1. Briefly push the ignition button
2. If the engine does not start, wait five
seconds and let the starter cool down
and then repeat the starting procedure

eight attempts, let the starter cool down
for at least 10 seconds, and then repeat
the starting procedure
If the problem persists, contact your
authorized dealer.
Note:
After prolonged vehicle inactivity,
very difficult starting, that can be
noticed through rapid fatigue of the

flat battery. In this case, see the
"Emergency Starting" section in the "In
Case Of Emergency" chapter.
If Engine Fails To Start
Starting the Engine with Key Fob
Battery Run Down or Drained
If the ignition does not respond when
the button is pushed, the key fob
battery might be run down or drained.
Therefore, the system does not detect
the presence of the key fob in the
vehicle, and will display a dedicated
message.
In this case, follow the instructions
outlined in "Starting With A Discharged
Key Fob Battery" in the "Getting To
Know Your Vehicle" chapter, and start
the engine normally.
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.

STARTING AND OPERATING

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
on the display, it means that there is a
system fault.
In this case, it is still possible to drive
the vehicle, but you are advised to
contact an authorized dealer as soon
as possible.

leads to harmful exhaust emissions,
thus contributing to air pollution.

even in small amounts in an emergency, as
this would damage the catalytic converter
beyond repair.
Refueling Capacity
To ensure that you fill the tank
completely, top off twice after the first
click of the fuel nozzle.
Further top-off could cause faults in the
fuel feeding system.
Refueling Procedure

shuts off, before removing the nozzle,
wait for at least 10 seconds in order for
the fuel to flow inside the tank.
5. Remove the fuel filler nozzle, tighten
the gas cap about ¼ turn until you hear
