Turn Signals
Move the multifunction lever all the
way up or down until the stop
triggers.
The left or right arrow on the
speedometer and tachometer
instrument cluster respectively, flashes
to show proper operation of the front
and rear turn signal lights. To activate lane change function, tap
the lever up or down once, without
moving beyond the detent. The turn
signals (right or left) will flash three
times then automatically turn off.
This function is useful when
overtaking or changing lanes.
NOTE:
• If either light remains on and does
not flash, or flashes at a fast rate,
check for a defective outside light. If
an indicator on the instrument
cluster fails while moving the lever,
then the turn indicator could be
defective.
• The message that a turn signal is on
will appear in the instrument cluster
and a continuous chime will sound if
the vehicle is driven more than 1 mile
(1.6 km) with either turn signal on. High Beams and Flashing

and suggestions, by voice guidance
and graphic information, for the best
route to reach the set destination. The
suggestions provided by the
navigation system do not relieve the

maneuvers made through traffic while
driving, or from compliance with road
regulations and other provisions
regarding road traffic. The person
driving the vehicle is always and in
any case responsible for safe driving
on the road.Dashboard Instruments and Controls

When the car stops in M +/- (Manual)
mode, the transmission automatically
moves the shift lever and inserts P
(Park).
If you enter the I.C.E. drive mode
when the gearshift is in “M +/-”
position, the system activates the
automatic return of the shift lever in D
(Drive) mode.
Shift Paddles
The driver can change gears with the
shift paddles behind the steering
wheel when in D (Drive) and M +/-
(Manual) mode.
Using the shift paddles, the
corresponding icon will display on the
instrument cluster beside the “M”
indication and current shifted gear. Pull the right shift paddle “+” towards
the steering wheel and release it to
enter the higher gear; do the same
operation with the left shift paddle
“–“ to enter the lower gear.

Gear Shift Indicator Light
In order to improve fuel economy, we
recommend that you shift gears when
the system prompts you to do so. This
will help reduce fuel consumption
without significantly affecting vehicle
performance.
The indicator beside the displayed
gear will light up just before reaching
the required speed to change downshift or upshift (example in the
figures).
When the new gear is engaged, the
indicator turns off. If the shift runs
late or is not performed at all, the
indicator remains lit for a few seconds
then turns off. As soon as new
conditions requiring further gear
change occur, the indicator light will
illuminate again.Driving
