To Use SOS - Emergency Call
Push  and  hold  the  SOS  -  Emergency  Call
button  for  a  few  seconds.  The  LED,  located
next  to  the  SOS  button,  will  blink  once  and
then stay on indicating a call has been placed.
NOTE:
If the SOS - Emergency Call button is acciden-
tally pushed, there is a 10 second delay before
the  call  is  placed.  The  system  will  issue  a
verbal alert that a call is about to be made. To
cancel  the  call  connection,  push  the  SOS  -
Emergency Call button again.
Once a connection between the vehicle and an
emergency service operator is made, the SOS
-  Emergency  Call  system  will  transmit  the
following important vehicle information  to the
operator:
Indication that the occupant placed an SOS
- Emergency Call.
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
The  last  known  GPS  coordinates  of  the
vehicle.
You  will then  be  able  to speak with the  emer -
gency  service  operator  to  determine  if  addi -
tional help is needed.
The  SOS  -  Emergency  Call  has  priority  over
other  audio  sources,  which  will  be  muted.  If
you  have  a  phone  connected  via Bluetooth,  it
is disconnected and reconnected at the end of
the  SOS  -  Emergency  Call.  Voice  prompts  will
guide you during the SOS - Emergency Call. If a connection  is  made  between  an  emergency
service  operator  and your  vehicle, emergency
service  operators  may  record  conversations
and sounds within your vehicle once a connec
-
tion  is  made,  and  by  using  the  service  you
consent to having this information shared.
NOTE:
If you have not subscribed to the SOS service
or if the service is not available or has expired,
the  Connect  system  will  display  a  dedicated
screen  when  the  button  is  pressed  informing
you to contact the national emergency number
9-1-1  (the  respective  graphic  button  will  be
displayed  to  make  the  call  if  you  have
connected  your  mobile phone  via Bluetooth®
The  call  to  the  national  emergency  number
9-1-1  will  be  made  via  the  mobile  phone  by
pressing  red  graphic  button  shown  on  the
Connect system display.
SOS Screen Message SOS - Emergency Call System Limitations
When  the  ignition  switches  to  the  RUN  posi
-
tion, 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  malfunc -
tion 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.

Automatic Transmission
Use only a transmission oil with the character-
istics indicated  
Ú
 page 263.
Special Additives
Do not use any type of additive with the auto -
matic  transmission  oil.  The  automatic  trans -
mission oil is a product designed specially for this  vehicle  and  its  performance  may  be
compromised through the use of further addi
-
tives.
Frequency of Oil Changes
In normal vehicle operating conditions, it is not
necessary to change the transmission oil.
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.
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
To  avoid  contamination  from  foreign
matter  or  moisture,  use  only  new  brake
fluid  or  fluid  that  has  been  in  a  tightly
closed  container.  Keep  the  master
cylinder reservoir cap secured at all times.
Brake  fluid  in  a  open  container  absorbs
moisture  from  the  air  resulting  in  a  lower
boiling  point.  This  may  cause  it  to  boil
unexpectedly  during  hard  or  prolonged
braking, resulting in sudden brake failure.
This could result in a collision.
Overfilling  the  brake  fluid  reservoir  can
result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine
parts, causing the brake fluid to catch fire.
Brake fluid can also damage painted and
vinyl  surfaces,  care  should  be  taken  to
avoid its contact with these surfaces.
Do  not  allow  petroleum-based  fluid  to
contaminate  the  brake  fluid.  Brake  seal
components  could  be  damaged,  causing
partial  or  complete  brake  failure.  This
could result in a collision.
 WARNING! (Continued)
 CAUTION!
Do  not  use  chemical  flushes  in  your
transmission as the chemicals can damage
your  transmission  components.  Such
damage  is  not  covered  by  the  New  Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
 CAUTION!
If  a  transmission  fluid  leak  occurs,  visit  an
authorized  dealer  immediately.  Severe
transmission  damage  may  occur.  An
authorized  dealer  has  the  proper  tools  to
adjust the fluid level accurately.

them, and extract the pliers pulling upwards.
The  pliers  have  two  different  ends,  both  of
which are specifically designed to remove the
different types of fuses present in the vehicle:
Fuse Extracting Pliers
After use, return the pliers to their proper posi -
tion by following the below procedures:
Grasp  the  pliers  from  the  upper  tabs  and

2 — 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.
