AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS —
I
F EQUIPPED
The Automatic High Beam Headlights system
provides increased forward lighting at night by
automating high beam control through the use of
a camera mounted on the windshield. This
camera detects vehicle specific light and
automatically switches from high beams to low
beams until the approaching vehicle is out of
view.
This function is enabled with the radio system,
and can only be activated with the light switch
turned to (AUTO).
If the high beam headlights are on, the blue icon/
indicator light will illuminate in the instrument
panel.

When the speed is higher than 25 mph (40 km/h)
and the function is active, the lights will turn off if
the multifunction lever is pushed again.

When the speed is lower than 15 mph (25 km/h)
and the function is active, the function switches
the high beam headlights off.
If the high beam headlights are operated quickly
again (pushing the multifunction lever towards
the instrument panel), the icon/indicator light
will illuminate in the instrument panel, and the
high beam headlights will turn on constantly until
the speed exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h).
When the speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) is
exceeded again, the automatic functioning is
reactivated.
If the multifunction lever is pushed again with the
Automatic High Beam Headlights activated, the
Automatic High Beam Headlights function
deactivates. To deactivate the automatic headlight function,
rotate the headlight switch to the position.
NOTE:

If the system recognizes heavy traffic areas,
the automatic functions remain disabled
independently of the vehicle’s speed.
The Automatic High Beam functionality may
also be influenced by:
• Reflections on road signs
• Dim headlights from oncoming traffic
• Poor weather conditions
• Presence of dirt or other obstructions on
the sensor
• Damage to the windshield
PARKING LIGHTS
To turn on the parking lights and instrument
panel lights, rotate the headlight switch
clockwise to the position. All of the parking
lights will turn on for eight minutes, and opening
the door activates an audible warning.
To leave only the lights on one side (right/left)
illuminated, move the multifunction lever
(located on the left side of the steering wheel) to
the side that you want to remain on. With the
parking lights on, the indicator light on the
instrument panel will illuminate.
To turn off the parking lights, rotate the headlight
switch back to the O (off) position.
HEADLIGHT OFF DELAY
To assist when exiting the vehicle, the “Headlight
Off Delay” feature will leave the headlights on for
up to 90 seconds. This delay is initiated when the
ignition is placed in the OFF position while the
headlight switch is on, and then the headlight
switch is cycled off. Headlight delay can be
canceled by either turning on the headlights or
side lights, or by placing the ignition in the ON
position.
The function can be activated from the radio
system by selecting the following functions in
sequence on the main menu:
1. Settings
2. Lights
3. Headlight Off Delay
REAR FOG LIGHT
The rear fog lights may be operated as desired
when visibility is poor due to fog. The rear fog light
button is integrated with the headlight switch.
Push the button to turn the rear fog lights on/
off.
The lights can be turned off by pushing the
button again or by turning the headlight switch to
the O (off) position and holding it there for a few
seconds.

NOTE:
The headlight switch must first be turned to the
parking lights or headlights position before the
rear fog light button can be pushed.
When the engine is stopped with the rear fog
lights on, they will remain off the next time the
engine is started.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC
SYSTEM
Operation
The Onboard Diagnostic system (OBD) carries out
a continuous diagnosis of the components of the
vehicle related to emissions.
It also alerts the driver of when these
components are no longer in peak condition by
switching on the warning light on the
instrument panel

Ú
page 70.
The aim of the OBD system (Onboard Diagnostic)
is to:
Monitor the efficiency of the system
Indicate an increase in emissions
Indicate the need to replace damaged
components
The vehicle also has a connector, which can
interface with appropriate tools, that makes it
possible to read the error codes stored in the
electronic control units together with a series of
specific parameters for engine operation and
diagnosis. This check can be carried out by an
authorized dealer.

NOTE:
After eliminating a fault, to check the system
completely, an authorized dealer is obliged to run
tests and, if necessary certain road tests.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

170

NOTE:
If the SOS EmergencySOS Emergency Call button
is accidentally 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 Emer-
gency 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 emergency
service operator to determine if additional 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 discon -
nected 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 connection 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 position,
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 malfunction 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 contin -
uously 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.
Even if the SOS Emergency Call system is fully
functional, external or uncontrolled factors may
prevent or stop SOS Emergency Call operation.
These include, but are not limited to, the following
factors:
The key fob has been removed from the
vehicle, and the delayed accessories mode is
active.
The ignition is in OFF position.
The vehicle’s electrical systems are not intact.
The SOS Emergency Call system software and/
or hardware is damaged during a vehicle
collision.
There are network problems that could limit or
impair service operation (e.g., error by
operator, busy network, bad weather, etc.).
If the vehicle battery connection fails due to a
collision or accident, the system can support an
SOS Emergency Call for a limited period of time.
If the battery is disconnected for service, the
system turns off. In this case, it will be possible to
make an SOS Emergency Call only when the
battery is reconnected to the vehicle’s electrical
system.
