GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

5. Raise the hood completely. The
operation is assisted by the addition of
two gas props which hold it in the open
position.
Note:
Do not tamper with the props and
assist the hood while lifting it.
Use both hands to lift the hood.
Before lifting, check that the windshield
wiper arms are not raised from the
windshield or in operation, that the
vehicle is stationary and that the electric
park brake is engaged.
Closing
As the hood is extremely light, to close
the hood, lower it to approximately
16 inches (40 cm) from the engine
compartment then apply a slight
pressure downward and drop the hood.
Make sure that the hood is completely
closed and fully latched. If it is not
perfectly closed, do not try to push the
hood down but open it and repeat the
procedure
Note: Always check that the hood is
closed correctly to prevent it from
opening while the vehicle is traveling.
Since the hood is equipped with a double
locking system, one for each side, you
must check that it is closed on both its
side ends.
Warning!
Be sure the hood is fully latched before
driving your vehicle. If the hood is not fully
latched, it could open when the vehicle is in
motion and block your vision. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
injury or death.
TRUNK
The trunk unlocking is electrically
operated and is deactivated when the
vehicle is in motion.
Opening
Opening From The Outside
When unlocked, the trunk lid can be
opened from outside the vehicle using
the exterior trunk lid release button
located between the plate lights. Push
the button until you hear a “click.” The
trunk lid can also be opened by quickly
pushing the exterior trunk lid release
button on the key fob twice.
The turn signal indicators will blink and the
interior lights will turn on when the trunk
lid is opened. They turn off automatically
when the trunk lid is closed.
The lights turn off automatically after a
few minutes if the trunk lid is left open.

Rear Cargo Tie–Downs — If Equipped
There are four hooks inside the trunk for
attaching the cargo net or cables which
can safely secure the cargo.
Note:Do not apply a load greater than
22 lbs (10 kg) on a single hook.
Cargo Net — If Equipped
This is useful for correctly arranging the
cargo and/or for transporting light

Glove Compartment
To open the glove compartment proceed
as follows:
1. If equipped with a lock, unlock the
glove compartment by placing the
emergency key in the lock on the handle.
2. Pull handle to open the glove
compartment.
When the glove compartment is opened,
a light turns on to illuminate the inside of
the compartment.
Note: Do not insert large objects that
will prevent the glove compartment from
closing completely. Always make sure
that the glove compartment is
completely closed when driving.
Sun Visors
The sun visors are located at the sides of
the interior rear view mirror. They can be
adjusted forward and toward the side
window.
To direct the visor toward the side
window, detach the visor from the
interior rear view mirror side hook and
turn it towards the side window.
From this position, the sun visor can also
be extended toward to rear of the vehicle
for additional blockage of sunlight.
Courtesy mirrors with lights are fitted on
the back of the sun visors and can be
used even in poor light conditions.
Note: A rear facing child restraint
system should never be fitted in the front
passenger seat. Always comply with the
instructions on the sun visor. Refer to
"Child Restraints" in "Safety" for more
information.

The screen graphically reproduces some
parameters closely linked to the
efficiency of the driving style, with a view
to limiting consumption.
Advanced Efficiency
The three center icons on the screen
indicate the effectiveness of the driving
style, linked to the following parameters:
acceleration, deceleration and gear
shifts, with a view to limiting
consumption. The bar below the icons
shows current consumption and the
green line represents the optimal area.
The globe lights up gradually according to
lower consumption.
Dynamic
The displayed parameters are related to
vehicle stability, the graphs illustrate the
trend of the longitudinal/lateral
accelerations (G-meter information),
considering gravity acceleration as a
reference unit.
Lateral acceleration peaks are also
indicated.

WARNING LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES ON THE
INSTRUMENT PANEL
The following pages consist of warning
lights and messages.
Note:
The warning light turns 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 pushing the button located on
the windshield wiper stalk. The
instrument panel warning light will stay
on until the cause of the failure is
eliminated.

Red Warning Lights
Warning LightWhat It Means What To Do
INSUFFICIENT BRAKE FLUID/ELECTRIC PARK
BRAKE ON
This light monitors various brake functions, including brake
fluid level and parking brake application. If the brake light
turns on it may indicate that the parking brake is applied,
that the brake fluid level is low, or that there is a problem
with the anti-lock brake system reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake has been
disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full mark on the
master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake
hydraulic system malfunction or that a problem with the
Brake Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock Brake
System (ABS) / Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system.
In this case, the light will remain on until the condition has
been corrected. If the problem is related to the Brake
Booster, the ABS pump will run when applying the brake,
and a brake pedal pulsation may be felt during each stop.Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked by
turning the ignition switch from the OFF position to the
ON/RUN position. The light should illuminate for
approximately four seconds. The light should then turn off
unless the parking brake is applied or a brake fault is
detected. If the light does not illuminate, have the light
inspected by an authorized dealer.
The light also will turn on when the parking brake is applied
with the ignition switch in the ON/RUN position.
This light shows only that the parking brake is applied.
It does not show the degree of brake application.
For low brake fluid level, go to an authorized dealer to have
the system checked as soon as possible.
Release the electric park brake, then check that the
warning light has turned off.
If the warning light stays on, contact an authorized dealer.
ELECTRONIC BRAKING FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
FAILURE
The simultaneous turning on of the BRAKE (red) and
(amber) warning lights with the engine on indicates
either a failure of the EBD system or that the system is not
available. In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock
and the vehicle may swerve when braking abruptly. Drive very carefully to the nearest authorized dealer to
have the system inspected immediately.
