The temperature can be displayed in U.S.
or  Metric  units  by  selecting  the  U.S./
Metric  customer-programmable  feature.
Refer  to  the  “Uconnect  Settings”  in
“Multimedia”  in  the  Owner’s  Manual  for
further information.
To provide you with maximum comfort in the
Automatic  mode  during  cold  start-ups,  the
blower  fan  will  remain  on  low  until  the
engine warms up. The blower will increase in
speed and transition into Auto mode.
Manual Operation Override
This  system  offers  a  full  complement  of
manual override features. The AUTO symbol
in  the  front  ATC  display  will  be  turned  off
when the system is being used in the manual
mode.
Operating Tips 
Summer Operation
The  engine  cooling  system  must  be
protected  with  a  high-quality  antifreeze
coolant  to  provide  proper  corrosion  protec -
tion  and  to  protect  against  engine  over -
heating.  OAT  coolant  (conforming  to
MS.90032) is recommended.
Winter Operation
To  ensure  the  best  possible  heater  and
defroster performance, make sure the engine
cooling  system  is  functioning  properly  and
the  proper  amount,  type,  and  concentration
of coolant is used. Use of the Air Recircula -
tion  mode  during  Winter  months  is  not
recommended, because it may cause window
fogging.
Vacation/Storage  
Before you store your vehicle,  or keep  it  out
of  service  (i.e.,  vacation)  for  two  weeks  or
more, run the air conditioning system at idle
for  about  five  minutes,  in  fresh  air  with  the
blower  setting  on  high.  This  will  ensure
adequate system lubrication to minimize the
possibility  of  compressor  damage  when  the
system is started again.
Window Fogging 
Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside in
mild,  rainy,  and/or  humid  weather.  To  clear
the windows, select Defrost or Mix mode and
increase the front  blower  speed.  Do  not  use
the Recirculation mode without A/C for long
periods, as fogging may occur.
Outside Air Intake
Make  sure the  air  intake, located  directly in
front  of  the  windshield,  is  free  of  obstruc -
tions, such as leaves. Leaves collected in the
air  intake  may  reduce  airflow,  and  if  they
enter the plenum, they could plug the water
drains. In Winter  months, make sure the air
intake is clear of ice, slush, and snow.
 CAUTION!
Failure to  follow  these cautions  can  cause
damage to the heating elements:
Use care when washing the inside of the
rear window. Do not use abrasive window
cleaners  on  the  interior  surface  of  the
window.  Use  a  soft  cloth  and  a  mild
washing  solution,  wiping  parallel  to  the
heating elements. Labels  can be peeled
off after soaking with warm water.
Do not use scrapers, sharp  instruments,
or abrasive window cleaners on the inte-
rior surface of the window.
Keep all objects a safe distance from the
window.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 
SYSTEMS — IF EQUIPPED
Gasoline  Particulate  Filter  (GPF)  —  2.0L  T4
Petrol Versions Only
The Gasoline Particulate Filter is a mechan-
ical  filter,  integral  to  the  exhaust  system,
which  physically  traps  carbon  particles present  in  the  exhaust  gases  of  2.0L  T4
petrol engines.
The  particulate  filter  is  needed  to  eliminate
almost  all  carbon  particle  emissions  in
compliance  with  current/future  regulations
and standards.
Since this filter physically traps particulates,
it  must  be  cleaned  (regenerated)  during
normal  driving  operation  to  remove  carbon
particles.  The  regeneration  procedure  is
controlled  automatically  by  the  engine
control unit according to the filter conditions
and car use conditions.
The following may occur during regeneration:
increased  levels  of  noise  vibration  and
harshness  (NVH)  and  reduced  engine
performance.
Dedicated  messages  can  appear  in  the
instrument  cluster display as a result  of  the
condition  of  the  filter.  Refer  to  the  opening
paragraph  of  the  "Warning  Lights  And
Messages" section for further information.
 WARNING!
