Power Windows The window controls on the driver's
door panel govern all the door
windows.
There are single window controls on
each passenger door trim panel, which
operate the corresponding window.
The window controls will operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ACC
or RUN position. NOTE:
• The power window switches will
remain active for up to 10 minutes
after the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position. Opening either
front door will cancel this feature.
The time lapse can be set. See “MTC+
Settings” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls” for
further information.
• Frequent activations of the power
windows could result in a temporary
lock out of the motors. In this case,
wait a moment before a new
activation.
WARNING!
Improper use of the power windows
and the sunroof (if equipped) can
however be dangerous, even with the
anti-pinch prevention system. Before
and during activation of the power
window, always check that the
passengers are not exposed to the risk
of injury both by the moving window
and by personal objects that could be
dragged or hit by it. Do not leave
unattended children in a vehicle with
a key fob RKE transmitter inside.
When getting out the vehicle, always
remove the key fob RKE transmitter to prevent the windows being
accidentally activated, posing a risk to
passengers remaining onboard.
Auto-Down Feature The driver door power window switch
and some model passenger door
power window switches have an
auto-down feature.
Press the window switch to the second
detent, release, and the window will
go completely down automatically.
To open the window part way, press
the window switch to the first detent
and release it when you want the
window to stop.
To stop the window from going all the
way down during the auto-down
operation, pull up on the switch
briefly.
Auto-Up Feature with
Anti-Pinch Protection Lift the window switch to the second
detent, release, and the window will
go all the way up automatically.

NOTE:
• If the window runs into any obstacle
during auto-closure, it will reverse
direction and then go back down.
Remove the obstacle and use the
window switch again to close the
window.
• Any impact due to rough road
conditions may trigger the auto
reverse function unexpectedly
during auto-closure. If this happens,
pull the switch lightly to the first
detent and hold to close the window
manually.
• Frequent activations of the
anti-pinch function could disable the
auto-down and auto-up function of
the windows. In order to re-activate
this function proceed with a reset
cycle as described in the next
paragraph.
WARNING!
There is no anti-pinch protection
when the window is almost closed. Be
sure to clear all objects from the area
before closing the window. Reset Auto-Up/Down Should the auto-up/down feature stop
working, the window probably needs
to be reset.
To reset auto-up/down, pull the
window switch up to close the
window completely and push the
window switch down to open the
window completely.
Open the Windows with RKE
Transmitter and Ignition Off When the ignition switch is in OFF
position, windows can be opened by
pressing the
button on the RKE
transmitter.
• Press the button and release it;
• Press a second time the
button
and keep it pressed until complete
opening of the windows, if they
were closed.
Rear Window and Sunshade
Lockout Button The window lockout button on the
driver's door trim panel allows to
disable the window and sunshade
control on the rear doors by pressing
the window lockout button (setting it
in the down position). To enable the controls previously
described, press the window lockout
button again (setting it in the up
position).
Wind Buffeting Wind buffeting can be described as
the perception of pressure or a
helicopter-type sound. Your vehicle
may exhibit wind buffeting with the
windows down, or the sunroof in
open or partially open positions. This
is a normal occurrence and can be
minimized. If the buffeting occurs
with the rear windows open, open the
front and rear windows together to
minimize the buffeting. If the
buffeting occurs with the sunroof
open, then adjust the sunroof opening
to minimize the buffeting.Before Starting

• Slightly lift the hood and push the
safety catch as indicated by the
arrow. The safety catch is located in
the center of the hood.
• Lift the hood completely: this
operation is facilitated by two gas
struts keeping the hood in the fully
open position.
With the ignition switch in RUN
position, the red symbol
will
display on the instrument cluster with
the message indicating that the hood
is open.
Closing Lower the hood, and then drop it. This
should secure the inclusion of both
latches.
CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage, do not slam the hood to close it.
WARNING!
• Be sure the hood is fully latched
before driving your vehicle. If the lid
is not fully latched, it could open
when the vehicle is in motion and
block your vision. Failure to follow
this warning could result in serious
injury or death.
• Gear shifting is always active and
may be performed even when one
or more doors, the hood or the trunk
lid are open. Therefore, in these
conditions, take great care to avoid
moving the transmission shift lever
and so accidentally engage gears.Occupants Restraint
Systems The listed occupants restraint systems
are some of the most important safety
features in your vehicle:
• Three-point seat belts (also called lap
and shoulder belts) for the driver and
all passengers.
• Advanced front air bags for driver
and passenger.
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABIC) for the driver and
passengers seated next to a window.
• Supplemental seat-mounted side air
bags.
• An energy-absorbing steering
column and steering wheel.
• Front seat belts incorporate dual
pretensioners that may enhance
occupant protection by managing
the energy created during an impact.
• All seat belt systems (except the
driver’s) include Automatic Locking
Retractors (ALR), which lock the seat
belt webbing into position by
extending the belt all the way out
and then adjusting the belt to the
desired length to restrain a child seat
or secure a large item in a seat.Before Starting
2
58
Please pay close attention to the
information in this section. It tells you
how to use your restraint system
properly, to keep you and your
passengers as safe as possible.
If you are carrying children too small
for adult-sized seat belts, the seat
belts or the Lower Anchors and Tether
for CHildren (LATCH) feature also can
be used to hold infant and child
restraint systems. For more
information on LATCH, refer to
“Lower Anchors and Tether for
CHildren (LATCH)” in this section.
WARNING!
To help provide maximum protection,
you are advised to keep the seatback
in the most upright position possible
and the seat belt close to your chest
and pelvis. If the seat belt is loose, in
the event of an accident you could
move too far forward and could be
injured. Travelling with the seatback
too far reclined could also be
dangerous: even if the seat belts are
fastened, they may not work
correctly. In fact, the belt itself may
not be close enough to your body
and, if it is in front of you, it could
cause neck wounds or other injuries in
an accident. Additionally, in an accident, the lower section of the belt
could press against the upper part of
your stomach rather than the pelvic
area, causing serious internal injuries.
NOTE:
The
advanced air
bags have a multi
stage inflator. This allows the air bag
to have different stages of inflation
based on the severity and type of
collision.
Here are some simple steps you can
take to minimize the risk of harm
from a deploying air bag:
• Children 12 years old and under
should always ride buckled up in a
rear seat.
WARNING!
Infants in rear facing child restraints
should never ride in the front seat of
a vehicle with a passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag. An air bag deployment
can cause severe or fatal injury to
infants in that position.
Do not use child seats or child booster
cushions/backrests in the front
passenger seat. Occupants in the front
passenger seat must never sit on the
edge of the seat, leaning toward the dashboard or otherwise sit out of
position. The occupants’ back must be
as upright as comfort allows, and
must rest against the seatback with
the seat belt properly fastened. Feet
must be on the floor (i.e. not on the
dashboard, seat or out of the
window).
Children that are not big enough to
wear
the vehicle
seat belt properly
(see “Child Restraints System” in this
section) should be secured in the rear
seat in child restraints seats or
belt-positioning booster seats. Older
children who do not use child
restraints seats or belt-positioning
booster seats should ride properly
buckled up in the rear seat. Never
allow children to slide the shoulder
belt behind them or under their arm.
The safest place for a child that has
outgrown the child safety seat is in
the rear seat using the standard seat
belt in combination with a suitable
booster seat if needed so the seat belt
is properly located on the child.
You should read the instructions
provided with your child restraint
system to make sure that you are
using it properly.Before Starting
