GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

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
The climate control system manages the
Stop/Start system. Stop/Start has the
engine shut off when vehicle speed is
0 mph (0 km/h) to maintain comfort
within the vehicle.
Stop/Start 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 climate control system is in LO
maximum cooling
The climate control system is in HI
maximum heating
The climate control system is in the
MAX-DEF status
When the Stop/Start 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 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 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 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 system is on,
the climate control system will always
take air in from outside, reducing the
probability of the windows fogging up.
System Maintenance
In winter, the Climate Control System
must be turned on at least once a month
for approximately ten minutes.
Have the system inspected at an
authorized dealer before the summer.
POWER WINDOWS
Power Window Switches

TIRE SERVICE KIT
Description
If a tire is punctured, you can make an
emergency repair using the Tire Service
Kit located in the trunk beneath the load
floor.
The Tire Service Kit includes:
Sealant cartridge containing the
sealing fluid.
Filler tube.
Adhesive label with the writing "Max.
50 mph (80 km/h)”, to be attached in a
position easily visible to the driver (eg. on
the dashboard) after repairing the tire.
Air compressor, complete with
pressure gauge and connectors.
An instruction pamphlet for reference
in prompt and correct use of the Tire
Service Kit, which must be then given to
the personnel dealing with the
sealant-treated tire.
A pair of protective gloves.
Adaptors for inflating different
elements.
Note: The sealant is effective with
external temperatures of between -40°F
(-40°C) and 122°F (50°C). The sealant
has an expiration date.
To use the Tire Service Kit, proceed as
follows:
1. Stop the vehicle in a position where
you can repair the tire safely. You should
be as far as possible from the side of the
road, and in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic.
Activate the hazard warning flashers,
remove the safety triangle from the trunk, and place it at a suitable distance
from the vehicle to make other drivers
aware of your presence.
2. Verify that the valve stem (on the
wheel with the deflated tire) is in a
position that is near to the ground. This
will allow the tire service kit hoses to
reach the valve stem and keep the tire
repair kit flat on the ground.
3. Place the gear selector to PARK (P).
4. Apply the electric park brake and
cycle the engine OFF.
Inflation Procedure
Warning!
Do not attempt to seal a tire on the side
of the vehicle closest to traffic. Pull far
enough off the road to avoid the danger of
being hit when using the Tire Service Kit.
Do not use Tire Service Kit or drive the
vehicle under the following circumstances:
If the puncture in the tire tread is
approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) or larger.
If the tire has any sidewall damage.
If the tire has any damage from driving
with extremely low tire pressure.
If the tire has any damage from driving on
a flat tire.
If the wheel has any damage.
