READ THIS CAREFULLY

Warnings And Cautions

While reading this Owner’s Manual you will find a series of WARNINGS that must be carefully followed.

WARNINGS are statements against operating procedures that could result in a collision, bodily injury and/or death.

While reading this Owner's Manual, you will also find a series of CAUTIONS that must also be followed.

WARNINGS and CAUTIONS are called out in the text of this manual with the following symbols:

WARNINGS that could result in a collision, bodily injury and/or death if disregarded.

CAUTIONS that could result in vehicle damage if disregarded.

NOTE:

This Owner’s Manual describes all versions of this vehicle. Optional equipment meant for specific markets or particular trim levels, engines and versions of this vehcile are not always identified in the text. Therefor should only consider the information related to the trim level, engine, and version of the vehcile you have aquired. Any content in this manual that may apply to optional equipment which may or may not be applicable to your vehicle will be identified by the indicator: “If Equipped”.The data contained in this publication is intended to help you use your vehicle in the best possible way. Alfa Romeo and FCA US LLC aim for constant improvement of their vehicles. For this reason, they reserve the right to make changes to the model described for technical and/ or commercial reasons.For further information, contact an authorized dealer.

Respecting The Environment

The vehicle is fitted with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the environment (if equipped).

Rollover Warning

Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other types of vehicles. This vehicle has a higher ground clearance and a higher center of gravity than many passenger vehicles. It is capable of performing better in a wide variety of off-road applications. Driven in an unsafe manner, all vehicles can go out of control. Because of the higher center of gravity, if this vehicle is out of control it may roll over while some other vehicles may not.

Do not attempt sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers, or other unsafe driving actions that can cause loss of vehicle control. Failure to operate this vehicle safely may result in a collision, rollover of the vehicle, and severe or fatal injury. Drive carefully.

Rollover Warning Label

Failure to use the driver and passenger seat belts provided is a major cause of severe or fatal injury. In fact, the US government notes that the universal use of existing seat belts could cut the highway death toll by 10,000 or more each year and could reduce disabling injuries by two million annually. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. Always buckle up.

VEHICLE CHANGES / ALTERATIONS

Accessories Purchased By The Owner

WARNING!

Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road handling, thus causing accidents, in which the occupants could even be fatally injured.

If you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electrical supply (e.g. radio, satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or accessories that in any case drain the electrical supply after purchasing the vehicle, contact an authorized dealer. Dealer personnel will check whether the vehicle's electrical system is able to withstand the load required or whether it needs to be integrated with a more powerful battery.

NOTE:

Use caution when adding additional spoilers, alloy wheel rims, or non-standard wheel hubs: they could reduce the ventilation of the brakes and affect efficiency under sharp and repeated braking, or on long descents. Make sure that nothing obstructs the pedals (mats, etc.).

FCA US LLC shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by FCA US LLC and/or not installed in compliance with the provided instructions.

Installing Electrical/Electronic Devices

FCA US LLC authorizes the installation of transceivers provided that installation is carried out at a specialized center, in compliance with manufacturer's specifications.

NOTE:

Local authorities may not allow the vehicle on the road if devices that modify the features of the vehicle have been installed. This also may void the warranty in relation to faults caused by the change either directly or indirectly related to it.

FCA US LLC shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by FCA US LLC and/or not installed in compliance with the provided instructions.

Radio Transmitters And Mobile Phones

Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB [Citizen Band] radios, amateur radio, etc.) cannot be used inside the vehicle unless a separate antenna is mounted externally.

Transmission and reception of these devices may be affected by the shielding effect of the vehicle body. As far as the use of approved mobile phones is concerned, follow the usage instructions provided by the mobile phone manufacturer.

CAUTION!

 The use of these devices inside the passenger compartment (without an external antenna) may cause the electrical systems to malfunction. This could

compromise the safety of the vehicle in addition to constituting a potential hazard for passengers' health.

 If mobile phones/laptops/smartphones/tablets are inside the vehicle and/or close to the electronic key, a reduced performance of the Passive Entry/

Keyless Start system may occur may occur.

In this section, you will find important information to help you become familiar with the features needed to operate your vehicle, and how they function.

KEYS

KEY FOB

Your vehicle is equipped with a key fob which supports Passive Entry, Remote Keyless Entry (RKE), Remote Start (if equipped), and remote trunk operation. The key fob allows you to lock or unlock the doors and trunk lid. The key fob does not need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate the system. The key fob also contains an emergency key, which is stored inside the key fob.

NOTE:

 The key fob’s wireless signal may be blocked if

the key fob is located next to a mobile phone, laptop, or other electronic device. This may result in poor performance.

