IGNITION SWITCH
KEYLESS PUSH BUTTON IGNITION
This feature allows the driver to operate the
ignition switch with the push of a button as long
as the key fob is in the passenger compartment.
The START/STOP ignition button has several
operating modes. These modes are OFF, ACC,
and ON/RUN.Keyless Ignition START/STOP Button
The push button ignition can be placed in the
following modes:
OFF
The engine is stopped
Steering is locked
Some electrical devices (e.g. central locking,
alarm, etc.) are still available
ACC
Engine is not started
Some electrical devices are available
(e.g. power windows) ON/RUN

The engine will start (when foot is on the brake
pedal)
All electrical devices are available (e.g. climate
controls, etc.)
If the ignition switch does not change the mode
by pushing the button, the key fob may have a low
or depleted battery. In this situation, a backup
method can be used to operate the ignition
switch. Proceed as follows:
1. Lift the front armrest.
2. Lay the key fob on the indicated spot in the bottom of the center console, positioning the
key fob as shown in the following image,
while pushing the START/STOP ignition
button to start the ignition.
Key Fob Placement Location

NOTE:

For more information on proper engine
starting procedures, see
Ú
page 86.
With the keyless ignition in the ACC position, if
30 minutes pass with the gear selector in
PARK and the engine stopped, the keyless
ignition will automatically reset to the OFF
position.

When opening the driver's door with the ignition
in the ACC position (engine not running), a
chime will sound to remind you to place the
ignition in the OFF position. In addition to the
chime, the message will display “Ignition Or
Accessory On” in the cluster


Úpage 259.

WARNING!

When exiting the vehicle, always make sure
the ignition is in the OFF position, remove the
key fob from the vehicle, and lock your vehicle.

Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle
unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously
or fatally injured. Children should be warned
not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal
or the gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children, and do not leave the Keyless Push
Button Ignition in the ON/RUN position. A
child could operate power windows, other
controls, or move the vehicle.
Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat
buildup may cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
An unlocked vehicle is an invitation for thieves.
Always remove key fob from the vehicle and
lock all doors when leaving the vehicle
unattended.

center console and will function the
same as the front heated seat controls.Rear Heated Seat Buttons

To preserve the battery charge, this function
cannot be activated when the engine is off.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of
injury by restricting head movement in the event
of a rear impact. Head restraints should be
adjusted so that the top of the head restraint is
located above the top of your ear.
Front Head Restraints

NOTE:
For Quadrifoglio vehicles equipped with Sparco
Racing Seats, the head restraints are not adjust -
able or removable. The front head restraints may be
height-adjustable.
To raise the head restraint, pull up on the head
restraint until it clicks into place.
To lower the head restraint, push in the
adjustment button and lower the head restraint
to the desired height while holding the button.
Then, release the adjustment button.
Front Head Restraint

NOTE:
To allow for maximum visibility for the driver,
if a seat is not occupied by a passenger, the
head restraint can be lowered to the fully
lowered position.
WARNING!
A loose head restraint thrown forward in a
collision or hard stop could cause serious
injury or death to occupants of the vehicle.
Always securely stow removed head
restraints in a location outside the occupant
compartment.
ALL the head restraints MUST be reinstalled
in the vehicle to properly protect the
occupants. Follow the reinstallation
instructions prior to operating the vehicle or
occupying a seat.
WARNING!
All occupants, including the driver, should
not operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat
until the head restraints are placed in their
proper positions in order to minimize the risk
of neck injury in the event of a crash.
Head restraints should never be adjusted
while the vehicle is in motion. Driving a
vehicle with the head restraints improperly
adjusted or removed could cause serious
injury or death in the event of a collision.

UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR
OPENER (HOMELINK®)
HomeLink® Buttons
Use this QR code to access your
digital experience.
HomeLink® replaces up to
three hand-held transmitters
that operate devices such as
garage door openers,
motorized gates, lighting, or
home security systems. The HomeLink® unit is
powered by your vehicle’s 12 Volt battery.
The HomeLink® buttons that are located in
the overhead console or sunvisor designate
the three different HomeLink® channels.
To operate HomeLink®, push and release any
of the programmed HomeLink® buttons.
These buttons will activate the devices they
are programmed to with each press of the
corresponding HomeLink® button.
The HomeLink® indicator light is located
above the center button.

NOTE:
HomeLink® is disabled when the Vehicle Security
system is active
Ú
page 259.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN PROGRAMMING
H
OMELINK®
For efficient programming and accurate
transmission of the Radio Frequency (RF) signal,
it is recommended that a new battery be placed
in the hand-held transmitter of the device that is
being programmed to the HomeLink® system.
Make sure your hand-held transmitter is
programmed to activate the device you are trying
to program your HomeLink® button to.
Ensure that your vehicle is parked outside of the
garage before you begin programming.
It is recommended that you erase all the
channels of your HomeLink® before you use it for
the first time.
If you require assistance, please call toll-free
1-800-355-3515 or visit

HomeLink.com

ERASING ALL THE HOMELINK®
C
HANNELS
To erase the channels, follow this procedure:
1. Place the ignition switch in the ON/RUN posi -
tion. 2. Push and hold the two outside HomeLink®
buttons (I and III) for up to 20 seconds, or
until the HomeLink® indicator light flashes.

NOTE:
Erasing all channels should only be performed
when programming HomeLink® for the first time.
Do not erase channels when programming addi -
tional buttons.
IDENTIFYING WHETHER YOU HAVE A
R
OLLING CODE OR NON-ROLLING CODE
D
EVICE
Before programming a device to one of your
HomeLink® buttons, you must determine
whether the device has a rolling code or
non-rolling code.
Rolling Code Devices
To determine if your device has a rolling code, a
good indicator is its manufacturing date.
Typically, devices manufactured after 1995 have
rolling codes. A device with a rolling code will also
have a “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button located where
the antenna is attached to the device. The button
may not be immediately visible when looking at
the device. The name and color of the button may
vary slightly by manufacturer.

NOTE:
The “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button is not the button
you normally use to operate the device.
Non-rolling Code Devices
Most devices manufactured before 1995 will not
have a rolling code. These devices will also not
have a “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button.

When all doors are closed after entering the
vehicle, the three-minute timer will stop and a
seconds timer will start for the interior lights.
This timing will stop when the ignition is placed
in the ON/RUN position.
When doors are locked (either with key fob or
with key inserted on driver side door), the
overhead light turns off.
The interior lights will turn off after 15 minutes
to preserve the battery.
Timing While Getting Out Of The Vehicle — After
placing the ignition in the OFF position, the
overhead lights will turn on as follows:
For a few seconds after the engine stops.

Qi is a standard that uses magnetic induction to
transfer power to your mobile device.
Your mobile phone must be designed for
Qi wireless charging.

NOTE:

Do not place the key fob or any other type of
metal/magnetized object inside the mobile
phone housing or near the wireless charging
pad.
Be sure to place the mobile device correctly
(display facing upward) on the wireless
charging pad.
The ignition must be in the ON/RUN position in
order for the phone to charge.
To avoid interference with the key fob search,
the wireless charging pad will stop charging
when any door is opened.
The following messages will display in the radio
system:
“Your phone is being charged” — The phone
has begun to charge.
“Phone Fully Charged” — The phone has
completed charging its battery.
“Foreign Object Detected” — The phone is not
