or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Never
leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in
a location accessible to children. Do not
leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with
keyless ignition in the ON/RUN position.
Occupants, particularly unattended children,
can become entrapped by the power sunroof
while operating the power sunroof switch.
Such entrapment may result in serious injury
or death.
In a collision, there is a greater risk of being
thrown from a vehicle with an open sunroof.
You could also be seriously injured or killed.
Always fasten your seat belt properly and
make sure all passengers are also properly
secured.
Do not allow small children to operate the
sunroof. Never allow your fingers, other body
parts, or any object, to project through the

To deactivate the sequential driving mode, bring
the gear selector back in position DRIVE (D)
(“automatic” driving mode).

NOTE:

To select the correct gear for maximum
deceleration (engine brake), just keep the gear
paddle pulled (–): the transmission goes to an
operating mode in which the vehicle can slow
down easily.
The vehicle will keep the gear selected by the
driver until the safety conditions allow it.
This means, for example, that the system will
try to prevent the engine from switching off,
automatically downshifting if the engine speed
is too low.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LIMP HOME
M
ODE
Transmission function is monitored electronically
for abnormal conditions. If a condition is detected
that could result in transmission damage,
Transmission Limp Home Mode is activated.
In this condition, the transmission stays in
FOURTH gear, regardless of the selected gear. Positions PARK (P), REVERSE (R) and NEUTRAL
(N) still work.
The symbol might light up in the instrument
cluster.
Temporary failure
In the event of a momentary problem, the

Even if the transmission can be reset, we recom -
mend that you visit an authorized dealer at your
earliest possible convenience. An authorized
dealer has diagnostic equipment to determine if
the problem could reoccur. If the transmission
cannot be reset, service is required at an autho -
rized dealer.
BRAKE/TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK

CRUISE CONTROL
SYSTEMS — IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with the Cruise
Control system, or the Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) system:
Cruise Control will keep your vehicle at a
constant preset speed.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) will adjust the
vehicle speed up to the preset speed to
maintain a distance with the vehicle ahead.

NOTE:

In vehicles equipped with ACC, if ACC is not
enabled, Fixed Speed Cruise Control will not
detect vehicles directly ahead of you. Always
be aware of the feature selected.
Only one Cruise Control feature can operate at
a time. For example, if Fixed Speed Cruise
Control is enabled, Adaptive Cruise Control will
be unavailable, and vice versa.

(Continued)
However, it is not a safety system and not
designed to prevent collisions. The Cruise Control
function performs differently


Ú
page 98.
ACC will allow you to keep Cruise Control engaged
in light to moderate traffic conditions without the
constant need to reset your Cruise Control. ACC
uses a radar sensor located behind the front
bumper and a camera located in the center/
upper part of the windshield, to detect the
presence of a vehicle close ahead.
The system sets and holds the vehicle at the
desired speed without needing to press the
accelerator. It also sets and holds a distance
from the vehicle ahead (these settings are set by
the driver).
Front Bumper Radar Location Windshield Camera Location
If the system detects a vehicle ahead, it will
automatically intervene by slightly braking or
accelerating in order to maintain the preset
distance. It will not exceed the original set speed
when adapting to the speed of the vehicle ahead.

NOTE:
Adaptive Cruise Control performance is not guar -
anteed under the following circumstances, and it
is recommended to turn the system off when:
Driving in fog, heavy rain, or snow.
Driving in heavy traffic or construction zones.
Driving on icy, snowy, slippery roads, roads
with steep inclines, or roads with numerous
turns and bends.
Entering a turn lane.
When circumstances do not allow safe driving
at a constant speed
Ú
page 238.
WARNING!
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a
convenience system. It is not a substitute for
active driver involvement. It is always the
driver’s responsibility to be attentive of road,
traffic, and weather conditions, vehicle
speed, distance to the vehicle ahead and,
most importantly, brake operation to ensure
safe operation of the vehicle under all road
conditions. Your complete attention is
always required while driving to maintain
safe control of your vehicle. Failure to follow
these warnings can result in a collision and
death or serious personal injury.
The ACC system:
• May react to pedestrians, oncoming
vehicles, and stationary objects (e.g., a stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle) at speeds between 2 mph and 35 mph (4 km/h and
60 km/h).
• Cannot take street, traffic, and weather
conditions into account, and may be limited upon adverse sight distanceconditions.
• Does not always fully recognize complex
driving conditions, which can re sult in
wro n

g or missing distance warnings.
