Proceed in reverse order to reassemble the
key fob.
Programming And Requesting Additional
Key Fobs
Programming the key fob may be performed by
an authorized dealer.

NOTE:

Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle,
it cannot be re-purposed and repro-
grammed to another vehicle.
Only key fobs that are programmed to the
vehicle electronics can be used to start and
operate the vehicle. Once a key fob is
programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be
programmed to any other vehicle. Duplication of key fobs may be performed at
an authorized dealer. This procedure consists
of programming a blank key fob to the vehicle
electronics. A blank key fob is one that has
never been programmed
Ú

page 273.

NOTE:

When having the Engine Immobilizer
system serviced, bring all vehicle keys with
you to an authorized dealer.
For Quadrifoglio models, if you need a
replacement key fob, contact an authorized
dealer.
ENGINE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
The Engine Immobilizer system prevents unau-
thorized vehicle operation by disabling the
engine. The system does not need to be armed
or activated. Operation is automatic, regard -
less of whether the vehicle is locked or
unlocked.
The system uses a key fob, keyless push
button ignition and a Radio Frequency (RF)
receiver to prevent unauthorized vehicle oper -
ation. Therefore, only key fobs that are
programmed to the vehicle can be used to
start and operate the vehicle. The system will
shut the engine off in two seconds if an invalid
key fob is used to start the engine. After placing the ignition switch in the ON/RUN
position, the vehicle security light will turn on
for three seconds for a bulb check. If the light
remains on after the bulb check, it indicates
that there is a problem with the electronics. In
addition, if the light begins to flash after the
bulb check, it indicates that someone used an
invalid key fob to start the engine. Either of
these conditions will result in the engine being
shut off after two seconds.
If the vehicle security light turns on during
normal vehicle operation (vehicle running for
longer than 10 seconds), it indicates that
there is a fault in the electronics. Should this
occur, have the vehicle serviced as soon as
possible by an authorized dealer.
All of the key fobs provided with your new
vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle
electronics.

NOTE:

A key fob that has not been programmed is
also considered an invalid key
Ú

page 273.
CAUTION!
The battery replacement operation must be
done with care, in order not to damage the
electronic key.
WARNING!
Always remove the key fobs from the
vehicle and lock all doors when leaving
the vehicle unattended.
Always remember to place the ignition in
the OFF mode.
CAUTION!
The Engine Immobilizer system is not
compatible with some aftermarket remote
starting systems. Use of these systems may
result in vehicle starting problems and loss
of security protection.

Adaptive Frontlight System (AFS Function) —
If Equipped

This is a system combined with Xenon head-
lights (Bi-Xenon 35 W headlamp if equipped)
which directs the headlights horizontally, and
continuously and automatically adapts them
to the driving conditions around bends or
when cornering.
The system directs the headlights to light up
the road in the best way, taking into account
the speed of the vehicle and the bend or
corner angle, as well as the speed at which the
steering wheel is turned.
The adaptive lights are automatically activated
when the vehicle is started.
Turn Signals

moving beyond the detent, and the turn signal
will flash five times then automatically turn off.
To turn off the flashing before the end of the
cycle, move the lever in the opposite direction
until the first click (about half way).
Static Bending Light Function (SBL) — If
Equipped
The SBL function utilizes Light Emitting Diodes
(LEDs) in order to better illuminate the street
and increase the light angle while turning. This
function is enabled by rotating the light switch
to position (on) or (auto). The SBL LEDs
activate when the speed is below 25 mph
(40 km/h) and the steering radius is below
0.3 miles (500 m).
This function can be activated/deactivated on
the radio system by selecting the following
functions in sequence on the main menu:
1. “Settings.”
2. “Lights.”
3. “Cornering Lights.”
INTERIOR LIGHTS
Courtesy lights are turned on when the front
doors are opened or when the dimmer control
is rotated to its farthest upward position. The
glove compartment light turns on automati -
cally when the glove compartment is opened
and turn off when it is closed. The door cour -
tesy lights illuminate when one of the front
doors is opened, and turn off when it is closed.
The trunk courtesy lights turn on automatically
when the trunk is opened and turn off when it
is closed. All of these lights turn on and off
regardless of the ignition status.

Description
The Automatic Dual Zone Climate Control
System adjusts the temperature and air distri-
bution independently between the driver and
passenger.
The system maintains the set temperature
inside the passenger compartment and
compensates for outside temperature change.

