NOTE:
When the hazard warning lights are
activated, the direction indicator
controls are disabled.
Integrated External Rearview
Mirror Lights External mirrors are supplied with LED
turn signals integrated on the support.
The LED turn signal indicators flash
simultaneously with the corresponding
turn signal lights in the front and rear
of the vehicle. Turning on the hazard
warning flashers will also activate
these LEDs. The external mirrors are equipped also
with approach and courtesy LEDs,
lighting up when the vehicle entry/exit
lights are activated.
Windshield Wipers and
Washers The multifunction lever operates the
wipers and washers acting on the
windshield when the ignition switch is
placed in RUN or ACC position. The
multifunction lever is located on the
left side of the steering column.
A low fluid level of windshield washers
is indicated by the indicator light
and by the message on the
instrument cluster.
To refill the fluid, see “Maintenance
Procedures” in section “Maintenance
and Care”.
Windshield Wipers • Rotate the end of the multifunction
lever to one of the four settings to

arms. It will not operate under the
following conditions:
• Low Temperature Wipe Inhibit : the
rain sensing feature will not operate
when the ignition is in RUN position,
the vehicle is stationary and the
outside temperature is below 32°F
(0°C). To resume, set the automatic
feature on the multifunction lever,
start the engine and drive or wait
until the outside temperature rises
above freezing.
• Wipe Inhibit with Transmission in
Neutral Position : the rain sensing
feature will not operate when the
ignition is placed in the RUN
position, the transmission shift lever
is in the N (Neutral) position and the
vehicle speed is less than 5 mph
(8 km/h). To resume, set the
multifunction lever to the automatic
function or move the shift lever out
of N (Neutral).
Headlights On with Windshield
Wipers When activating this function, the
headlights will light up approximately
10 seconds after the wipers acting on
the windshield are turned on if the
light switch is placed in “AUTO”
position. In addition, the headlights switch off when the wipers are turned
off (position “OFF”) if they were
previously turned by using this
function. Powering on Headlights with
wipers can be activated and
deactivated with the MTC+ System, see
“MTC+ Settings” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and Controls”
for further information.
Wiper Blade Maintenance When the wiper arms acting on the
windshield are in the rest position it is
not possible to check or replace the
blades (Service position) as they are
folded under the hood. To service the
blades (see paragraph “Wiper
Maintenance and Blades
Replacement” in chapter
“Maintenance Procedures” of section
“Maintenance and Care”) it is
necessary to shift the multifunction
lever to “OFF” and the ignition switch
to OFF position.
Shift the control lever within 15
seconds to the “MIST” position
(forward rotation of the end of the
multifunction control lever) and
release. The blades are brought in a
position enabling to open the wiper
arms and change the blades. It is possible to use the “MIST” position
for a maximum of 3 times within two
minutes, corresponding to different
three blades positions on the
windshield. When completed, bring
the ignition switch in RUN : the arms
will reposition. If necessary move the
multifunction lever to other required
operating positions.
WARNING!
Operate or service the windshield
wiper blades without deactivating the
wipers (“OFF” position), leaving the
ignition switch in RUN can be
dangerous for the operator since the
rain sensor may suddenly activate the
wipers. Always use “Service” position
for any intervention on the windshield
wiper blades.Understanding the Vehicle

Interior Features Electric Power Outlets The vehicle is equipped with four 12
Volt (13 Amp) electric power outlets,
two available for the front seat
passengers, one for rear seat
passengers and one fitted in the trunk
compartment.
In vehicles equipped with “Smoking
Kit” the electric power outlet inside
the cupholder is replaced with a
cigarette lighter.
All power outlets are supplied only
when the engine is started or the
ignition device set to ACC or RUN .
Power outlets are protected by a fuse.
Insert a cigar lighter or accessory plug
into the power outlets to ensure
proper operation. Otherwise, check
the matching fuse integrity, see “Fuse
Replacement” in section “Maintenance
and Care” for further information.
CAUTION!
• Do not plug in accessories that
exceed the maximum power of 160
Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts.
• Power outlets are designed for
accessory plugs only. Do not insert
any other object in the power outlets as this will damage the outlet and
blow the fuse. Damages caused by
improper use of the power outlet are
not covered by the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Only devices designed for use in this
type of outlet should be inserted
into any 12 Volt outlet.
• Replacing the fuses that protect
power outlets with others of higher
amperage, there is the risk of fire.
• Do not touch with wet hands.
• Close the lids when the plug is not
used and while driving the vehicle.
• If this outlet is mishandled, it may
cause an electric shock and failure.
Power Outlet inside the Cupholder
To access the power outlet is inside the
cupholder beside the transmission
lever, press the cover as indicated to
open it completely. Remove the
cigarette lighter (if equipped) and use
its socket as power outlet. WARNING!
High power consumption items
plugged into this outlet for long
periods may discharge the battery
which could prevent the engine from
starting.Understanding the Vehicle

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 www.HomeLink.com for
safety information or assistance.
• 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.
