Air recirculation is on.
The A/C compressor is off.
Thefanisoff.
The heated rear window can be
activated/deactivated.
Note:
The climate control system stores the
previously set temperatures and
resumes operation when any button on
the system is pushed.
Switching On The Climate Control
System
To switch the climate control system on
in automatic mode, push the AUTO
button.
Stop/Start Evo
The climate control system manages
the Stop/Start Evo system. Stop/Start
Evo has the engine shut off when
vehicle speed is 0 mph (0 km/h) to
maintain comfort within the vehicle.
Stop/Start Evo will deactivate in the
following scenarios:
The climate control system is in
AUTO mode (indicator illuminated), and
the vehicle has yet to reach the set
temperature
The LO setting is active
MAX-DEF status is active
When the Stop/Start Evo system is
active, the engine will restart if the
inside temperature changes
significantly, or if the LO setting, or
MAX-DEF setting, is activated.
With Stop/Start Evo system on, air flow
is reduced to keep the compartment
comfort conditions for longer.
Until the temperature drastically
changes within the cabin, the climate
control system will continue to maintain
the temperature while the engine is off.
By deactivating the Stop/Start Evo
system with the
button located on
the dashboard, the climate control
system will take priority over the engine
shutting off. Note:
In harsh climate conditions, limit the
use of the Stop/Start Evo system to
prevent the compressor from
continuously switching on and off. This
will cause rapid misting of the windows
and the accumulation of humidity in
the passenger compartment.
When the Stop/Start Evo system is
on, the climate control system will
always take air in from outside,
reducing the probability of the windows
fogging up.
Additional Heater —
If Equipped
Note:
The additional heater automatically
operates if the outside temperature and
engine coolant temperature are low.
The heater will not operate if battery
voltage is low.
System Maintenance
In winter, the Climate Control System
must be turned on at least once a
month for approximately 10 minutes.
Have the system inspected at an
authorized dealer before the summer.

you haven’t healed significantly within a
few days, or if you have any blistering,
see your doctor immediately.
As the air bags deflate, you may see
some smoke-like particles. The
particles are a normal by-product of the
process that generates the non-toxic
gas used for air bag inflation. These
airborne particles may irritate the skin,
eyes, nose, or throat. If you have skin or
eye irritation, rinse the area with cool
water. For nose or throat irritation, move
to fresh air. If the irritation continues,
see your doctor. If these particles settle
on your clothing, follow the garment
manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
Do not drive your vehicle after the air
bags have deployed. If you are involved
in another collision, the air bags will not
be in place to protect you.
Warning!
Deployed air bags and seat belt
pretensioners cannot protect you in
another collision. Have the air bags, seat
belt pretensioners, and the seat belt
retractor assemblies replaced by an
authorized dealer immediately. Also, have
the Occupant Restraint Controller System
serviced as well.
Note:
Air bag covers may not be obvious
in the interior trim, but they will open
during air bag deployment.
After any collision, the vehicle
should be taken to an authorized
dealer immediately.
Enhanced Accident Response
System
In the event of an impact, if the
communication network remains intact,
and the power remains intact,
depending on the nature of the event,
the ORC will determine whether to have
the Enhanced Accident Response
System perform the following functions:
Cut off fuel to the engine.
Flash hazard lights as long as the
battery has power or until the hazard
light button is pressed. The hazard
lights can be deactivated by pressing
the hazard light button.
Turn on the interior lights, which
remain on as long as the battery has
power or for 15 minutes from the
intervention of the Enhanced Accident
Response System.
Unlock the power door locks.
Turn off the Fuel Pump Heater
(if equipped).
Turn off the HVAC Blower Motor.
Close the HVAC Circulation Door.
Enhanced Accident Response
System Reset Procedure
After the event occurs, when the
system is active, a message regarding
fuel cutoff is displayed. Turn the ignition
switch from ignition START or ON/RUN
to ignition STOP/OFF. Carefully check
the vehicle for fuel leaks in the engine
compartment and on the ground near
the engine compartment and fuel tank
before resetting the system and starting
the engine.
Depending on the nature of the event
the left and right turn signal lights,
located in the instrument panel, may
both be blinking and will continue to
blink. In order to move your vehicle to
the side of the road, you must follow
the system reset procedure.