 With ignition in the ON position and the vehicle

moving at 2 mph (4 km/h), all RKE commands are disabled.

Key Fob

In case the ignition switch does not change with the push of a button, the key fob may have a low or fully depleted battery. A low key fob battery can be verified by referring to the instrument cluster, which will display directions to follow

page 239.

To Lock/Unlock The Doors And Trunk

Push and release the unlock button on the key fob once to unlock the driver’s door, or twice within five seconds to unlock all the doors and the trunk lid. To lock all the doors and the trunk lid, push the lock button once. If the trunk lid is open when the lock button is pushed, the trunk lid will lock when it is closed.

The current unlock setting can be changed through the radio system menu, so that the system unlocks:

 All doors on the first push of the key fob unlock

button.

 The driver door on the first push of the key fob

unlock button.

When the doors are locked/unlocked, the turn signals will flash and the illuminated entry system will be activated.

NOTE:

If one or more doors are open when the lock button is pushed, or the trunk lid is open, the doors will lock. The doors will unlock again automatically if the key is left inside the passenger compartment, otherwise the doors will stay locked.

Flashing of the turn signals upon locking/ unlocking the doors and activation of the courtesy light upon unlocking the doors can be activated or deactivated through the radio system. For further information, refer to the Information and Entertainment System Owner’s Manual Supplement.

Trunk Lid Opening

Rapidly push the trunk lid key fob button twice to open the trunk lid. The turn signals will flash to indicate that the trunk lid has been opened.

Locking/Unlocking Doors From The Outside In An Emergency

Page 23

Proceed in reverse order to reassemble the key fob.

WARNING!

 The integrated key fob contains a coin cell

battery. Do not ingest the battery; there is a chemical burn hazard. If the coin cell battery is swallowed, it can cause severe internal burns in just two hours and can lead to death.

 If you think a battery may have been

swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention.

 Keep new and used batteries away from

children. If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product and keep it away from children.

CAUTION!

The battery replacement operation must be done with care, in order not to damage the key fob.

Programming And Requesting Additional Key Fobs

Programming the key fob may be performed by an authorized dealer.

NOTE:

 Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it

cannot be repurposed and reprogrammed to another vehicle.

 Only key fobs that are programmed to the

vehicle electronics can be used to start and operate the vehicle.

WARNING!

 Always remove the key fobs from the vehicle

and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.

 Always remember to place the ignition in the

OFF position.

Duplication of key fobs may be performed at an authorized dealer. This procedure consists of programming a blank key fob to the vehicle electronics. A blank key fob is one that has never been programmed.

NOTE:

 When having the Engine Immobilizer system

serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to an authorized dealer.

 Keys must be ordered to the correct key cut to

match the vehicle locks.

 For Quadrifoglio models, if you need a

replacement key fob, contact an authorized dealer.

ENGINE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM

The Engine Immobilizer system prevents unauthorized vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The system does not need to be armed or activated. Operation is automatic, regardless of whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.

The system uses a key fob, keyless push button ignition and a Radio Frequency (RF) receiver to prevent unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore, only key fobs that are programmed to

the vehicle can be used to start and operate the vehicle. The system will shut the engine off in two seconds if an invalid key fob is used to start the engine.

After placing the ignition switch in the ON/RUN position, the Vehicle Security Light will turn on for three seconds for a bulb check. If the light remains on after the bulb check, it indicates that there is a problem with the electronics. In addition, if the light begins to flash after the bulb check, it indicates that someone used an invalid key fob to start the engine. Either of these conditions will result in the engine being shut off after two seconds.

If the Vehicle Security Light turns on during normal vehicle operation (vehicle running for longer than 10 seconds), it indicates that there is a fault in the electronics. Should this occur, have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible by an authorized dealer.

CAUTION!

The Engine Immobilizer system is not compatible with some aftermarket Remote Start systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting problems and loss of security protection.

All of the key fobs provided with your new vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle electronics.

NOTE:

A key fob that has not been programmed is also considered an invalid key

page 239.

IDENTIFYING WHETHER YOU HAVE A

OLLING CODE OR NON-ROLLING CODE

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.

PROGRAMMING HOMELINK® TO A

ARAGE DOOR OPENER

To program any of the HomeLink® buttons to activate your garage door opener motor, proceed as follows:

NOTE:

All HomeLink® buttons are programmed using this procedure. You do not need to erase all channels when programming additional buttons.

1. Place the ignition switch in the ON/RUN posi-

tion.

2. Place the garage door opener transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink® button you wish to program, while keeping the HomeLink® indicator light in view.

