• Within 15 seconds, touch the heated
steering wheel soft-key a second
time to turn it off.
WARNING!
• Persons with low skin sensitivity
because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion
or other physical conditions must be
careful when using the seat heater. It
may cause irritation even at low
temperatures, especially if used for
long periods of time.
• Do not place anything on the
steering wheel that insulates against
heat, such as a blanket or steering
wheel covers of any type and
material. This may cause the steering
wheel heater to overheat. Adjustable Pedals (if
equipped) The adjustable pedals system is
designed to allow greater range of
pedals positions enabling driver
comfort with regard to the steering
wheel tilt and the seat position.
This feature allows the brake and
accelerator pedals to move toward or
away from the driver’s feet.
The switch is located on the front side
of the driver's seat cushion shield.
Press the switch downward to move
the pedals forward (toward the front
of the vehicle).
Lift the switch upward to move the
pedals rearward (toward the driver).
WARNING!
Do not adjust the pedals position while the vehicle is moving. You could
lose control and have an accident.
Always adjust the pedals position
while the vehicle is parked.
The following messages will be
displayed
if the
driver is attempting to
adjust the pedals when the system is
locked out:
• “Adjustable Pedals Unavailable
While Reversing”;
• or “Adjustable Pedals Unavailable
While Cruise Engaged”.
NOTE:
Use your key fob (RKE) transmitter or
the memory buttons on the driver's
door trim panel to return the
adjustable pedals to programmed
positions. See “Driver Memory Seat” in
section “Understanding the Vehicle”
for further information.
CAUTION!
Do not place any object under the
adjustable pedals or obstruct their
movements as it may cause damage to
the pedal controls. Pedal movement
may become limited if there is an
obstruction in the adjustable pedal's
path.Understanding the Vehicle

Electronic Cruise Control The electronic Cruise Control (CC)
enables the driver to maintain the
desired vehicle speed without pressing
the accelerator pedal, reducing driving
fatigue on highways, especially long
trips, as the set speed is automatically
maintained. A firm press on the
accelerator pedal or the braking pedal
will temporarily deactivate the cruise
control function.
CAUTION!
The device can only be switched on at
speeds exceeding 18 mph (30 km/h)
and it switches off automatically when
the brake pedal or the accelerator
pedal is pressed.
WARNING!
The Cruise Control function must only
be activated when traffic and the
route permit a constant speed to be
maintained safely for a sufficiently
long distance. Controls The electronic Cruise Control controls
are located on the left side of the
steering wheel.
Control configuration depends on
which driver assist systems are installed
to the vehicle.
In the standard configuration there is
a specific button to enable and disable
the CC.
In the optional configuration, there is
no specific button to enable and
disable the CC, since the driver uses
the ACC control buttons. Control buttons have the following
functions:
Standard Configuration
ON/OFF button to
engage/disengage CC
system.
Optional Configuration
Press ACC Gap button and
hold it down for 2 seconds
to enable the CC system.
Press ACC button to disable
the CC system.Standard Configuration Optional ConfigurationDriving

WARNING!
Never leave the electronic Cruise
Control system on when not in use.
You could accidentally set the system
or cause it to go faster than you want.
Always leave the system off when you
are not using it.
Speed Range of Use Speed mph (km/h)
Minimum 18 (30)
Engaged/activated 18 (30)
Maximum 130 (210)
Setting Desired Speed Turn on the CC function. When the
vehicle has reached the desired speed
(in the example: 60 mph), push
downward the multifunction switch
(SET -) and release.
The
green light below the desired
speed will illuminate on the
instrument cluster display. Release the accelerator and the vehicle
will operate at the selected speed.
NOTE:
The vehicle should be traveling at a
steady speed and on level ground
before pushing the switch downward.
Pressing the
“ON/OFF” button or
the ACC Gap button for 2 seconds (in
the Optional Configuration) or moving
the ignition switch in OFF position
erases the set speed memory.
Changing Speed Setting Pushing the multifunction switch
upward (RES +) or downward (SET -)
once, or by holding it down, will
enable to increase or decrease the set
speed by one unit (1 mph or 1 km/h). If
the car is equipped with ADAS
Systems, the single press of the
multifunction switch will increase or decrease the set speed of 1 mph or
1 km/h; a continuous pressure of the
same will increase or decrease the set
speed of 5 mph or 10 km/h.
Release the switch when the desired
speed is reached, and the new set
speed will be visualized below the
green light.
Each subsequent tap of the
multifunction switch will increase or
decrease the speed by 1 mph or
1 km/h.
Temporary Deactivation A soft tap on the brake pedal, pressing
the multifunction switch (CANC), or
normal brake pressure while slowing
the vehicle will temporarily deactivate
the CC without erasing the set speed
memory. The
white light with
below the set speed will appear on the
display.Driving
