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.

page 21.DRIVER MEMORY SETTINGS — IF
EQUIPPED
This feature allows the driver to store up to
three different memory profiles for easy recall
through a memory switch. Each memory
profile saves desired position settings for the
following features:
Driver seat
Side mirrors
The memory setting switch is located on the
outboard side of the driver’s seat. The switch
consists of three buttons, one for each
memory profile.
Seatback Width Adjustment
Programming The Memory Feature
To create a new memory profile, perform the
following:
1. Place the vehicle’s ignition in the ACC posi -
tion (do not start the engine), and make
sure the driver’s door is closed.

NOTE:

A memory profile can also be set for three
minutes after the driver’s door has been
opened.
2. Adjust all memory profile settings to desired preferences, driver’s seat and
mirror positions.
3. Push and hold the memory button you want to program for 1.5 seconds.

NOTE:

When a new profile as been set, the previously
set profile for that button will be overwritten.
Memory Position Recall
To recall a previously set position, push and
release the memory profile button assigned to
the desired positions.

NOTE:

Memory position recall can be done for
approximately three minutes after the doors
have been opened, and for approximately one
minute after the ignition is placed in the OFF
position.

Persons who are unable to feel pain to the
skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medi -
cation, alcohol use, exhaustion, or other
physical conditions must exercise care
when using the steering wheel heater. It
may cause burns even at low tempera -
tures, especially if used for long periods.
Do not place anything on the steering
wheel that insulates against heat, such as
a blanket or steering wheel covers of any
type and material. This may cause the
steering wheel heater to overheat.

System Manual Activation/Deactivation
To manually activate/deactivate the system,
push the button located in the control panel on
the left of the steering wheel.Stop/Start Button
System Activation
The activation of the system is indicated by the symbol lighting up on the display. In this
condition, the light on the button is off.
System Deactivation
A message will appear on the display when the
system is deactivated. In this condition, the
light on the button is on.

NOTE:

Each time the engine is started, the system is
activated regardless of where it was when it
was previously switched off.
Possible Reasons The Engine Does Not
Autostop
For higher comfort and increased safety, and
to reduce emissions, there are certain condi -
tions where the engine will not autostop
despite the system being active, such as:
Engine still cold.
Especially cold outside temperature.
Battery not sufficiently charged.
Driver's door not shut.
Driver's seat belt not fastened.
Reverse gear engaged (e.g. for parking
maneuvers).
With the automatic climate control active,
an adequate cabin heating or cooling
comfort has not been reached or with
MAX-DEF function active.
During the first period of use, to initialize the
system.
Steering angle beyond threshold.
Engine Restarting Conditions
Due to comfort, emission control and safety
reasons, the engine can restart automatically
without any action by the driver, under special
conditions, such as:
Battery not sufficiently charged.
Vehicle moving (e.g. when driving on roads
with a grade).
Engine stopping by the Stop/Start system
for more than approximately three minutes.
With the automatic climate control active,
an adjustment in cabin heating or cooling is
made or with MAX-DEF function active.
Safety Functions

When the engine is stopped through the Stop/
Start system, if the driver releases their seat belt,
opens the driver's or passenger's door, or opens
the hood from inside the vehicle, the engine can
be restarted only by using the ignition.

This condition is indicated to the driver both
through a buzzer and a message on the instru-
ment cluster display.

the on/off button location on the left side of
the steering wheel.
The activation of the system is signaled by the
illumination of the white warning light on the
instrument cluster.Cruise Control Indicator Light
The Cruise Control function can remain active
at the same time as the Speed Limiter System.
If the set speed is higher than the speed set
with the Speed Limiter, the set speed will be
lowered to that of the Speed Limiter.
For Quadrifoglio vehicles, this function
remains available in RACE mode.

NOTE:

The system cannot be engaged in FIRST or
REVERSE gear. It is advisable to engage it in
THIRD gear or higher if using the AutoStick
feature.
To Set A Desired Speed
To set a desired speed, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the Cruise Control on.
2. When the vehicle has reached the desired speed, push the SET switch up or down
and release to activate. When the acceler -
ator is released, the vehicle will maintain
the selected speed automatically.
SET Switch Location If needed (when overtaking for instance), you
can accelerate beyond the set speed by
pressing the accelerator. When you release
the pedal, the vehicle will return to the previ
-
ously set speed.
When traveling downhill with the system
active, the vehicle speed may slightly exceed
the set one.

NOTE:

Before pushing the SET switch, the vehicle
must be traveling at a constant speed on a flat
surface.
To Vary The Speed Setting
To Increase Or Decrease The Set Speed
When the Cruise Control is set, you can
increase the speed by pushing the SET switch
upward or decrease the speed by pushing the
SET switch downward.
U.S. Speed (mph)
Pushing the SET switch once will result in a
1 mph speed adjustment. Each subsequent
movement of the switch results in an adjust -
ment of 1 mph.
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.
WARNING!
Leaving the Cruise Control system on when
not in use is dangerous. You could
accidentally set the system or cause it to go
faster than you want. You could lose control
and have an accident. Always ensure the
system is OFF when you are not using it.

INTELLIGENT SPEED CONTROL
(ISC) SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Intelligent Speed Control (ISC) system is
always paired with the Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) system. The ISC system suggests an
automatic speed adjustment to the driver
based on the speed limit for the road being
traveled. The driver can decide whether to
accept or reject the automatic speed adjust-
ment, using the switch on the steering wheel.
If the speed limit is exceeded according to the
road signs or traffic conditions, a dedicated
graphic message is displayed on the instru -
ment panel display. RES/SET Switch
To Activate/Deactivate
To Activate
The system can be activated in the radio
system within the “Driver Assistance” menu.
The symbol illuminates in the instrument
cluster display when the system is active.

The system is deactivated under the following
conditions:
When the Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR)
system is deactivated
When the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
system is deactivated

NOTE:

Selecting “Speed Offset” allows the driver to
set the speed up to a maximum of 6 mph
(10 km/h) above or below the suggested
speed set by the ISC system. In this instance,
the road sign information shown in the instru -
ment cluster display will continue to be
detected by the TSR system.
Indications On The Display
The system status is indicated by a white or
green icon in the instrument cluster display
(similar to the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
device) to the left of the road sign indications
provided by the Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR)
system.