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.
After Starting —
Warming Up The Engine
Proceed as follows:Travel slowly, letting the engine run at
a reduced RPM, without accelerating
suddenly.
It is recommended to wait until the
digital engine coolant temperature
indicator starts to rise for maximum
performance.
Stopping The Engine
To stop the engine, proceed as follows:
1. Park the vehicle in a position that is
not dangerous for oncoming traffic.
2. Engage the PARK (P) mode.
3. With engine idling, press the
START/STOP button on the steering
wheel to STOP the engine.
Note: Do not leave the ignition in ON
mode when the engine is off.
To shut off the engine with vehicle
speed greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), you
must push and hold the ignition or push
the START/STOP button three times
consecutively within a few seconds.
The engine will shut down, and the
ignition will be placed in the ON mode
With the keyless ignition system, it is
possible to go away from the vehicle
taking the key fob with you, without the
engine switching off. The vehicle will
inform about the absence of the key on
board, only if the doors are closed. Stopping the engine (cycling from the
ON to the STOP position) the
accessories are still powered for about
three minutes, or until a door is opened.
When the ignition is in the STOP/OFF
mode, the window switches remain
active for three minutes. Opening a
front door will cancel this function.
After severe driving, idle the engine to
allow the temperature inside the engine
compartment to cool before shutting off
the engine.
Turbocharger Cool
Down
Before switching the engine off, keep it
idling for a few minutes so that the
turbocharger can be suitably lubricated.
This procedure is particularly
recommended after severe driving.
After a full load operation, keep the
engine idling for three to five minutes
before switching it off.
This time allows the lubricating oil and
the engine coolant to eliminate the
excessive heat from combustion
chamber, bearings, inner components
and turbocharger.

The gear selector is characterized by a
joystick-type operation, with automatic
return in the central position. It can be
pressed twice forwards and twice
backwards, based on the starting
condition.
The PARK (P) mode can be
enabled/disabled by pushing the PARK
(P) button.
To transition the vehicle into REVERSE
(R) mode from DRIVE (D) mode, or into
DRIVE (D) mode from REVERSE (R)
mode, it is necessary to move the gear
selector by pushing the gear selector
button.
When using the "sequential"
transmission, activate it by moving the
gear selector from DRIVE (D) to the leftand then forward towards the - symbol
or backwards towards the + symbol
and the gear is changed.
To shift out of PARK (P), or to pass from
position NEUTRAL (N) to position
DRIVE (D) or REVERSE (R), the vehicle
must be moving at a low speed or
stopped, and the brake pedal must also
be pressed.
Note:
DO NOT accelerate while shifting
from position PARK (P) or NEUTRAL
(N) to another position.
After selecting a gear, wait a few
seconds before accelerating. This
precaution is particularly important with
engine cold.
Transmission Operating
Modes
PARK (P)
The transmission is locked in this mode.
The engine can be started in this mode.
Note: Never try to engage PARK (P)
mode when the vehicle is moving.
Before leaving the vehicle, make sure
this mode is engaged (letter P shown
on the display and gear selector) and
that the park brake is engaged.
When parking on a flat surface, first
engage the PARK (P) mode and then
engage the electric park brake. When parking uphill, before activating
the PARK (P) mode, engage the electric
park brake. Otherwise, it could be
difficult to engage the (P) mode.
To check that the PARK (P) mode is
actually engaged, make sure (P) is
illuminated on the display and on the
gear selector.
Warning!
Never use the PARK position as a
substitute for the park brake. Always apply
the park brake fully when parked to guard
against vehicle movement and possible
injury or damage.
Your vehicle could move and injure you
and others if it is not in PARK. Check by
trying to move the gear selector out of
PARK with the brake pedal released. Make
sure the transmission is in PARK before
leaving the vehicle.
It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or
NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher
than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly
pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle could
accelerate quickly forward or in reverse.
You could lose control of the vehicle and hit
someone or something. Only shift into gear
when the engine is idling normally and your
foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.

