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

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.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Hands Free Liftgate — If Equipped
To operate the Hands Free Liftgate
System:
1. If the doors are locked, the system
must detect the electronic key near the
liftgate.
2. If the doors are unlocked, the system
does not have to detect the electronic
key near the liftgate.
3. Go to the rear of the vehicle, in the
center and about 3 feet (1 m) from the
liftgate.
4. Move your foot under the bumper,
simulating a kick. When you have
completed this movement, withdraw your
leg. To activate the liftgate, both sensors
must detect your leg.If it is closed, the Hands Free Liftgate
unlocks and opens completely, and with
another movement of the foot, it stops. A
further movement of the foot reverses
the direction and closes the liftgate
completely, if you do not stop it again.
If it is open, with a movement of the foot,
the Hands Free Liftgate closes
completely, and with another movement
of the foot, it stops. If the liftgate is
stopped, another movement of the foot
will reverse the direction and open it
completely.
Note:
To conserve the battery charge,
avoid performing this operation
repeatedly with the engine off.
You can activate/deactivate the Hands
Free Liftgate on the Information and
Entertainment System by pushing the
MENU button to select the Main menu,
and selecting the following items:
1. Settings
2. Doors And Locks
3. Automatic Liftgate Opening Select
them by turning the Rotary Pad and
pushing it.Warning!
Driving with the liftgate open can allow
poisonous exhaust gases into your vehicle.
You and your passengers could be injured by
these fumes. Keep the liftgate closed when
you are operating the vehicle.
If you are required to drive with the
liftgate open, make sure that all windows
are closed, and the climate control blower
switch is set at high speed. Do not use the
recirculation mode.
Warning!
During power operation, personal injury or
cargo damage may occur. Ensure the
liftgate travel path is clear. Make sure the
liftgate is closed and latched before driving
away.
Liftgate Initialization
Note: Automatic operation of the
liftgate must be initialized again in case
of faulty liftgate operation. Proceed as
follows:
1. Close all the doors and the liftgate.
2. Push the lock button on the key fob.
3. Push the unlock button on the key fob.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
When the engine is started, the warning
light illuminates briefly to signal the
driver that the system is active.
Sensors
The sensors are activated when any
forward gear is engaged at a speed
higher than approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h) or when REVERSE is engaged.
The sensors are temporarily deactivated
when the vehicle is stationary or the
vehicle is in PARK (P).
The detection area of the system covers
approximately a lane on both sides of the
vehicle which is around 9 feet (3 m).
This area begins from the door mirror and
extends for approximately 19 feet (6 m)
toward the rear part of the vehicle.
When the sensors are active, the system
monitors the detection areas on both
sides of the vehicle and warns the driver
about the possible presence of vehicles
in these areas.While driving, the system monitors the
detection area from three different input
points (side, rear and front) to check
whether an alert needs to be sent to the
driver. The system can detect the
presence of a vehicle in one of these
three areas.
Note:
The system does not alert the driver
of the presence of fixed objects (e.g.
safety barriers, poles, walls, etc.).
However, in some circumstances, the
system may activate in the presence of
these objects. This is normal and does
not indicate a system malfunction.
The system does not alert the driver
about the presence of vehicles coming
from the opposite direction, in the
adjacent lanes.
Warning!
The Blind Spot Monitoring system is only an
aid to help detect objects in the blind spot
zones. The BSM system is not designed to
detect pedestrians, bicyclists, or animals.
Even if your vehicle is equipped with the
BSM system, always check your vehicle’s
mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and use
your turn signal before changing lanes.
Failure to do so can result in serious injury or
death.
Note:
For the system to operate properly,
the rear bumper area where the radar
sensors are located must stay free from
snow, ice and dirt gathered from the
road surface.
Do not cover the rear bumper area
where the radar sensors are located with
any object (e.g. adhesives, bike rack,
etc.).
If you wish to install a rear tow eye
after purchasing the vehicle, you will
need to deactivate the system via the
Information and Entertainment System.
To access the function, select the
following items in sequence on the main
menu:
1. “Settings.”
2. “Safety.”
3. “Blind Spot Alert.”
Rear View
The system detects vehicles coming from
the rear part of your vehicle on both sides
and entering the rear detection area with
a difference in speed of less than 31 mph
(50 km/h) in relation to your vehicle.0434132127USBSM Indicator Light
