WARNING LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES ON THE
INSTRUMENT PANEL
The following pages consist of warning lights
and messages.
NOTE:
The warning light turns on together with a
dedicated message and/or chime when
applicable. These indications are precau -
tionary 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 section in the event of a failure
indication.
The failure indicators appearing on the
display are divided into two categories: very
serious and less serious faults. Serious
faults are indicated by a repeated and
prolonged warning "cycle.” Less serious
faults are indicated by a warning "cycle" with
a shorter duration. You can stop the
warning cycle in both cases by pushing the
button located on the windshield wiper
stalk. The instrument panel warning light
will stay on until the cause of the failure is
eliminated.
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 posi -
tion. 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 applica -
tion. 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
reservoir.
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

Engine Oil Change Required — If Equipped
The telltale is illuminated only for a
limited time.
NOTE:
After the first indication, each time the engine
is started the symbol will continue to illumi -
nate as described above until the oil is
changed.
If the telltale flashes, this does not mean that
there is a fault on the vehicle, rather it simply
reports that it is now necessary to change the
oil as a result of regular use of the vehicle. The
deterioration of engine oil is accelerated by
using the vehicle for short drives, preventing
the engine from reaching operating tempera -
ture.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Engine Oil Pressure Sensor Failure
The telltale will illuminate in the
event of engine oil pressure sensor
failure.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Engine Oil Level Sensor Failure
The telltale will illuminate in the
event of engine oil level sensor
failure.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) System
Failure — If Equipped
The telltale will illuminate in the case
of failure of the Forward Collision
Warning system.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Stop/Start System Failure
This telltale will illuminate to report a
Stop/Start system failure.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible to have the failure eliminated.
Rain Sensor Failure
The telltale will illuminate in the case
of failure of the automatic wind -
shield wiper.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Dusk Sensor Failure
The telltale will illuminate in the case
of failure of the automatic low beam
alignment.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Blind Spot Monitoring System Failure — If
Equipped
The telltale will illuminate in the
event of a Blind Spot Monitoring
system failure.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Fuel Level Sensor Failure
The telltale will illuminate in the
event of fuel level sensor failure.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
CAUTION!
Deteriorated engine oil should be replaced
as soon as possible after the symbol is
switched on, and never more than
500 miles (805 km) after it first switches
on. Failure to observe the above may result
in severe damage to the engine and
invalidate the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty. When this symbol comes on, it
does not mean that the level of engine oil is
low, so if it flashes you do not need to top
up the engine oil.

will automatically turn on in cold weather.
These features will stay on through the dura -
tion of remote start also until the ignition is
placed in the ON/RUN mode. Remote Start Windshield Wiper De–Icer Acti
-
vation — If Equipped
When remote start is active and the outside
ambient temperature is less than 39°F (4°C),
the Windshield Wiper De-Icer will be enabled.
Exiting remote start will resume previous oper -
ation, except if the Windshield Wiper De-Icer is
active.
The Windshield Wiper De-Icer timer and oper -
ation will continue.
Cold Weather Operation
To prevent possible engine damage while
starting at low temperatures, this vehicle will
inhibit engine cranking when the ambient
temperature is less than –22°F (–30°C) and
the oil temperature sensor reading indicates
an engine block heater has not been used. An
externally-powered electric engine block
heater is available as optional equipment or
from an authorized dealer.
The message “plug in engine heater” will be
displayed in the instrument cluster when the
ambient temperature is below 5°F (–15°C) at
the time the engine is shut off as a reminder to
avoid possible crank delays at the next cold
start.
Extended Park Starting
If the vehicle has not been started or driven for
at least 30 days, it is advisable to follow the
indications below.
To start the engine, proceed as follows:
1. Briefly push the ignition button
2. If the engine does not start, wait five seconds and let the starter cool down and
then repeat the starting procedure
3. If the engine does not start after eight attempts, let the starter cool down for at
least 10 seconds, and then repeat the
starting procedure
If the problem persists, contact an authorized
dealer.
NOTE:
After prolonged vehicle inactivity, very difficult
starting, that can be noticed through rapid
fatigue of the starter, might also be due to a
discharged battery. In this case you may jump
start the vehicle
Ú
page 199.
CAUTION!
Use of the recommended oil and adhering
to the prescribed oil change intervals is
important to prevent engine damage and
ensure satisfactory starting in cold
conditions.

