing lanes. Failure to do so can result
in serious injury or death.
Important Notes
If a trailer is hitched to the vehicle, the
system automatically deactivates.
For the system to operate correctly, the
rear bumper area where the radar
sensors are located must stay free from
snow, ice and dirt gathered from the
road surface.
Do not cover the rear bumper area
where the radar sensors are located
with any object (e.g. adhesives, bike
rack, etc.).
If you wish to install the tow hook after
purchasing the vehicle, you need to
deactivate the system via the Connect
system. To access the function, select
the following items in sequence on the
main menu: "Settings", "Safety", and
"Blind Spot Alert".

SAFETY

Rear View
The system detects vehicles coming
from the rear part of your vehicle on
both sides and entering the rear
detection area with a difference in
speed of less than 31 mph (50 km/h)
with relation to your vehicle.
Overtaking Vehicles
If another vehicle is overtaken slowly,
with a difference in speed of less than
approximately 15 mph (25 km/h) and
the vehicle stays in the blind spot for
approximately 1.5 seconds, the
warning light on the door mirror of the
corresponding side lights up.
If the difference in speed between the
two vehicles is greater than
approximately 15 mph (25 km/h), the
warning light does not light up.
Rear Cross Path Detection (RCP)
System
This system helps the driver during
reverse maneuvers in the case of
reduced visibility.
The RCP system monitors the rear
detection areas on both sides of the
vehicle to detect objects moving
towards the sides of the vehicle, with a
minimum speed between approximately
1 mph (1 km/h) and 2 mph (3 km/h)
and objects moving at a maximum
speed of 21 mph (35 km/h), in areas
such as parking lots.
The system activation is signaled to the
driver by a visual and acoustic warning.Note:
If the sensors are covered by
objects or vehicles, the system will not
warn the driver.
Warning!
Rear Cross Path Detection (RCP) is not a
back up aid system. It is intended to be
used to help a driver detect an oncoming
vehicle in a parking lot situation. Drivers
must be careful when backing up, even
when using RCP. Always check carefully
behind your vehicle, look behind you, and
be sure to check for pedestrians, animals,
other vehicles, obstructions, and blind
spots before backing up. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.
Operating Mode
The system may be activated/
deactivated via the Connect system. To
access the function, select the following
items on the main menu in sequence:
"Settings", "Safety" and "Blind Spot
Alert".
"Blind Spot Alert", "Visual" Mode
When the system is enabled, a visual
warning is sent to the door mirror on
the side of the detected object.
The visual warning on the mirror will
blink if the driver switches on the
direction indicators, thus indicating the
intention to change lane.
The warning will be fixed if the driver
stays in the same lane. "Blind Spot Alert" Function
Deactivation
When the system is deactivated ("Blind
Spot Alert" mode off), the BSM or RCP
systems will not emit either acoustic or
visual warnings.
The BSM system will store the
operating mode running when the
engine was stopped. Each time the
engine is started, the operating mode
stored previously will be recalled and
used.

If necessary, messages indicating the
starting procedure can be shown in the
display.
Warning!
When leaving the vehicle, always remove
the key fob from the vehicle and lock your
vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle
unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be
seriously or fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the transmission gear
selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat
build-up may cause serious injury or death.
Starting Procedure
Proceed as follows:
1. Apply the electric park brake and set
the gear selector to PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N).
2. Fully depress the brake pedal
without touching the accelerator.
3. Briefly push the ignition button.
4. If the engine doesn't start within a
few seconds, you need to repeat the
procedure.
If the problem persists, contact an
authorized dealer.
Warning!
Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid
into the throttle body air inlet opening in an
attempt to start the vehicle. This could
result in flash fire causing serious personal
injury.
Do not attempt to push or tow your
vehicle to get it started. Vehicles equipped
with an automatic transmission cannot be
started this way. Unburned fuel could enter
the catalytic converter and once the engine
has started, ignite and damage the
converter and vehicle.
If the vehicle has a discharged battery,
booster cables may be used to obtain a
start from a booster battery or the battery
in another vehicle. This type of start can be
dangerous if done improperly. Refer to
“Emergency Starting” in “In Case Of
Emergency” for further information.
Caution!
To prevent damage to the starter, do not
continuously crank the engine for more
than 25 seconds at a time. Wait
60 seconds before trying again.
Remote Starting System
— If Equipped
This system uses the key fob to start
the engine conveniently from outside
the vehicle while still maintaining
security. The system has a range of at
least 300 feet (91 meters).
The remote starting system also
activates the climate control (if
equipped), the heated seats (if
equipped), and the heated steering
wheel (if equipped), depending on
temperatures outside and inside of the
car.
Note:
The vehicle must be equipped with
an automatic transmission in order to
include remote start.
Obstructions between the vehicle
and key fob may reduce this range.

