Operating Instructions
Each time an instruction is given that concerns direction (left/right or forward/backward), it is written to be read from the perspective of an occu-
pant in the driver's seat. If a direction is written from a different perspective, it will be specified as such in the text as appropriate.
The figures in the manual are only examples: this might imply that some details of the image do not correspond to the actual arrangement of your
vehicle.
To identify the chapter with the information necessary, you can consult the Index at the end of this manual.
Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, located at the side of each odd page. There is also a key for getting to know the
chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. Additionally, there is a textual indication of each current chapter at the side of each even page.

While reading this Owner’s Manual you will find a series of WARNINGS that must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components
of the vehicle, which could cause accidents or injuries.
There are also CAUTIONS to prevent procedures that could damage your vehicle.
Therefore all WARNINGS and CAUTIONS must always be carefully followed.

Steering Wheel AdjustmentTo unlock the steering column, push the tilt/
telescoping control handle down to the open
position. To tilt the steering column, move the
steering wheel upward or downward as
desired. To lengthen or shorten the steering
column, pull the steering wheel outward or
push it inward as desired. To lock the steering
column in position, push the tilt/telescoping
control handle to the closed position.
Heated Steering Wheel — If Equipped
The steering wheel contains a heating element
that helps warm your hands in cold weather.
The heated steering wheel has only one
temperature setting. The heated steering
wheel may not turn on when it is already warm.

NOTE:

Quadrifoglio vehicles equipped with Sparco
Racing Seats will not be equipped with the
heated steering wheel feature.
The heated steering wheel button is located
on the instrument panel.
Push the heated steering wheel button
once to turn the heating element on.
Push the heated steering wheel button a
second time to turn the heating element off.

A — Open
B — Closed
WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column while
driving. Adjusting the steering column
while driving or driving with the steering
column unlocked, could cause the driver
to lose control of the vehicle. Failure to
follow this warning may result in serious
injury or death.
Do not place any objects on the steering
wheel (e.g. permanently fixed covers of
any type or material) which could interfere
with the capacitive hand detection sensor
on the steering wheel of the Active Blind
Spot Assist (ABSA), Lane Keeping Assist
(LKA), Traffic Jam Assist (TJA) or Highway
Assist (HAS) systems (if equipped).
WARNING!

It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
after-market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifications (e.g.
installation of anti-theft device) that could
adversely affect performance. Doing so could
void the New Vehicle Limited Warrant, cause
SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEMS INCLUDING
INJURY, and also result in the vehicle not
meeting type-approval requirements.

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

corrected. If the problem is related to the

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

(Continued)
corrected. If the problem is related to the
brake booster, the ABS pump will run when
applying the brake, and a brake pedal pulsa-
tion 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 indicated by
the Brake Warning Light, which will turn on
when the brake fluid level in the master
cylinder has dropped below a specified 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. Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake
System (ABS) are also equipped with Elec
-
tronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD). In the
event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning
Light will turn on along with the ABS Light.
Immediate repair to the ABS system is
required.
Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be
checked by turning the ignition switch from the
OFF position to the ON/RUN position. The light
should illuminate for approximately two
seconds. The light should then turn off unless
the parking brake is applied or a brake fault is
detected. If the light does not illuminate, have
the light inspected by an authorized dealer. The light also will turn on when the parking
brake is applied with the ignition switch in the
ON/RUN position.

NOTE:

This light shows only that the parking brake is
applied. It does not show the degree of brake
application.
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
Failure
The simultaneous turning on of the
BRAKE (red) and (amber) warning
lights with the engine on indicates
either a failure of the EBD system or
that the system is not available. In this case,
the rear wheels may suddenly lock and the
vehicle may swerve when braking abruptly.
Drive very carefully to the nearest authorized
dealer to have the system inspected immedi -
ately.
Oil Temperature Warning Light
This telltale indicates engine oil
temperature is high.
Stop the vehicle and shut off the
engine as soon as possible. If the problem
persists, contact an authorized dealer.
WARNING!
The fault of the warning light is signaled by
the turning on of the icon on the instru -
ment panel. In this case, the warning light
may not indicate any faults with the
restraint systems. Before proceeding,
contact an authorized dealer to have the
system checked immediately.
If the warning light does not turn on when
the ignition device is moved to ON or if it
stays on when driving (together with the
message on the display), there might be a
fault in the restraint systems; in this case,
the air bags or pretensioners may not
deploy in the event of an accident or, in a
lower number of cases, they could deploy
erroneously. Before proceeding, contact
an authorized dealer to have the system
checked immediately.
