Frontal Collision Alarm With Active Braking — If 
Equipped
If this function is selected, the brakes are 
operated to reduce the speed of the vehicle in the 
event of potential frontal impact.
This function applies an additional braking 
pressure if the braking pressure applied by the 
driver does not suffice to prevent potential frontal 
impact.
The function is active with speed above 2 mph 
(4 km/h).
NOTE:
When using an automatic car wash it is recom-
mended to deactivate the system through the 
settings of the radio system. The system may 
detect the presence of a car, a wall or another 
obstacle and activate.
Driving In Special Conditions
In certain driving conditions, system intervention 
might be unexpected or delayed. The driver must 
therefore be very careful, keeping control of the 
vehicle to drive in complete safety.
Driving close to a bend.
The vehicle ahead is leaving a roundabout.
Vehicles with small dimensions and/or not 
aligned in the driving lane.
Lane change by other vehicles.
Vehicles traveling at right angles to the vehicle.
NOTE:
In particularly complex traffic conditions, the 
driver can deactivate the system manually 
through the Information and Entertainment 
system.
If the driver presses the brake pedal fully or 
makes an excessive steering maneuver during 
system operation, the automatic braking 
function may deactivate (e.g. to allow a 
possible maneuver to avoid the obstacle).
The FCW system is automatically deactivated 
when operating in race mode and a warning 
message will be displayed on the instrument 
cluster.
Driving Close To A Bend
When entering or leaving a wide bend, the system 
may detect a vehicle in front of you, but not 
driving in the same driving lane. In cases such as 
these, the system may intervene.
Driving Around Wide Curves The Vehicle Ahead Is Leaving A Roundabout
On a roundabout, the system could intervene 
when it detects a vehicle ahead that is leaving the 
roundabout.
Driving In Roundabouts
Vehicles With Small Dimensions And/Or Not 
Aligned In The Driving Lane
The system cannot detect vehicles in front of the 
vehicle if they are outside the range of the radar 
sensor and may not react to small vehicles, such 
as bicycles or motorcycles.

SPARE TIRES — IF EQUIPPED 
NOTE:
For vehicles equipped with Tire Service Kit 
instead of a spare tire  
Ú
page 181.
Spare Tire Matching Original Equipped 
Tire And Wheel — If Equipped   
Your vehicle may be equipped with a spare tire 
and wheel equivalent in look and function to the 
original equipment tire and wheel found on the 
front or rear axle of your vehicle. This spare tire 
may be used in the tire rotation for your vehicle. If 
your vehicle has this option, refer to an 
authorized tire dealer for the recommended tire 
rotation pattern.
Compact Spare Tire — If Equipped 
The compact spare is for temporary emergency 
use only. You can identify if your vehicle is 
equipped with a compact spare by looking at the 
spare tire description on the Tire and Loading 
Information Placard located on the driver’s side 
door opening or on the sidewall of the tire. 
Compact spare tire descriptions begin with the 
letter “T” or “S” preceding the size designation. 
Example: T145/80D18 103M.
T, S = Temporary Spare TireSince this tire has limited tread life, the original 
equipment tire should be repaired (or replaced) 
and reinstalled on your vehicle at the first 
opportunity.
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount 
a conventional tire on the compact spare wheel, 
since the wheel is designed specifically for the 
compact spare tire. Do not install more than one 
compact spare tire and wheel on the vehicle at 
any given time.
Full Size Spare — If Equipped 
The full size spare is for temporary emergency 
use only. This tire may look like the originally 
equipped tire on the front or rear axle of your 
vehicle, but it is not. This spare tire may have 
limited tread life. When the tread is worn to the 
tread wear indicators, the temporary use full size 
spare tire needs to be replaced. Since it is not the 
same as your original equipment tire, replace (or 
repair) the original equipment tire and reinstall 
on the vehicle at the first opportunity.
 WARNING!
Do not use a tire, wheel size, load rating, or 
speed rating other than that specified for 
your vehicle. Some combinations of 
unapproved tires and wheels may change 
suspension dimensions and performance 
characteristics, resulting in changes to 
steering, handling, and braking of your 
vehicle. This can cause unpredictable 
handling and stress to steering and 
suspension components. You could lose 
control and have a collision resulting in 
serious injury or death. Use only the tire and 
wheel sizes with load ratings approved for 
your vehicle.
