Cigar Lighter And Ash Tray — If Equipped
If equipped, the cigar lighter is located on the
bottom of the center stack, in front of the
cupholders.
To activate the cigar lighter, push in and wait a
few seconds. Once the cigar lighter has
returned to its original position, it is ready for
use.

NOTE:

Always ensure the cigar lighter is turned off
when not in use.1 — Cigar Lighter
If equipped, the ash tray is a removable plastic
container located inside the cupholder.
Wireless Charging Pad — If Equipped
Wireless Charging Pad
Your vehicle may be equipped with a 15W 3A
Qi wireless charging pad located inside of the
center console. This charging pad is designed
to wirelessly charge your Qi enabled mobile
phone. Qi is a standard that uses magnetic
induction to transfer power to your mobile
device.
Your mobile phone must be designed for Qi
wireless charging.
CAUTION!
Power outlets are designed for accessory
plugs only. Do not insert any other object
in the power outlets as this will damage
the outlet and blow the fuse. Improper use
of the power outlet can cause damage not
covered by your New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
Many accessories that can be plugged in
draw power from the vehicle's battery,
even when not in use (i.e., cellular phones,
etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long
enough, the vehicle's battery will
discharge sufficiently to degrade battery
life and/or prevent the engine from
starting.
Accessories that draw higher power (i.e.,
coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will
degrade the battery even more quickly.
Only use these intermittently and with
greater caution.
After the use of high power draw accesso -
ries, or long periods of the vehicle not
being started (with accessories still
plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a
sufficient length of time to allow the
generator to recharge the vehicle's
battery.

Exterior Lights Failure
The telltale will illuminate to indicate
a failure on the following lights:
daytime running lights (DRLs) /
parking lights / trailer turn signal
indicators (if present) / trailer lights (if
present) / side lights / turn signal indicators /
rear fog light / reversing light / brake lights /
license plate lights.
The failure may be caused by a blown bulb, a
blown protection fuse, or an interruption of the
electrical connection.
Replace the bulb or the relevant fuse. Contact
an authorized dealer.
Keyless System Failure
The telltale will illuminate in the
event of keyless system failure.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Fuel Cut-Off System Failure
The telltale will illuminate in the
event of fuel cut-off system failure.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Lane Departure Warning (LDW) System
Failure — If Equipped
The telltale will illuminate in the
event of a fault in the Lane Depar -
ture Warning system.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Automatic High Beam Headlights Failure —
If Equipped
The telltale will illuminate to report a
failure of the automatic high beam
headlights.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible to have the failure eliminated.
Automatic Transmission Fluid Overheating
The telltale will illuminate in the case
of transmission overheating, after a
particularly demanding use. In this
case an engine performance limita -
tion is carried out.
Wait for the telltale to turn off with the engine
off or idling.
Audio System Failure
The telltale will illuminate to report a
failure of the audio system.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible to have the failure eliminated.
Speed Limiter System Failure
While driving, the telltale will illumi -
nate to signal a Speed Limiter
system failure.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible to have the failure eliminated.
Loose Fuel Filler Cap
Lights up if the fuel tank cap is open
or not properly closed.
Tighten the cap properly.
Electric Park Brake Failure

The telltale will illuminate and a
message will display to signal a failure
in the electric park brake system.
This failure may partially or completely block the
vehicle because the park brake could remain
activated even if automatically or manually
disengaged using the relevant controls. In these
circumstances, you can disengage the park
brake following the emergency disengagement
procedure

Ú
page 201.
If you are still able to drive the vehicle (park
brake is not engaged), drive to the nearest autho -
rized dealer and remember, when executing any
maneuvers/commands, that the electric park
brake is not operational.

WARNING!

If a failure is present with sharp braking, the rear
wheels may lock and the vehicle may swerve.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

192

(Continued)
SOS - Emergency Call System Limitations

When the ignition switches to the RUN position,
the Emergency Call system runs a routine check.
During this check, a red indicator will illuminate
for about three seconds. This signal must not be
confused with a fault warning. In the event of a
malfunction, the red indicator would remain on.
If the SOS - Emergency Call system detects a
malfunction, any of the following may occur at
the time the malfunction is detected:

NOTE:

The SOS Call function may not be available for
the first minute after the vehicle is started
The LED next to the SOS button will be
continuously illuminated red.
The Emergency Call system is powered by
its own non-rechargeable battery to ensure
operation, even when the vehicle battery is
discharged or disconnected. When system
battery is discharged, the instrument
cluster display will show a special message,
different than other messages referring to
other types of faults. In this case, the
system works only if powered by the
vehicle’s battery.
The instrument cluster will display a
message alerting you to contact the Service
Network along with a failure warning light.Even if the SOS - Emergency Call system is fully
functional, external or uncontrolled factors
may prevent or stop SOS - Emergency Call
operation. These include, but are not limited
to, the following factors:
The key fob has been removed from the
vehicle, and the delayed accessories mode
is active.
The ignition is in OFF position.
The vehicle’s electrical systems are not
intact.
The SOS - Emergency Call system software
and/or hardware is damaged during a
vehicle collision.
There are network problems that could limit
or impair service operation (e.g., error by
operator, busy network, bad weather, etc.).
If the vehicle battery connection fails due to a
collision or accident, the system can support
an SOS - Emergency Call for a limited period of
time. If the battery is disconnected for service,
the system turns off. In this case, it will be
possible to make an SOS - Emergency Call only
when the battery is reconnected to the
vehicle’s electrical system. System Requirements
Vehicle must have an operable 3G network
connection.
Vehicle must be powered with a properly
functioning electrical system.
The ignition must be in the RUN or ACC posi
-
tion.
WARNING!
Never place anything on or near the
vehicle’s 3G and GPS aerials. You could
prevent 3G and GPS signal reception,
which can prevent your vehicle from
placing an emergency call. An operable
3G network connection and a GPS signal
is required for the SOS-Emergency Call
system to function properly.

Replacing The Battery
If necessary, replace the battery with another
battery with the same specifications. It is
advised to contact an authorized dealer for
replacement.
Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions
for maintenance.

NOTE:

It will not be possible to open the trunk with a
key or by pressing the button in the passenger
compartment when the battery is discon-
nected. So, always position the manual trunk
opening strap on the trunk lock before discon -
necting the battery

FUSES
General Information
The fuses protect electrical systems against
excessive current.
When a device does not work, you must check
the electrical circuit inside of the fuse for a
break/melt.
Also, please be aware that using power outlets
for extended periods of time with the engine
off may result in vehicle battery discharge. Blade Fuses
J-CASE Fuse
WARNING!
When replacing a blown fuse, always use
an appropriate replacement fuse with the
same amp rating as the original fuse.
Never replace a fuse with another fuse of
higher amp rating. Never replace a blown
fuse with metal wires or any other mate -
rial. Do not place a fuse inside a circuit
breaker cavity or vice versa. Failure to use
proper fuses may result in serious
personal injury, fire and/or property
damage.
Before replacing a fuse, make sure that
the ignition is off and that all the other
services are switched off and/or disen -
gaged.
If the replaced fuse blows again, contact
an authorized dealer.
If a general protection fuse for safety
systems (air bag system, braking system),
power unit systems (engine system, trans -
mission system) or steering system blows,
contact an authorized dealer.
