WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column while

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)
which could interfere with the hand detec -
tion sensor on the steering wheel of the
Active Blind Spot Assist (ABSA), Lane
Keeping Assist (LKA), Traffic Jam Assist
(TJA), or Highway Assist systems (HAS) (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!
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.

To close the window, pull the window switch
up. To stop the window during Auto-Up opera-
tion, push or pull the window switch again.
Auto-Up Feature With Anti-Pinch Protection
The vehicle is equipped with an anti-pinch
safety device for closing the windows.
If the safety system senses any obstacle while
the window is closing, it will stop the window’s
movement and reverse it, depending on its
position.
This device is also useful if the windows are
activated accidentally by children inside the
vehicle.
The anti-pinch safety function is activated both
during the manual and the automatic opera -
tion of the window.
When the anti-pinch system is activated, the
window closing is immediately interrupted.
Then the window closing is automatically reversed and the window lowers by about
8 inches (20 cm) in relation to the first stop
position. The window cannot be operated
during this time.

NOTE:

In the event of an error, or if the anti-pinch
protection is activated three consecutive
times, the automatic closing operation of the
window will be deactivated. In order to restore
the correct operation of the system, the
window must be lowered.
Power Window System Initialization

If power supply is interrupted, the electric
window automatic operation must be reinitial
-
ized.

To perform the initialization procedure, which
must be done on each door with the doors
closed, manually fully close the window to be
initialized.
Wind Buffeting
Wind buffeting can be described as the
perception of pressure on the ears or a heli -
copter-type sound in the ears. Your vehicle
may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows
down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain
open or partially open positions. This is a
normal occurrence and can be minimized. If
the buffeting occurs with the rear windows
open, open the front and rear windows together to minimize the buffeting. If the
buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust
the sunroof opening to minimize the buffeting
or open any window.
POWER SUNROOF — IF
EQUIPPED
Power Sunroof
The power sunroof consists of a single glass
panel and is fitted with a power sunshade the
full length of the panel.
Operation of the sunroof is only possible with
the ignition in the ACC or ON/RUN position

become entrapped by the windows while
operating the power window switches. Such
entrapment may result in serious injury or
death.