Cargo  must  be  securely  tied  down  before
driving  your  vehicle.  Improperly  secured
loads  can  fly  off  the  vehicle,  particularly
at  high  speeds,  resulting  in  personal
injury or property damage. Follow the roof
rack cautions when carrying cargo on your
roof rack.
 CAUTION!
To  avoid  damage  to  the  roof  rack  and
vehicle, do not exceed the maximum roof
rack  load  capacity.  Always  distribute
heavy  loads  as  evenly  as  possible  and
secure the load appropriately.
Long loads, which extend over the wind
-
shield,  should  be  secured  to  both  the
front and rear of the vehicle.
Place  a  blanket  or  other  protection
between the  surface  of  the  roof and  the
load.
Travel  at  reduced  speeds  and  turn
corners  carefully  when  carrying  large  or
heavy  loads  on  the  roof  rack.  Wind
forces,  due  to  natural  causes  or  nearby
truck  traffic,  can  add  sudden  upward
loads.  It  is  recommended  to  not  carry
large flat  loads, such  as  wood  panels  or
surfboards, which may result in damage
to the cargo or your vehicle.
Load  should  always  be  secured  to  cross
bars  first,  with  tie  down  loops  used  as
additional securing points if needed. Tie
loops are intended as supplementary tie
down  points only. Do not use ratcheting
mechanisms  with  the  tie  loops.  Check
the straps frequently to be sure that the
load remains securely attached.

Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) — If Equipped
The  Gear  Shift  Indicator  (GSI)  system  is
enabled  on  vehicles  when  automatic  trans-
mission  is  in  manual  shift  mode.  The  GSI
provides  the  driver  with  a  visual  indication
when the recommended gear shift point has
been  reached.  This  indication  notifies  the
driver that changing gears will allow a reduc -
tion in fuel consumption. When the up shift
indicator is shown on the instrument cluster
display,  the  GSI  is  advising  the  driver  to
engage  a  higher  gear.  When  the  down  shift
indicator is shown on the display, the GSI is
advising the driver to engage a lower gear.
The GSI remains illuminated until the driver
changes  gear,  or  the  driving  conditions
return to a situation where changing gears is
not required to improve fuel consumption.

Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Messages 
This engine meets all required diesel engine
emissions standards. To achieve these emis -
sions  standards,  your  vehicle  is  equipped
with  a  state-of-the-art  engine  and  exhaust
system.  These  systems  are  seamlessly  inte -
grated into your vehicle and managed by the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM
manages  engine  combustion  to  allow  the
exhaust  system’s  catalyst  to  trap  and  burn
Particulate  Matter  (PM)  pollutants,  with  no
input or interaction on your part.
 WARNING!
A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you
park  over  materials  that  can  burn.  Such
materials  might  be  grass  or  leaves  coming
into  contact  with  your  exhaust  system.  Do
not  park  or  operate  your  vehicle  in  areas
where  your  exhaust  system  can  contact
anything that can burn.
 CAUTION!
Always drive  at  a  speed appropriate  to the
traffic  conditions,  the  weather  and  traffic
regulations.  The  engine  may  be  switched
off even if the warning light is on: repeated
interruptions  of  the  regeneration  process
could  cause  an  early  deterioration  of
engine  oil.  For  this  reason  it  is  always
advisable  to  wait  for  the  symbol  to  go  off
before turning off the engine, following the
instructions  above.  Do  not  complete  the
DPF regeneration process when the vehicle
is stopped.

Diesel Emissions Additive AdBlue® Warning Messages:
MESSAGE DESCRIPTION
Low  Diesel  Emissions  Additive
AdBlue® Level WarningThe first low level warning will be given at around a 1,490 miles (2,400 km) range, and is determined
according  to  the  current  consumption  rate.  The  “AdBlue®  Low  Level”  warning  light  and  message  will
display on the instrument panel. The AdBlue® low level warning light will remains lit until the AdBlue®
tank is topped up with at least 1.32 gallons (5 Liters) of AdBlue®.
If the level is not resolved, an additional warning appear whenever a certain threshold is reached until it
will no longer be possible to start the engine.