Metric Speed (km/h)
Pushing the SET switch once will result in a
1 km/h speed adjustment. Each subse -
quent movement of the switch results in an
adjustment of 1 km/h.
If the switch is continually pushed, the set
speed will continue to adjust until the switch
is released, then the new set speed will be
established.
NOTE:
Moving the SET switch allows for adjusting of
the speed according to the selected unit of
measurement set on the radio system. Refer
to the Information and Entertainment System
Owner’s Manual for more information.
To Accelerate For Passing
Press the accelerator as you would normally.
When the pedal is released, the vehicle will
return to the set speed.
Using Cruise Control On Hills
The transmission may downshift on hills to
maintain the vehicle set speed.
NOTE:
The Cruise Control system maintains speed up
and down hills. A slight speed change on
moderate hills is normal.
On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain
may occur so it may be preferable to drive
without Cruise Control.
To Resume Speed
To resume a previously set speed, push the
RES button and release. Resume can be used
at any speed above 20 mph (32 km/h).
NOTE:
Before resuming the previously set speed, you
must accelerate to a speed close to that
speed.
Resume Button Location
In AutoStick (sequential) mode, before
resuming the previously set speed, you should
accelerate until you are close to that speed.
Then, push and release the RES button.
To Deactivate
A tap on the brake pedal deactivates the
Cruise Control without deleting the set speed.
The Cruise Control may also be deactivated by
applying the Electric Park Brake or when the
braking system is operated (e.g. operation of
the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system).
The set speed is deleted in the following
cases:
Pushing the on/off button a second time
The ignition is placed in the OFF position
If there is a malfunction with the Cruise
Control
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) — If Equipped
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a driver
assist system that combines the Cruise
Control functions with controlling the distance
from the vehicle ahead. ACC increases the
driving convenience provided by Cruise
Control while traveling on highways and major
roadways. However, it is not a safety system
and not designed to prevent collisions. The
Cruise Control function performs differently
Ú
page 105.
ACC will allow you to keep Cruise Control
engaged in light to moderate traffic conditions
without the constant need to reset your Cruise
Control. ACC uses a radar sensor located
behind the front bumper and a camera located
in the center/upper part of the windshield, to
detect the presence of a vehicle close ahead.
WARNING!
Cruise Control can be dangerous where the
system cannot maintain a constant speed.
Your vehicle could go too fast for the
conditions, and you could lose control and
have an accident. Do not use Cruise Control
in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding,
icy, snow-covered or slippery.

STARTING AND OPERATING
112
To Decrease The Distance
Push and release the distance button to
decrease the distance setting. The distance
setting decreases by one bar (shorter) every
time the button is pushed.Distance Button
The set speed is held if there are no vehicles
ahead. Once the shortest distance has been
selected, the next push of the button will set
the maximum distance.
If a slower vehicle is detected in the same
lane, the vehicle icon on the display illumi -
nates from grey to white. The system automat -
ically adjusts the vehicle’s speed to keep the
set distance, independently of the set speed.
The vehicle holds the set distance until:
The vehicle ahead accelerates to a speed
higher than the set speed.
The vehicle ahead leaves the lane or the
detection field of the Adaptive Cruise
Control system sensor.
The distance setting is changed.
The Adaptive Cruise Control system is deac -
tivated/paused.
Overtake Aid
When driving with ACC engaged and following
a vehicle at a speed greater than 45 mph
(70 km/h), the system will provide an addi -
tional acceleration up to the ACC set speed to
assist in passing the vehicle. This additional acceleration is triggered when the driver
utilizes the left turn signal and will only be
active when passing on the left hand side.
The system detects the direction of traffic auto
-
matically when the vehicle passes from left hand
traffic to right hand traffic. In this case, the over -
taking assist function is only active when the
reference vehicle is overtaken on the right. The
additional acceleration is deactivated when the
driver uses the right direction indicator and
returns to the original lane.
“Stop And Go” Function
The “Stop and Go” operating strategy allows you
to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle
ahead until the vehicle has completely stopped.
In the event that the ACC system brings your
vehicle to a standstill while following the
vehicle in front, if the vehicle in front starts
moving within two seconds of your vehicle
coming to a standstill, your vehicle will resume
motion without the need for any driver action.
If the vehicle in front does not start moving
within two seconds of your vehicle coming to a
standstill, the driver will have to push the RES/
SET switch upward to restart.
WARNING!
The maximum breaking applied by the
system is limited. The driver may apply the
brakes in all cases if needed.
If the system predicts that the braking level
is insufficient to hold the set distance, either
“BRAKE!” or a dedicated message is
displayed to warn the driver of approaching
the vehicle ahead. An acoustic signal is also
emitted. In this case, it is advised to brake
immediately as necessary to hold a safe
distance from the vehicle ahead.
The driver is responsible for ensuring that
there are no pedestrians, other vehicles or
objects along the direction of the vehicle.
Failure to comply with these precautions
may cause serious accidents and injuries.
The driver is fully responsible for holding a
safe distance from the vehicle ahead
respecting the highway code in force in
the respective country.
WARNING!
When the ACC system is resumed, the driver
must ensure that there are no pedestrians,
vehicles or objects in the path of the vehicle.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in a
collision and death or serious personal injury.

If several obstacles are detected simultane-
ously in the front and rear area, the display will
show all of them, regardless of the area in
which they were detected.
It is not possible to exit from the display screen
while the vehicle is in REVERSE.
Acoustic Signal
In the presence of an obstacle at the front or
the rear of the vehicle, an acoustic signal with
variable frequency will sound:
The acoustic signal increases in frequency
as the distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle decreases.
The acoustic signal becomes continuous
when the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle is less than 11 inches (30 cm),
and stops if the distance increases.
The acoustic signal is constant if the
distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle is unchanged.
NOTE:
If the sensors detect several front and rear
obstacles, the closest obstacle is considered.
An intermittent signal will sound if the obsta -
cles are at the same distance (front and rear).
When the system emits an acoustic signal, the
volume of the radio system, if activated, is
automatically lowered.
An acoustic signal will not sound if the vehicle
is in PARK.
