SEATS
Manual Adjustment
Forward / Rearward
To move the seat forward or rearward,
pull the adjustment bar. Release the bar
once the desired position is reached.
Using body pressure, move forward
and rearward on the seat to be sure
that the seat adjusters have latched.
Height
To adjust the height for front edge of
the seat bottom, rotate the dial to the
desired position.Seat Recline
To recline the seatback, lift up the
recline lever, lean back until the desired
position has been reached, and release
the lever. Make sure the lever returns to
its original position and the seatback is
locked in place by attempting to push it
forward and rearward.
Warning!
Adjusting a seat while driving may be
dangerous. Moving a seat while driving
could result in loss of control which could
cause a collision and serious injury or
death.
Seats should be adjusted before
fastening the seat belts and while the
vehicle is parked. Serious injury or death
could result from a poorly adjusted seat
belt.
Do not ride with the seatback reclined
so that the shoulder belt is no longer
resting against your chest. In a collision you
could slide under the seat belt, which could
result in serious injury or death.
Heated Seats
On some models, the front driver and
passenger seats may be equipped with
heaters in both the seat cushions and
seatbacks. The controls for the front
heated seats are located on the center
instrument panel.
The heated seats have three settings;
High, Medium, and Low. Push the
switch once to turn the heated seats on
High, twice for Medium, and three times
for Low.
Note:
If the ignition is switched off while
the seat warmer is operating (High,
Mid or Low) and then switched ON
again, the seat warmer will
automatically operate at the
temperature set before switching off
the ignition.
Use the seat warmer when the
engine is running. Leaving the seat
warmer on for long periods with the
engine not running could discharge the
battery.
The temperature of the seat warmer
cannot be adjusted beyond High, Mid
and Low.

Daytime Running Lights
(DRL)
The daytime running lights turn on
automatically when the vehicle starts
moving.
They turn off when the parking brake is
engaged or the gear selector is shifted
to the Park (P) position (if equipped with
automatic transmission).
Note:In some markets, the daytime
running lights can be deactivated. For
markets that allow deactivation, refer to
“Personalization Features” in “Knowing
Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
High Beams
The headlights can be switched
between high and low beams by
moving the lever forward or backward.
When the headlight high-beams are on,
the
high beam indicator is
illuminated.
Flash To Pass
You can signal another vehicle with your
headlights by partially pulling the
headlight lever toward the steering
wheel. This will cause the high beam
headlights to turn on until the lever is
released.
The
high beam indicator in the
instrument cluster illuminates
simultaneously.
Automatic Lighting
When the headlight switch is in the
AUTO position and the ignition is
switched ON, the light will sense the
surrounding lightness or darkness and
automatically turns the headlights, other
exterior lights and dashboard
illumination on or off.
Note: Do not shade the light sensor by
placing a sticker or a label on the
windshield. Otherwise the light sensor
will not operate correctly.
The light sensor also works as a rain
sensor for the auto-wiper control. Keep
hands and scrapers clear of the
windshield when the wiper lever is in
the AUTO position and the ignition is
switched ON as fingers could be
pinched or the wipers and wiper blades
damaged when the wipers activate
automatically. If you are going to clean the windshield, be sure the wipers are
turned off completely when the engine
is running.
Note:
The headlights, other exterior lights
and dashboard lights may not turn off
immediately even if the surrounding
area becomes well-lit because the light
sensor determines that it is night time if
the surrounding area is continuously
dark for several minutes such as inside
long tunnels, traffic jams inside tunnels,
or in indoor parking lots. In this case,
the lights turn off if the light switch is
turned to the OFF position.
When the headlight switch is in the
AUTO position and the ignition is
switched to ACC or the ignition is
switched off, the headlights, other
exterior lights and dashboard
illumination will turn off.
The dashboard lights can be
adjusted by rotating the knob in the
instrument cluster. The day/night mode
can be changed by rotating the knob
until a beep sound is heard.

Odometer / Trip
Computer
The display mode can be changed from
odometer to “Trip computer A” to “Trip
computer B” and then back to
odometer by pushing the selector while
one of them is displayed.
The selected mode will be displayed.
When the ignition is placed in the ACC

for a ten-minute period in the following
cases:
After the ignition is cycled to OFF
from ON.
After the driver's door is opened. Odometer
The odometer records the total
distance the vehicle has been driven.
Trip Computer
The trip computer can record the total
distance of two trips. One is recorded in
“Trip A”, and the other is recorded in
“Trip B”.
For instance, “Trip A” can record the
distance from the point of origin, and
“Trip B” can record the distance from
where the fuel tank is filled.
When “Trip A” is selected, pushing the
selector again within one second will
change to “Trip B” mode. When “Trip A”
is selected, TRIP A will be displayed.
When “Trip B” is selected, TRIP B will
be displayed.
The trip computer records the total
distance the vehicle is driven until the
meter is again reset. Return it to “0.0”
by depressing and holding the selector
for one second or more.
Use this meter to measure trip
distances and to compute fuel
consumption.
Versions With Fiat Connect 7.0
:if
the fuel economy data is reset using the
fuel economy monitor or Trip A is reset
using the trip meter, the fuel economy
data and Trip A are reset simultaneously
when the fuel economy monitor with
the trip meter is on, .
Note: Only the trip records tenths of
miles (kilometers). Trip Computer Reset
The trip computer will be erased when:
The power supply is interrupted
(blown fuse or the battery is
disconnected).
The vehicle is driven over
9999.9 miles.
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the speed
of the vehicle.
Instrument Panel
Illumination
When the position lights are turned on
with the ignition switched ON, the
brightness of the instrument panel
illumination is dimmed. When the
position lights are turned on,
the
warning light in the instrument
cluster turns on (see “Headlights” in
“Getting To Know Your Vehicle”
chapter).
Brightness Adjustment
The brightness of the instrument panel
and dashboard illuminations can be
adjusted by rotating the knob:
The brightness decreases by
rotating the knob to the left. A beep

The brightness increasesby
rotating the knob to the right.
Cancelling Illumination Dimmer
Rotate the knob to the right until a beep
is heard while the instrument cluster is
dimmed with the ignition switched ON.
If the instrument cluster's visibility is
reduced due to glare from surrounding
brightness, cancel the illumination
dimmer.
When the illumination dimmer is
canceled, the instrument cluster cannot
be dimmed even if the position lights
are turned on. When the illumination
dimmer is canceled, the screen in the
center display switches to constant
display of the daytime screen.Trip Computer And Info
Switch
The following information can be
selected by pushing the INFO switch
with the ignition in the ON position:
Distance-to-empty (approximate
distance you can travel on the available
fuel).
Average fuel economy.
Current fuel economy.
Average vehicle speed.
If you have any problems with your trip
computer, contact an Authorized
Dealership. Distance-To-Empty Mode
This mode displays the approximate
distance you can travel on the
remaining fuel based on the fuel
economy.
The distance-to-empty will be
calculated and displayed every second.
Note:
Even though the distance-to-empty
display may indicate a sufficient
amount of remaining driving distance
before refueling is required, refuel as
soon as possible if the fuel level is very
low or the low fuel warning light
illuminates.
The display may not change unless
you add more than approximately
2.3 gallons (9 liters) of fuel.
