certain period of time has elapsed. This
varies on a case-by-case basis, in
accordance with the specific operating
conditions.
Note:To preserve the battery charge,
this function cannot be activated when
the engine is off.
Warning!
Persons who are unable to feel pain to
the skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion or
other physical condition must exercise care
when using the seat heater. It may cause
burns even at low temperatures, especially
if used for long periods of time
Do not place anything on the seat or
seatback that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion. This may cause
the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat
that has been overheated could cause
serious burns due to the increased surface
temperature of the seat.
Rear Seats
The rear seats allow for three
passengers.
Note:
Because the rear seat is designed as a
4+1 seat, the middle seat is of limited
use. It is recommended that this seat
only be used by a person who can use
the backrest as a substitute for the
head restraint.
The seats and the seatbelts are
considered as components of the
protection system for the vehicle's
occupants.
Note: Refer to the "Seatbelts" in
"Safety" for further information.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce
the risk of injury by restricting head
movement in the event of a rear impact.
Head restraints should be adjusted so
that the top of the head restraint is
located above the top of your ear.
Warning!
A loose head restraint thrown forward in
a collision or hard stop could cause serious
injury or death to occupants of the vehicle.
Always securely stow removed head
restraints in a location outside the
occupant compartment.
ALL the head restraints MUST be
reinstalled in the vehicle to properly protect
the occupants. Follow the re-installation
instructions above prior to operating the
vehicle or occupying a seat.
Do not place items over the top of the
Reactive Head Restraint, such as coats,
seat covers or portable DVD players. These
items may interfere with the operation of
the Reactive Head Restraint in the event of
a collision and could result in serious injury
or death.GUID-04066S0006EMRear Seat

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.

assistance.
Note: To program Homelink using an
Alternative Code, the car must be
within range of the garage door.
Activate the handbrake and turn the
ignition to ON, without starting the
engine. Proceed as follows:
1. Locate the “Learn” or “Train” button
on the garage door or gate motor. The
color and position may vary depending
on the manufacturer (consult the
garage door or gate manual). Push the
“Learn” or “Train” button (this normally
activates the setting warning light).
2. Push the desired HomeLink button
(1, 2 or 3). When the HomeLink
indicator begins to flash slowly, move
the portable remote control one to three
inches from the HomeLink system
(keeping the programmable button
pushed down).
3. Within 30 seconds, push the
programmed key (1, 2 or 3) and release
it. Push the programmed button a
second time and release it to conclude
the operation. For some motors, the
operation will probably have to be
repeated a third time to end the setting.
The motor should now be capable of
recognizing the signal transmitted by
HomeLink and then open/close the
door or gate.
Programming A Single Key
It is possible to program another
original remote control on an already
programmed HomeLink key by
canceling the previously stored
frequency.

WARNING LIGHTS
AND MESSAGES ON
THE INSTRUMENT
PANEL
The following pages consist of warning
lights and messages.
Note:
The warning light switches on
together with a dedicated message
and/or chime when applicable. These
indications are precautionary and as
such must not be considered as
exhaustive and/or alternative to the
information contained in the Owner’s
Manual, which you are advised to read
carefully in all cases. Always refer to
the information in this section in the
event of a failure indication.
The failure indicators appearing on
the display are divided into two
categories: very serious and less
serious faults. Serious faults are
indicated by a repeated and prolonged
warning "cycle.” Less serious faults are
indicated by a warning "cycle" with a
shorter duration. You can stop the
warning cycle in both cases by
pressing the button located on the
windshield wiper lever. The instrument
panel warning light will stay on until the
cause of the failure is eliminated.

Warning LightWhat It Means What To Do
REAR FOG LIGHT
The warning light switches on when the rear fog light is
activated.
OBD / INJECTION SYSTEM FAILURE
In normal conditions, when the ignition is cycled to ON,
the warning light switches on, but it should switch off as
soon as the engine is started.
The operation of the warning light may be checked by the
traffic police using specific devices. Comply with the laws
and regulations of the country where you are driving.
Injection System Failure
If the warning light remains on, or it switches on while
driving, the injection system is not working properly. The
warning light on constantly signals a malfunction in the
supply/ignition system which could cause high exhaust
emissions, a possible loss of performance, poor
driveability and high consumption.
The warning light switches off if the malfunction
disappears, but is still stored by the system.Under these conditions, the vehicle can continue
travelling at moderate speed but without demanding
excessive effort from the engine or high speed.
Prolonged use of the car with the warning light on
constantly may cause damage. Contact an authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
Catalytic Converter Damaged
If the warning light flashes, it means that the catalytic
converter may be damaged. Release the accelerator pedal to lower the speed of the
engine until the warning light stops flashing. Continue at
moderate speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that
may cause further flashing and contact an authorized
dealer as soon as possible.

Messages On The Display
If the trunk lid is lifted, the camera will
not detect any obstacle behind the
vehicle. The display will show a
dedicated warning message.
Make sure the trunk lid is closed by
pushing next to the lock until it clicks.
Important Notes

the camera range.
REFUELING THE
VEHICLE
Refueling The Vehicle
Before refueling, make sure that the fuel
type is correct.
Also, stop the engine before refueling.
Note: An inefficient catalytic converter
leads to harmful exhaust emissions,
thus contributing to air pollution.
Caution!
Never introduce leaded fuel to the tank,
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
The fuel filler door is unlocked when the
central door locking system is
unlocked. It is automatically locked
when the central locking system is
applied. Opening The Fuel Filler Door
To refuel proceed as follows:
1. Open fuel filler door by pressing on
the point shown by the arrow.
2. Remove the fuel filler cap.
3. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the
filler pipe.
4. When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or
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
one click. This is an indication that cap
is properly tightened.