Never use a tire with a smaller load index or 
capacity, other than what was originally 
equipped on your vehicle. Using a tire with a 
smaller load index could result in tire 
overloading and failure. You could lose 
control and have a collision.
Failure to equip your vehicle with tires having 
adequate speed capability can result in 
sudden tire failure and loss of vehicle 
control.
 CAUTION!
Replacing original tires with tires of a different 
size may result in false speedometer and 
odometer readings.
 CAUTION!
Because of the reduced ground clearance, do 
not take your vehicle through an automatic car 
wash with a compact or limited use temporary 
spare installed. Damage to the vehicle may 
result.
 WARNING!
Compact and collapsible spares are for 
temporary emergency use only. With these 
spares, do not drive more than 50 mph 
(80 km/h). Temporary use spares have limited 
tread life. When the tread is worn to the tread 
wear indicators, the temporary use spare tire 
needs to be replaced. Be sure to follow the 
warnings, which apply to your spare. Failure to 
do so could result in spare tire failure and loss 
of vehicle control.

Summer Or Three Season Tires — 
If Equipped
Summer tires provide traction in both wet and dry 
conditions, and are not intended to be driven in 
snow or on ice. If your vehicle is equipped with 
Summer tires, be aware these tires are not 
designed for Winter or cold driving conditions. 
Install Winter tires on your vehicle when ambient 
temperatures are less than 40°F (5°C) or if 
roads are covered with ice or snow. For more 
information, contact an authorized dealer.
Summer tires do not contain the all season 
designation or mountain/snowflake symbol on 
the tire sidewall. Use Summer tires only in sets of 
four; failure to do so may adversely affect the 
safety and handling of your vehicle.
Snow Tires 
Some areas of the country require the use of 
snow tires during the Winter. Snow tires can be 
identified by a “mountain/snowflake” symbol on 
the tire sidewall.If you need snow tires, select tires 
equivalent in size and type to the 
original equipment tires. Use snow tires 
only in sets of four; failure to do so may 
adversely affect the safety and handling of your 
vehicle. Snow tires generally have lower speed ratings 
than what was originally equipped with your 
vehicle and should not be operated at sustained 
speeds over 75 mph (120 km/h). For speeds 
above 75 mph (120 km/h) refer to original 
equipment or an authorized tire dealer for 
recommended safe operating speeds, loading 
and cold tire inflation pressures.
While studded tires improve performance on ice, 
skid and traction capability on wet or dry surfaces 
may be poorer than that of non-studded tires. Some 
states prohibit studded tires; therefore, local laws 
should be checked before using these tire types.
TIRE CHAINS AND TRACTION DEVICES
It is possible to fit 13 mm chains on the tires:
2.0L engines, 18” and 19” are chainable.
2.9L engines, 20” and 21” are chainable.
Use of traction devices require sufficient 
tire-to-body clearance. Follow these recommen -
dations to guard against damage.
NOTE:
Traction device must be of proper size for the 
tire, as recommended by the traction device 
manufacturer.
Use on rear tires only.
Check the tension of the snow chains after the 
first few meters have been driven.
Using snow chains with tires with non-original 
dimensions may damage the vehicle.
Using different tires sizes or types (M+S, snow, 
etc.) between the front and rear axles may 
adversely affect vehicle drivability, with the 
risk of losing control of the vehicle and 
resulting accidents.
 WARNING!
Do not use Summer tires in snow/ice 
conditions. You could lose vehicle control, 
resulting in severe injury or death. Driving too 
fast for conditions also creates the possibility 
of loss of vehicle control.
 CAUTION!
To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, 
observe the following precautions:
Because of restricted traction device 
clearance between tires and other 
suspension components, it is important that 
only traction devices in good condition are 
used. Broken devices can cause serious 
damage. Stop the vehicle immediately if 
noise occurs that could indicate device 
breakage. Remove the damaged parts of the 
device before further use.
Install device as tightly as possible and then 
retighten after driving about ½ mile (0.8 km).
Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).
Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and 
large bumps, especially with a loaded 
vehicle.
Do not drive for a prolonged period on dry 
pavement.
Observe the traction device manufacturer’s 
instructions on the method of installation, 
operating speed, and conditions for use. 
Always use the suggested operating speed of 
the device manufacturer’s if it is less than 
30 mph (48 km/h).
Do not use traction devices on a compact 
spare tire.