STARTING AND OPERATING

Unintended movement of a vehicle
could injure those in or near the vehicle. As
with all vehicles, you should never exit a
vehicle while the engine is running. Before
exiting a vehicle, always apply the park
brake, shift the transmission into PARK,
and turn the ignition STOP/OFF. When the
ignition is in the STOP/OFF mode, the
transmission is locked in PARK, securing
the vehicle against unwanted movement.
When leaving the vehicle, always make
sure the ignition is in the STOP/OFF mode,
remove the key fob from the vehicle, and
lock the 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 park 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), and do not leave the ignition in
the ON mode. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
Caution!
Before moving the transmission gear
selector out of PARK, you must press the
ignition button to cycle from STOP/OFF
mode to the ON mode, and also press the
brake pedal. Otherwise, damage to the
gear selector could result.
DO NOT race the engine when shifting
from PARK or NEUTRAL into another gear
range, as this can damage the drivetrain.
REVERSE (R)
Select this mode only with the vehicle at
a standstill.
NEUTRAL (N)
Use this range when the vehicle is
standing for prolonged periods with the
engine running. The engine may be
started in this range. Apply the electric
park brake and shift the transmission
into PARK (P) if you must leave the
vehicle.
Warning!
Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn
off the ignition to coast down a hill. These
are unsafe practices that limit your
response to changing traffic or road
conditions. You might lose control of the
vehicle and have a collision.
DRIVE (D)
Use this mode in normal driving
conditions.
Shifting from DRIVE (D) to PARK (P) or
REVERSE (R) modes must take place
only after releasing the accelerator
pedal, with vehicle at a standstill and
brake pedal pressed.
This mode ensures automatic
engagement of the most suitable gears
for driving needs and maximum fuel
economy in terms of consumption.
In this position, the transmission shifts
the gears automatically, selecting the
most suitable for forward driving among
those available as you go. In this way
the vehicle's optimal driving
characteristics are provided for all
conditions.
AutoStick
In the case of frequent shifting (e.g. for
sport driving, when the vehicle is driven
with a heavy load, on slopes, when
towing heavy trailers), it is
recommended to use the Autostick
(sequential shifting) mode to select and
keep a lower fixed ratio.
In these conditions, the use of a lower
gear improves vehicle performance,
preventing overheating.
It is possible to shift from DRIVE (D)
mode to sequential mode regardless of
vehicle speed.

authorized dealer at your earliest
possible convenience. Your authorized
dealer has diagnostic equipment to
determine if the problem could reoccur.
If the transmission cannot be reset,
service is required at your authorized
dealer.
Brake/Transmission
Shift Interlock System
This vehicle is equipped with a Brake
Transmission Shift Interlock system
(BTSI) that holds the gear selector in
PARK (P) unless the brakes are applied.
This system prevents you from moving
the gear selector from position PARK
(P) unless the brakes are applied.
To shift the transmission out of PARK
(P), the ignition must be cycled to the
AVV mode (engine running or not) and
the brake pedal must be pressed.
Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock
Disabling
Only if strictly necessary (e.g. pushing
the vehicle, conveyor vehicle washing
systems) inhibit the automatic activation
of PARK (P) mode when stopping the
engine, or proceed as described below:
1. Car at a standstill.
2. NEUTRAL (N) mode activated.
3. Push the ignition button for at least
three seconds.The automatic park brake engagement
function when the engine is stopped
can also be deactivated on the Connect
system by selecting the following
functions on the main menu: "Settings",
"Driver Assistance" and "Automatic
Parking Brake".
Important Notes
Failure to comply with what is reported
below may damage the transmission:
Shift into PARK (P) mode only with
the vehicle at a standstill.
Select REVERSE (R) mode, or pass
from REVERSE to another mode only
with the vehicle at a standstill and
engine idling.
Do not change between PARK (P),
REVERSE (R), NEUTRAL (N) or DRIVE
(D) modes with engine running at a
speed above idling.
Before activating any transmission
operating mode, fully depress the brake
pedal.
Note: The unexpected movement of
the vehicle can injure the occupants or
people nearby. Do not leave the vehicle
with engine running: before getting out
of the passenger compartment always
engage the electric park brake, select
the PARK (P) mode, stop the engine.
With the ignition device in the STOP
position, the transmission is locked in
the PARK (P) position in order to
prevent accidental vehicle movement. If equipped with keyless ignition, do not
leave the key fob near the vehicle (or in
a place accessible to children), and do
not leave the ignition on.
A child could activate the electric
windows, other controls, or even start
the engine; it is dangerous to select a
mode other than PARK (P) or NEUTRAL
(N) at an engine speed higher than idling.
If the brake pedal is not fully depressed,
the vehicle could rapidly accelerate.
Only engage the gear with engine at
idling while fully depressing the brake
pedal. If the transmission temperature
exceeds the normal operating limits, the
transmission control unit may change
the gear engagement order and reduce
the drive torque. If the transmission
overheats, the display shows the
symbol. In this case, the
transmission could operate incorrectly
until it cools down.
When using the vehicle with extremely
low external temperatures, the
transmission operation may change
depending on the engine and
transmission temperature, as well as
vehicle speed. Activation of the torque
converter clutch and of the eighth or
ninth gear is inhibited until the
transmission oil is correctly warmed up.
Complete operation of the transmission
will be enabled as soon as the fluid
temperature reaches the predefined
value.
