GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce
the risk of injury by restricting head
movement in the event of a rear impact.
Head restraints should be adjusted so
that the top of the head restraint is
located above the top of your ear.
Warning!
A loose head restraint thrown forward in
a collision or hard stop could cause serious
injury or death to occupants of the vehicle.
Always securely stow removed head
restraints in a location outside the occupant
compartment.
ALL the head restraints MUST be
reinstalled in the vehicle to properly protect
the occupants. Follow the re-installation
instructions above prior to operating the
vehicle or occupying a seat.
Do not place items over the top of the
Reactive Head Restraint, such as coats,
seat covers or portable DVD players. These
items may interfere with the operation of
the Reactive Head Restraint in the event of
a collision and could result in serious injury
or death.
Front Head Restraints (Adjustments)
Note: If the vehicle is equipped with
Sparco Racing Seats, the head restraints
are not adjustable or removable.
The front head restraints may be
height-adjustable. To adjust them,
operate as follows:
Upward adjustment: Pull upward on
the head restraint until it clicks into
place.
Downward adjustment: Push the
adjustment button and lower the head
restraint at the same time.
Warning!
All occupants, including the driver, should
not operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat
until the head restraints are placed in their
proper positions in order to minimize the
risk of neck injury in the event of a crash.
Head restraints should never be adjusted
while the vehicle is in motion. Driving a
vehicle with the head restraints improperly
adjusted or removed could cause serious
injury or death in the event of a collision.
Note: To allow for maximum visibility for
the driver, if a seat is not occupied by a
passenger, the head restraint can be
lowered to the fully lowered position.
Rear Head Restraints (Adjustments)

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Warning!
Wearing your seat belt incorrectly could
make your injuries in a collision much worse.
You might suffer internal injuries, or you
could even slide out of the seat belt. Follow
these instructions to wear your seat belt
safely and to keep your passengers safe,
too.
Position the shoulder belt across the
shoulder and chest with minimal, if any slack
so that it is comfortable and not resting on
your neck. The retractor will withdraw any
slack in the shoulder belt.
Misadjustment of the seat belt could
reduce the effectiveness of the safety belt
in a crash.
Seat Belts And Pregnant Women
Seat belts must be worn by all occupants
including pregnant women: the risk of
injury in the event of an accident is reduced for the mother and the unborn
child if they are wearing a seat belt.
Position the lap belt snug and low below
the abdomen and across the strong
bones of the hips. Place the shoulder belt
across the chest and away from the neck.
Never place the shoulder belt behind the
back or under the arm.
Seat Belt Pretensioner
The front seat belt system is equipped
with pretensioning devices that are
designed to remove slack from the seat
belt in the event of a collision. These
devices may improve the performance of
the seat belt by removing slack from the
seat belt early in a collision.
Pretensioners work for all size
occupants, including those in child
restraints.
Note:
These devices are not a substitute
for proper seat belt placement by the
occupant. The seat belt still must be worn
snugly and positioned properly.
The pretensioners are triggered by the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC).
Like the air bags, the pretensioners are
single use items. A deployed
pretensioner or a deployed air bag must
be replaced immediately.
Energy Management Feature
The front seat belt system is equipped
with an Energy Management feature that
may help further reduce the risk of injury
in the event of a collision. The seat belt system has a retractor assembly that is
designed to release webbing in a
controlled manner.
Switchable Automatic Locking
Retractors (ALR)
The seat belts in the passenger seating
positions are equipped with a Switchable
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) which
is used to secure a child restraint system.
For additional information, refer to
“Installing Child Restraints Using The
Vehicle Seat Belt” under the “Child
Restraints” section of this manual. The
figure below illustrates the locking
feature for each seating position.
If the passenger seating position is
equipped with an ALR and is being used
for normal usage, only pull the seat belt
webbing out far enough to comfortably
wrap around the occupant’s mid-section
so as to not activate the ALR. If the ALR
is activated, you will hear a clicking sound
as the seat belt retracts. Allow the

System Activation
The activation of the system is indicated
by the
symbol lighting up on the
display. In this condition, the light on the
button is off.
System Deactivation
A message will appear on the display
when the system is deactivated. In this
condition, the light on the button is on.
Note: Each time the engine is started,
the system is activated regardless of
where was when it was previously
switched off.
Possible Reasons The Engine Does Not
Autostop
For higher comfort and increased safety,
and to reduce emissions, there are
certain conditions where the engine will
not autostop despite the system being
active, such as:
Engine still cold.
Especially cold outside temperature.
Battery not sufficiently charged.
Driver's door not shut.
Driver's seat belt not fastened.
Reverse gear engaged (e.g. for parking
maneuvers).
With the automatic climate control
active, an adequate cabin heating or
cooling comfort has not been reached or
with MAX-DEF function active.
During the first period of use, to
initialize the system.
Steering angle beyond threshold.
Engine Restarting Conditions
Due to comfort, emission control, and
safety reasons, the engine can restart
automatically without any action by the
driver, under special conditions, such as:
Battery not sufficiently charged.
Reduced braking system vacuum (e.g.
if the brake pedal is pressed repeatedly).
Vehicle moving (e.g. when driving on
roads with a grade).
Engine stopping by the Stop/Start
system for more than approx. three
minutes.
With the automatic climate control
active, an adjustment in cabin heating or
cooling is made or with MAX-DEF
function active.
Safety Functions
When the engine is stopped through the
Stop/Start system, if the driver releases
their seat belt, opens the driver's or
passenger's door, or opens the hood from
inside the vehicle, the engine can be
restarted only by using the ignition.
This condition is indicated to the driver
both through a buzzer and a message on
the instrument cluster display.
Energy Saving Function
If the driver does not carry out any action
for more than three minutes after the
automatic engine restart, the Start/Stop
system will switch off the engine in order
to prevent fuel consumption.
In this situation, the engine can only be
restarted using the ignition device.
Note: It is possible to keep the engine
running by deactivating the system.
Irregular Operation
In the event of malfunction, the
Stop/Start system is deactivated.
For failure indications, refer to "Warning
Lights and Messages" paragraph in
"Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel".
Vehicle Inactivity
In the event of vehicle inactivity (or if the
battery is replaced), special attention
must be paid to the disconnection of the
battery power supply.
Proceed as follows:
Remove connector from socket to
disconnect sensor (battery status
monitoring) installed on the negative pole
of the battery. This sensor should never
be disconnected from the pole except if
the battery is replaced.
