HIGHWAY ASSIST SYSTEM
(HAS) — IF EQUIPPED
The Highway Assist System (HAS) is a driving
assistance system that is only available when
driving on highways. The system operates up to
speeds of 90 mph (145 km/h).
The system uses information from the front
camera and radar to help keep the vehicle in the
center of the lane and at a constant speed.
HAS combines Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
functions with lane centering logic to control the
trajectory of the vehicle. HAS requires the driver’s
hands to remain on the steering wheel. Once HAS is activated, a dedicated screen will
appear on the instrument cluster display.

Cable Disconnection
1. Disconnect the negative (-) end of the jumper
cable from the remote negative (-) post of the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
2. Disconnect the opposite end of the negative (-) jumper cable from the negative (-) post of
the booster battery.
3. Disconnect the positive (+) end of the jumper
cable from the positive (+) post of the booster
battery.

4. Disconnect the opposite end of the positive (+)
jumper cable from the remote positive (+) post
of the vehicle with the discharged battery, and
reinstall the protective cap.

If frequent jump starting is required to start your
vehicle, you should have the battery and charging
system inspected at an authorized dealer.
BUMP STARTING
Never jump start the engine by pushing, towing or
coasting downhill.

NOTE:
You cannot start a vehicle with an automatic
transmission by pushing it.
ENGINE OVERHEATING
If your vehicle is overheating, it will need to be
serviced at an authorized dealer.
Engine overheating may occur in situations such
as (but not limited to) extreme environmental
temperatures or frequent engine stops/starts.
If the engine becomes overheated, the Engine
Temperature Warning Light in the instrument
cluster will illuminate along with a dedicated
message

Ú
page 80.
In any of the following situations, you can reduce
the potential for overheating by taking the
appropriate action.
On the highways — slow down.
In city traffic — while stopped, place the
transmission in NEUTRAL, but do not increase
engine idle speed.

NOTE:
There are steps that you can take to slow down an
impending overheat condition:
If your Air Conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off.
The A/C system adds heat to the engine
cooling system and turning the A/C off can
help remove this heat.
You can also turn the temperature control to
maximum heat, the mode control to floor and
the blower control to high. This allows the
heater core to act as a supplement to the
radiator and aids in removing heat from the
engine cooling system.

NOTE:

If the cooling fan does not operate while the
engine is running, the engine temperature will
increase. Stop the engine and contact an
authorized dealer.
If the engine continues to overheat or
frequently overheats, have the cooling system
inspected. The engine could be seriously
damaged unless repairs are made. Contact an
authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle power
outlets draw power from the vehicle’s battery,
even when not in use (i.e., cellular phones,
etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long enough
without engine operation, the vehicle’s battery
will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery
life and/or prevent the engine from starting.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot
engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from your
radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from
under the hood, do not open the hood until
the radiator has had time to cool. Never try to
open a cooling system pressure cap when the
radiator or coolant bottle is hot.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could
damage your vehicle. If temperature gauge
reads “H”, pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle
the vehicle with the air conditioner turned off
until the pointer drops back into the normal
range. If the pointer remains on the “H”, turn
the engine off immediately, and call for
service.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

212

(Continued)
EXHAUST SYSTEM
Adequate maintenance of the engine exhaust
system represents the best protection against
leaks of carbon monoxide into the passenger
compartment.
If an unusual noise from the exhaust or the
presence of smoke in the passenger
compartment is identified, or if the underbody or
rear section of the vehicle have been damaged,
have the entire exhaust system and adjoining
bodywork areas checked at an authorized dealer
to identify any components which are broken,
damaged, worn or have moved from their correct
fitting position.
Open welding or loose connections may permit
exhaust gas to enter the passenger
compartment.
Have the exhaust system checked every time the
vehicle is raised. Replace the components where
necessary (for these operations, contact an
authorized dealer).
In normal operating conditions, the catalytic
converter does not require maintenance. To
ensure that it operates correctly, and prevent it
from getting damaged, it is extremely important
that the engine operates perfectly.
To minimize the risk of damaging the catalytic
converter, proceed as follows:
Do not stop the engine or deactivate the
ignition with gear engaged and vehicle in
motion.
Do not attempt to start the engine by bump
starting.
Do not use the vehicle if irregular idling or
operating conditions are experienced.
COOLING SYSTEM
Coolant Check
Your vehicle has two cooling systems and both
need to be checked to ensure they are at proper
fill levels

