Power Folding
With the power mirror control knob in the
neutral position, rotate it to the power
folding position. Rotate the knob back to
the neutral position to return the mirrors
to the driving position.
If the power mirror control knob is moved
again during door mirror folding (from
closed to open position and vice versa),
the movement direction is reversed.
Automatic Activation
Activating the central door locking
system from outside the vehicle
automatically folds the mirrors. The
mirrors return to the driving position
when the vehicle is then unlocked.
If the door mirrors were folded using the
power mirror control knob, they can only
be returned to the driving position by
rotating the knob again.Note:
The power folding operation can
be enabled only when the vehicle speed is
lower than 31 mph (50 km/h).
Automatic Dimming Mirrors — If
Equipped
Like the electrochromic mirror, an
automatic dimming feature is also
available on the outside rear view mirrors
to prevent glare. The automatic dimming
button for these mirrors is the same as
the electrochromic mirror.
Warning!
Vehicles and other objects seen in an outside
convex mirror will look smaller and farther
away than they really are. Relying too much
on side convex mirrors could cause you to
collide with another vehicle or other object.
Use your inside mirror when judging the size
or distance of a vehicle seen in a side convex
mirror.
Heated Mirrors
Push the rear defrostbutton, located
within the climate controls, to activate
the heated mirrors.

This is a system combined with Xenon
headlights (Bi-Xenon 35 W headlamp if
equipped) which directs the headlights
horizontally, and continuously and
automatically adapts them to the driving
conditions around bends or when
cornering.
The system directs the headlights to light
up the road in the best way, taking into

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Automatic High Beam Headlights — If
Equipped
The Automatic High Beam Headlights
system provides increased forward
lighting at night by automating high beam
control through the use of a digital
camera mounted on the windshield. This
camera detects vehicle specific light and
automatically turns from high beams to
low beams until the approaching vehicle
is out of view.
This function is enabled with the
Information and Entertainment System,
and can only be activated with the light
switch turned to the
(auto) position.
If the high beam headlights are on, the
blue icon/warning light
will illuminate
in the instrument panel.
When the speed is higher than 37 mph
(60 km/h) and the function is active, the
lights will turn off if the multifunction
lever is pushed again.
When the speed is lower than 15 mph
(25 km/h) and the function is active, the
function turns the high beam headlights
off.
If the high beam headlights are operated
again (pushing the multifunction lever
towards the instrument panel), the
warning light/icon
will illuminate in the
instrument panel, and the main beam
headlights only will be on until the speed
exceeds 37 mph (60 km/h).
When the speed of 37 mph (60 km/h) is
exceeded again, the automatic
functioning is reactivated. If the multifunction lever is pushed again
with the Automatic High Beam
Headlights activated, the function
deactivates.
This feature can also be deactivated by
rotating the headlight switch to the
position.
Note: If the system recognizes heavy
traffic areas, the automatic functions
remain disabled independently of the
vehicle’s speed.
Turn Signals
To activate the turn signals, move the
multifunction lever, located on the left
side of the steering wheel, up or down
until it reaches the detent. Moving the
lever upward flashes the right turn signal
and moving the lever downward will flash
the left turn signal.
The
orturn signal will blink on the
instrument panel.
The turn signals turn off automatically
when the vehicle is brought back onto a
straight course.
“Lane Change” Function
Tap the lever up or down once, without
moving beyond the detent, and the turn
signal (right or left) will flash five times.
Then, the turn signal (right or left) will
automatically turn off.
To turn off the flashing before the end of
the cycle, move the lever in the opposite
direction until the first click (about half
way).
INTERIOR LIGHTS
Front Map Reading Lights
The front map/reading and overhead
lights are mounted in the overhead
console. Each light can be turned on by
pushing the corresponding switch on the
console. These switches are backlit for
night time visibility. To turn the lights off,
push the switch a second time.

HOOD
Opening The Hood
To open the hood, proceed as follows:
1. Pull the release lever located on the
driver’s side kick panel.
2. Move to the outside of the vehicle and
position yourself in front of the grille.
3. Lift the hood slightly.
4. Move the under-hood latch from right
to left to release the hood.5. Raise the hood completely. The
operation is assisted by the addition of
two gas props which hold it in the open
position.
Note:
Use both hands to lift the hood.
Before lifting, check that the windshield
wiper arms are not raised from the
windshield or in operation. Also, ensure
that the vehicle is stationary and that
the electric park brake is engaged.
Do not tamper with the props.
Assist the hood while lifting it.
Closing The Hood
To close, lower the hood to
approximately 16 inches (40 cm) from
the engine compartment then let it drop.
Make sure that the hood is completely
closed and fully latched. Do this by trying
to open it. If it is not perfectly closed, do
not try to push the hood lid 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 travelling.
Since the hood is equipped with a double
locking system, one for each side, you
must check that it is closed on each side.
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.

Homelink
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.
Note: Without starting the engine,
activate the electric park brake and place
the ignition in the ON position.

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.
Note: To program Homelink using an
Alternative Code, the vehicle must be
within range of the garage door. Activate
the electric park brake 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.