Deactivation
The system is deactivated and the set
speed is canceled if:
Thebutton on the Active Cruise
Control is pushed (with the system
enabled or paused).
The ignition is in STOP mode.
RACE mode is activated.
The system is canceled (the set speed
and distance are stored):
When the system is paused (Refer to
the “Activation / Deactivation” section).
When the conditions shown in the
“Setting The Desired Speed” section
occur.
Limited Operation
Warning
If the dedicated message is shown on
the display, a condition limiting the
Adaptive Cruise Control operation may
have occurred.
This could be due to an obstruction of
the vehicles sensor or camera. It could
also be due to a fault in the system. If
an obstruction is detected, clean the
area of the windshield opposite the
interior rear view mirror, where the
camera is located, as well as the area
of the front bumper where the sensor is
located. Then check that the message
has disappeared. When the conditions limiting the system
functions end, normal operation will
resume.
Should the fault persist, contact an
authorized dealer.
Precautions While
Driving
The system may not work correctly in
some driving conditions (see below):
the driver must control the vehicle at all
times.
Vehicle Not Aligned
The system may not detect a vehicle
travelling in the same lane, in the same
direction, but is not aligned. It also may
not detect a vehicle which is cutting in
from a side lane. Sufficient distance
from the vehicles ahead may not be
guaranteed in these cases.
The non-aligned vehicle can weave in
and out of the driving lane causing the
vehicle to brake or accelerate
unexpectedly.
Steering And Curves
Driving on curves with the system set
could limit speed and acceleration to
guarantee vehicle stability, even if no
vehicles are detected ahead.
When leaving the curve, the system
resets the previously set speed.
Note:
In cases of narrow curves, the
performance of the system could be
limited. In this case, it is advisable to
deactivate the system.
Using The System On Slopes
When driving on roads with a variable
incline, the system may not detect the
presence of a vehicle in the lane.
System performance could be limited
according to speed, load, traffic
conditions and steep slopes.
Lane Change
The system may not detect the
presence of a vehicle until it is fully in
your lane.

Caution!
Do not tamper with nor operate on the
camera. Do not close the openings in the
aesthetic cover located under the interior
rear view mirror. In the event of a failure of
the camera, contact an authorized dealer.
The camera may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow,
formation of ice layers on the windshield.
Camera operation may also be
compromised by the presence of dust,
condensation, dirt or ice on the windshield,
by traffic conditions (e.g. vehicles that are
driving not aligned with yours, vehicle
driving in a transverse or opposite way on
the same lane, bend with a small radius of
curvature), by road surface conditions and
by driving conditions (e.g. off-road driving).
Make sure the windshield is always clean.
Use specific detergents and clean cloths to
avoid scratching the windshield. The
camera operation may also be limited or
absent in some driving, traffic and road
surface conditions.
If the windshield must be replaced due
to scratches, chipping or breakage,
contact exclusively an authorized dealer.
Do not replace the windshield on your own.
It is advisable to replace the windshield if it
is damaged in the area of the camera.

STARTING AND OPERATING

When the system is active and the lane
limits have not been detected, the
display shows a grey vehicle icon.
Exiting a lane with detection of a
single limit
When the system is active and only, for
example, the left lane limit has been
detected, the detected lane illuminates
in white on the display; the system is
ready to provide visual warnings on the
display in the event of unintentional
exiting of the lane (turn signal not
activated) to the left.When the system detects that the
vehicle has approached the lane line
and is about to pass it, the left line on
the display illuminates in yellow.
The system operates in the same way,
but mirrored, in the event of exiting the
right lane when only the right lane limit
has been detected.Exiting a lane with detection of
both limits
When the system is active, both lane
lines on the display illuminate in white to
indicate the successful detection of
both limits.
When lane limits are detected, the
system is ready to provide indications in
case the driver unintentionally leaves
the lane (turn signal not activated).

As the Lane Departure Warning system
detects the lane limits while the vehicle
is in motion, it will adjust the display
accordingly (from white to yellow and
vice versa, and increase their
thickness).
If a line is crossed, the driver is alerted
by an audible signal as well as the
visual indication in the instrument
cluster. The signal is emitted through
the speakers on the side of the lane
limit which is being crossed (eg. if the
vehicle is exceeding the left line of the
lane, the audible signal will come from
the speakers on the left of the vehicle).
Changing The System Settings
The system's sensitivity can be set
through the Connect system. Sensitivity
“High” or “Low” can be selected.To access the function, from the main
menu select the following in order:
1. “Settings”
2. “Safety”
3. “Lane Departure Warning”
4. “Sensitivity”
Limited Operation Warning
If a message appears on the display, a
condition limiting the Lane Departure
Warning system operation may have
occurred. This could be an obstruction
of the camera view, or a fault in the
system.
If an obstruction is detected, clean the
area of the windshield by the interior
rear view mirror.
Although the vehicle can still be driven
in normal conditions, the system may
not function properly.
When the conditions limiting the system
are corrected, it will go back to normal
operation. Should a fault persist,
contact an authorized dealer.
System Failure Warning
If the system turns off and
appears