Ú
page 204.
Check the engine coolant and intercooler coolant
level every oil change or before long trips.
If there are impurities in the engine coolant, the
system must be drained, flushed and refilled:
contact an authorized dealer.
Check the front part of the condenser for any
build-up of insects, leaves or other debris. Should
it be dirty, clean by spraying delicately with water.
Check the hoses of the engine/intercooler
cooling system to ensure that the rubber has not
deteriorated and that there are no cracks, tears,
cuts or obstructions in the expansion tank side
and radiator side connectors. Should there be
any doubt regarding leaks from the system (e.g. if
frequent top ups are required), have the seal
checked at an authorized dealer.
With the engine off and at normal operating
temperature, check that the cooling system
radiator cap is closed properly.
WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain
Carbon Monoxide (CO), which is colorless
and odorless. Breathing it can make you
unconscious and can eventually poison you.
A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you
park over materials that can burn. Such
materials might be grass or leaves coming
into contact with your exhaust system. Do not
park or operate your vehicle in areas where
your exhaust system can contact anything
that can burn.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot
engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from
your radiator. If you see or hear steam
coming from under the hood, do not open the
hood until the radiator has had time to cool.
Never open a cooling system pressure cap
when the radiator or coolant bottle is hot.
Keep hands, tools, clothing, and jewelry away
from the radiator cooling fan when the hood
is raised. The fan starts automatically and
may start at any time, whether the engine is
running or not.
When working near the radiator cooling fan,
disconnect the fan motor lead or turn the
ignition to the OFF position. The fan is
temperature controlled and can start at any
time the ignition is in the ON position.
WARNING!
Do not open hot engine cooling system.
Never add engine coolant (antifreeze) when
the engine is overheated. Do not loosen or
remove the cap to cool an overheated
engine. Heat causes pressure to build up in
the cooling system. To prevent scalding or
injury, do not remove the pressure cap while
the system is hot or under pressure.

NOTE:
Before removing the coolant reservoir cap, wait
for the system to cool down.
Topping Up / Draining / Flushing The Engine/
Intercooler Coolant
If the engine coolant (antifreeze) is dirty, have
cleaning and flushing carried out at an authorized
dealer.
For the correct servicing intervals

page 200.

NOTE:

For topping off, and proper coolant specifi-
cations
Ú
page 252.
Do not use pure water, alcohol-based coolants,
corrosions inhibitors or additional anti-rust
products because they may be incompatible
with the engine coolant and cause the clogging
of the radiator. The use of propylene
glycol-based coolant is also not recommended.
Use care when filling under hood fluids such as
engine oil, windshield washer fluid, antifreeze
etc. to minimize spillage onto top of engine.
Any excess fluid that is spilled onto the top of
the engine should be removed using
compressed air or absorbent cloth. Engine Cooling/Intercooler System Cap
To prevent loss of engine coolant, make sure that
the expansion tank cap is closed. If it is open,
screw it completely until you reach/hear the click.
Periodically check the cap and clean it from any
foreign bodies that may have deposited on the
external surface.
Disposal of Used Coolant
Disposal of engine/intercooler coolant is subject
to legal requirements. Contact the appropriate
body to determine local regulations.

NOTE:

To prevent the fluid from being ingested by
children or animals, do not keep it in open
containers or pour it on the ground. If ingested,
contact a doctor immediately. Eliminate any
traces of fluid from the ground immediately.
When the vehicle stops after a short trip,
steam may be seen coming out from the front
of the hood. This is a normal phenomenon
which is due to the presence of rain, snow or a
lot of moisture on the surface of the radiator.
With engine and system cold, do not top up
with coolant beyond the maximum level
indicated on the reservoir in the engine
compartment.
BRAKING SYSTEM
In order to guarantee the efficiency of the braking
system, periodically check its components; for
this operation, contact an authorized dealer.
For the correct servicing intervals

Ú
page 200.

NOTE:
Driving with your foot resting on the brake pedal
may compromise its efficiency, increasing the risk
of accidents. When driving, never keep your foot
on the brake pedal and don’t put unnecessary
strain on it to prevent the brakes from over
-
heating. Excess pad wear may cause damage to
the braking system.
When an insufficient oil level is detected,
contact an authorized dealer to have the
system checked.
Always keep the cap of the brake fluid reservoir
(in the engine compartment) completely
closed.
Do not use a pressure cap other than the one
specified for your vehicle. Personal injury or
engine damage may result.
WARNING!
WARNING!
Never add coolant with the engine hot or
overheated.
Do not attempt to cool an overheated engine
by loosening or removing the cap. The heat
causes a considerable increase in pressure
in the cooling system.
To prevent damage to the engine, only use
the engine cooling circuit caps provided.
WARNING!
Use only manufacturer's recommended
brake fluid
Ú
page 252. Using the wrong
type of brake fluid can severely damage your
brake system and/or impair its performance.
The proper type of brake fluid for your vehicle
is also identified on the original factory
installed hydraulic master cylinder reservoir.