When 125 miles (200 km) are remaining before the AdBlue® tank is empty, a message will appear on
the instrument panel, accompanied by a buzzer sound. When the range is at zero, the display will show
a dedicated message (if equipped). In this case, the engine will not restart.
It  will  be  possible  to  restart  the  engine  again  as  soon  as  AdBlue®  is  added;  the  minimum  amount
required is 1.32 gallons (5 Liters). Fill the AdBlue® tank as soon as possible with at least 1.32 gallons
(5 Liters) of AdBlue®. If filling is completed with autonomy tank AdBlue® to zero, it could be possible
to wait two minutes before starting the vehicle.
NOTE:
When the AdBlue® tank is empty, and the vehicle is stopped, it is no longer possible to restart the vehicle
until a minimum of 1.32 gallons (5 Liters) of AdBlue® is added to the AdBlue® tank.

WARNING LIGHTS AND 
MESSAGES
The  warning/indicator  lights  will  illuminate
in the instrument panel together with a dedi-
cated  message  and/or  acoustic  signal  when
applicable.  These  indications  are  indicative
and  precautionary  and  as  such  must  not  be
considered  as  exhaustive  and/or  alternative
to  the  information  contained  in  the  Owner’s
Manual, which you are advised to read care -
fully in all cases. Always refer to the informa -
tion  in  this  chapter  in  the  event  of  a failure
indication.  All  active  telltales  will  display
first  if  applicable.  The  system  check  menu
may appear different based upon equipment
options  and  current  vehicle  status.  Some
telltales are optional and may not appear.
Red Warning Lights
 — Air Bag Warning Light 
This warning light will illuminate to indicate
a  fault with  the air  bag, and  will turn  on for
four to  eight  seconds  as  a bulb  check  when
the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/
ON/RUN  position.  This  light  will  illuminate
with a single chime when a fault with the air
bag  has  been  detected,  it  will  stay  on  until the fault is cleared. If the light is either  not
on during startup, stays on, or turns on while
driving,  have  the  system  inspected  at  an
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
 — Brake Warning Light 
This  warning  light  monitors  various  brake
functions,  including  brake  fluid  level  and
parking  brake  application.  If the brake  light
turns  on  it  may  indicate  that  the  parking
brake is applied, that the brake fluid level is
low,  or  that  there  is  a  problem  with  the
anti-lock brake system.
If  the  light  remains  on  when  the  parking
brake  has  been  disengaged,  and  the  fluid
level  is  at  the  full  mark  on  the  master
cylinder  reservoir,  it  indicates  a  possible
brake hydraulic system malfunction or that a
problem  with  the  Brake  Booster  has  been
detected  by  the  Anti-Lock  Brake  System
(ABS)  /  Electronic  Stability  Control  (ESC)
system. In this case, the light will remain on
until the condition has been corrected. If the
problem  is  related  to  the  brake  booster,  the
ABS pump will run when applying the brake,
and  a  brake  pedal  pulsation  may  be  felt
during each stop.
The  dual  brake  system  provides  a  reserve
braking capacity in the event of a failure to a
portion  of  the  hydraulic  system.  A  leak  in
either  half  of  the  dual  brake  system is  indi
-
cated by the Brake Warning Light, which will
turn  on  when  the  brake  fluid  level  in  the
master  cylinder  has  dropped  below  a  speci -
fied level.
The  light  will  remain  on  until  the  cause  is
corrected.
NOTE:
The  light  may  flash  momentarily  during
sharp  cornering  maneuvers,  which  change
fluid  level  conditions.  The  vehicle  should
have service  performed,  and the  brake  fluid
level checked.
If  brake  failure  is  indicated,  immediate
repair is necessary.
 WARNING!
Driving  a  vehicle  with  the  red  brake  light
on  is  dangerous.  Part  of  the  brake  system
may have failed. It will take longer to stop
the  vehicle.  You  could  have  a  collision.
Have the vehicle checked immediately.
