complete travels (forward and
backward);
• move the seatback to its normal
upright position.
NOTE:
If you need to disconnect the battery,
wait at least 30 seconds from the last
seat movement. If you disconnect the
battery before, you will have to run
the initialization procedure.
Seatback Facilitated Tilt
This function only active when the
door is open, moves the seat forward
automatically when the seatback is
reclined forward to facilitate access to
the rear seat or exiting the vehicle. The
seat returns to their original position
when the seatback is tilted back again. Rear Seats Rear seats can fit two passengers.

column/wheel, pull the switch toward
you or push the switch away from you
as desired.
The steering wheel position is
memorized, together with the position
of the outside rearview mirrors, when
the driver’s seat position is stored.
Driver's "Easy Entry/Exit"
Function The "Easy Entry/Exit" function helps
the driver when entering/exiting the
vehicle.
This function is activated when the
door is opened only if the key has
been extracted from the ignition
switch or is in STOP (OFF) position.
When the driver exits the vehicle, the
steering wheel moves upward.
On re-entry the driver finds the power
steering wheel raised. After sitting down and closing the door, upon
turning the key to MAR (ON) position,
the power steering wheel moves back
to the normal driving position.
Rearview Mirrors Outside Mirrors Outside mirrors can be adjusted
electrically.
The mirrors can be closed electrically
and will yield in both directions in case
of a collision.
The outside mirrors are electrochromic,
which means, they automatically
operate an anti-glare function by
gradually shading as the light hitting
the mirrors increases.
The outside rearview electrochromic
mirrors work in conjunction with the
inside rearview electrochromic mirror.
NOTE:
The mirrors can be adjusted electrically
only with key in the ignition switch in
MAR (ON) position.
Mirrors Positioning
The power mirror control is located on
the driver's door trim panel.
The power mirror control consist of an
external selector dial and a four-way
mirror control switch.
To adjust a rearview mirror, turn the
external selector dial in the L (left) or R
(right) position to select the mirror
that you want to adjust.Understanding the Vehicle

Page 85 of 286

Move the mirror control switch
corresponding to the direction of the
mirror desired movement (up - down -
right - left).
Bring the external selector dial back to
the center position to avoid changing
the position of the mirror
involuntarily. WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in the
outside convex mirror will look
smaller and farther away than they
really are. Relying too much on your
passenger side convex mirror could
cause you to collide with another
vehicle or object. Use the inside mirror
to judge the size or distance of a
vehicle seen in the outside convex
mirror.
Folding Mirrors
T
urn the external selector dial to the
lower central position "CLOSE", both
mirrors fold inward to facilitate
parking in narrow spaces. If the
selector dial is returned to the upper
central position, the mirrors return to
the open position. WARNING!
The mirrors must always be in the
open position while driving.
CAUTION!
Never retract or open the mirrors
manually: it could damage the power
mechanism.
Outside Rearview Mirror Memory
Position
The
outside rearview mirror position,
both for the normal driving direction
and for reversing, is automatically
memorized together with each seat
position ("Comfort Pack Front Seats"
function). See chapter "Comfort Pack
Front Seats" in this section for further
information.Understanding the Vehicle

Inside Rearview Mirror The position of inside rearview mirror
can be manually adjusted, and is
endowed with an accident-prevention
release system operating in the event
of a collision.
The electrochromic rearview mirror
automatically operates an anti-glare
function by gradually darkening as the
light reflected on its surface increases.
This function is automatically
deactivated when reversing, to ensure
optimal visibility of obstacles.
Inside rearview mirror is equipped at
its base with a button for switching
electrochromic feature on/off and a
LED, on button left-hand side,
indicating feature on/off status.
The LED on button right-hand side is
not active. The table indicates the possible on/off
conditions, according to the position
of the light switch, when R (Reverse)
gear is not engaged.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to the mirror during
cleaning, never spray any cleaning
solution directly onto the mirror. Apply
the solution onto a clean cloth and
wipe the mirror clean. Initial conditions Possible action

Lights The external lights and turn signals
turn on only with the key in the
ignition switch in MAR (ON) position.
Only the parking lights can be turned
on at any time.
The external lights can be turned on
and off manually or automatically,
according to the brightness of the
light outside.
Light Switch The light switch is placed in the
control panel next to the steering
wheel. Light switch has five positions:
0 DRL (*) on (if enabled);
LED position lights, side
marker and license plate
lights on;
Low beam lights, LED position
lights, side marker and license
plate lights on;
Parking lights on;
AUTO Automatic activation and
deactivation of the external
lights, depending on the light
outside.
(*) On vehicles for the Canadian
market DRL are always enabled. Understanding the Vehicle

Daytime Running Lights (DRL) DRL are normally enabled. Under
special conditions, with light switch in
and position, LED headlight
can be turned on to full power (DRL),
low power (position lights) or off.
Status change of these lights is
explained below. Adaptive Bi-Xenon Headlights The gas-discharge (xenon) headlights
operate with an electric arc saturated
with Xenon gas under pressure,
instead of the incandescent filament.
The light produced is assuredly higher
compared to traditional light bulbs, in
terms of quality (brighter light) as well
as of the span and positioning of the
illuminated area.
In addition, the headlights are
equipped with an ALC system
(Adaptive Light Control).
This system combines the light beam
with the steering angle to assure
better visibility of the road surface
when driving in a curve, steering or in
the event of road deviations.
The advantages offered by improved
lighting system are perceived
especially in case of bad weather, fog
and/or insufficient road indications
providing broader illumination of the
side zones, which are normally left in
the dark, and for highway driving (see
comparison rendered below).
This surely increases driving safety as it
offers less eye strain and increased
orientation for the driver and better
detection of other persons on the road
sides (pedestrians, bicycle riders and
motorcycle drivers).Light