NOTE:

The reference temperature is 72°F (22°C) for
optimal comfort management.
The automatic setting will adjust the following
to maintain comfort within the passenger
compartment:
Air temperature from the driver/front
passenger side vents
Air distribution from the driver/front
passenger side vents

Fan speed (continuous variation of the air flow)

Compressor variations (for cooling/dehu -
midifying the air)
Air recirculation The Climate Control System can also be oper
-
ated manually by using the buttons and knobs
on the faceplate.
Manual selections will override the automatic
settings, which are stored until the AUTO
button is pushed. If the system intervenes for
safety reasons, the automatic setting will take
control of the system.
The below operations will not deactivate the
automatic (AUTO) function:
Air Recirculation activation/deactivation
A/C activation/deactivation
SYNC function activation

Rear Window Defrost activation/deactivation

When in AUTO mode, the vehicle’s internal
temperature is controlled according to the set
temperature.
The following can be manually set or adjusted:
Driver/passenger air temperature
Blower speed (continuous variation)
Air distribution (seven positions for driver
and passenger)
A/C activation
Front Defrost
Air recirculation
Rear Defrost
System deactivation
A/C Compressor
Push the A/C button or the icon to activate or
deactivate the A/C compressor (indicator illu-
minated when activated). The A/C compressor
will remain off even after the engine has
stopped.
When the A/C compressor is turned off, the
system deactivates air recirculation to prevent
the windows from fogging up. If the climate
control system can maintain the temperature,
with the A/C turned off, the AUTO feature will
remain on and the AUTO button indicator light
will not switch off.
To restore automatic control of the A/C
compressor, push the A/C button or the AUTO
button. With the A/C compressor off, the air
speed can be set manually using the Air Speed
Adjustment Knob.
When the A/C compressor is on, and the
engine is running, air speed cannot be lower
than the minimum speed (only one indicator
light is lit).

NOTE:

When the A/C is off, the Climate Control
system can not produce air that is colder than
the current outside temperature. Under
certain environmental conditions, windows
could fog up rapidly, since the air is not dehu -
midified. CAUTION!

The system uses R1234yf refrigerant, which
does not pollute the environment in the event of
accidental leakage. Under no circumstances, use
R134a and R12 fluids, which are incompatible
with the components of this system.

21_GA_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 51

the number of buttons and knobs indicate that
the selected feature is on/off. If no operation
is performed for a predetermined time, the
pop-up will close on the display.
Humidity Sensor
The Humidity Sensor helps prevent the
windows from fogging up. The AUTO function
(indicator illuminated) must be on for the
Humidity Sensor to function.
When outside temperature is low, the system
may turn the compressor on and turn air recir-
culation off for safer driving.
Stop/Start
The Stop/Start system shuts off the engine
when the vehicle speed is 0 mph (0 km/h), as
a fuel conservation measure.
In order to maintain comfort in the cabin, the
Stop/Start feature will not activate if any of the
following conditions exist:
The climate control system is in AUTO mode
(indicator illuminated), and the vehicle has
yet to reach the set temperature

The climate control system is in LO maximum
cooling
The climate control system is in HI maximum
heating
The climate control system is in the MAX-DEF
status
When the Stop/Start system is active, the
engine will restart if the inside temperature
changes significantly, or if the LO setting, or
MAX-DEF setting, is activated.
With Stop/Start system on (engine is off), air
flow is reduced to keep the compartment
comfort conditions for longer.

Until the temperature drastically changes within
the cabin, the climate control system will
continue to maintain the temperature while the
engine is off. By deactivating the Stop/Start
system with the button (located by the head
-
light switch), the climate control system operates
normally according to the settings.

NOTE:

In harsh climate conditions, limit the use of
the Stop/Start system to prevent the
compressor from continuously switching on
and off. This will prevent rapid misting of the
windows and the accumulation of humidity
in the passenger compartment.
When the Stop/Start system is on, the
climate control system will always take air in
from outside, reducing the probability of the
windows fogging up.
System Maintenance
In winter months, the Climate Control system
must be turned on at least once a month for
approximately ten minutes.
Have the system inspected at an authorized
dealer before the summer.
INTERIOR STORAGE AND
EQUIPMENT
Glove Compartment
The glove compartment is located on the
passenger side of the instrument panel.
Opening The Glove Compartment
Pull the release handle to open the glove
compartment.
When the glove compartment is opened, a
light turns on to illuminate the inside of the
compartment.

NOTE:

If equipped with a lock, unlock the glove
compartment by placing the emergency key
in the lock on the handle.
Do not insert large objects that will prevent
the glove compartment from closing
completely.