CAUTION!

The system uses R1234yf refrigerant, which does not pollute the environment in the event of accidental leakage. Under no circumstances, use R134a and R12 fluids, which are incompatible with the components of this system.

Description

The Automatic Dual Zone Climate Control System adjusts the temperature and air distribution independently between the driver and passenger.

The system maintains the set temperature inside the passenger compartment and compensates for outside temperature change.

NOTE:

The reference temperature is 72°F (22°C) for optimal comfort management.

The automatic setting will adjust the following to maintain comfort within the passenger compartment:

 Air temperature from the driver/front

passenger side vents

 Air distribution from the driver/front passenger

side vents

 Fan speed (continuous variation of the air flow)  Compressor variations (for cooling/dehumid-

ifying the air)

 Air recirculation

The Climate Control system can also be operated manually by using the buttons and knobs on the faceplate.

Manual selections will override the automatic settings, which are stored until the AUTO button is pushed. If the system intervenes for safety reasons, the automatic setting will take control of the system.

The following operations will not deactivate the automatic (AUTO) function:

 Air Recirculation activation/deactivation

 A/C activation/deactivation

 SYNC function activation

 Rear Window Defrost activation/deactivation

When in AUTO mode, the vehicle’s internal temperature is controlled according to the set temperature.

The following can be manually set or adjusted:

 Driver/passenger air temperature

 Blower speed (continuous variation)

 Air distribution (seven positions for driver and

passenger)

 A/C activation

 Front Defrost

 Air recirculation

 Rear Defrost

 System deactivation

A/C Compressor

Push the A/C button or the icon to activate or deactivate the A/C compressor (indicator illuminated when activated). The A/C compressor will remain off even after the engine has stopped.

When the A/C compressor is turned off, the system deactivates air recirculation to prevent the windows from fogging up. If the climate control system can maintain the temperature, with the A/C turned off, the AUTO feature will remain on and the AUTO button indicator light will not switch off.

To restore automatic control of the A/C compressor, push the A/C button or the AUTO button. With the A/C compressor off, the air speed can be set manually using the Air Speed Adjustment Knob.

When the A/C compressor is on, and the engine is running, air speed cannot be lower than the minimum speed (only one indicator light is lit).

NOTE:

When the A/C is off, the Climate Control system can not produce air that is colder than the current outside temperature. Under certain environmental conditions, windows could fog up rapidly, since the air is not dehumidified.

Page 54

Air Recirculation And Air Quality System (AQS)

Air Recirculation is managed according to the following operating mode:

 Automatic engagement: indicator is

illuminated above the “A” on the Air Recirculation Button

 Forced activation (air circulation always

activated): indicator illuminated above the icon on the Air Recirculation Button

 Forced deactivation (air recirculation always

off with intake of outside air): both indicators not illuminated on the Air Recirculation Button

The three operating conditions are obtained by pushing the Air Recirculation Button in sequence.

Enabling The Air Quality System (AQS) Function — If Equipped

When the automatic recirculation function is selected, the AQS function automatically activates internal air recirculation when the outside air is polluted (e.g. in heavy traffic and tunnels).

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

the automatic function turns off to avoid fogging up the windows. The user can select the function again by pushing the Air Recirculation Button.

In automatic operation, air recirculation will be controlled by the system according to outside environmental conditions.

NOTE:

 With the AQS function active and after the

internal air recirculation system has been functioning for a set amount of time, the Climate Control System enables air intake to cycle the air in the passenger compartment for a set time. The AQS function is disabled during the air changes.

 The engagement of the recirculation system

makes it possible to reach the required heating or cooling conditions faster. It is, however, inadvisable to use it on rainy/cold days as it can increase the possibility of the windows fogging. When the outside temperature is low, recirculation is forced off to prevent the windows from fogging up.

Front Defrost

Air comes from the windshield and side window demist outlets. Use Defrost mode with maximum temperature settings for best windshield and side

window defrosting and defogging.

Rear Defrost

Push the Rear Defrost button to activate (indicator illuminated) the Rear Defrost.

The Rear Defrost will turn off after 20 minutes or once the engine is turned off.

Push the Air Distribution Selection button on the faceplate to change the mode of air distribution.

NOTE:

In AUTO mode, the Climate Controls automatically manage the air distribution. When set manually, the respective symbols on the radio system indicate the air distribution setting.

Panel Mode

Air comes from the outlets in the instrument panel to ventilate the chest and face. Each of these outlets can be

individually adjusted to direct the flow of air. The air vanes of the center outlets and outboard outlets can be moved up and down or side to side to regulate airflow direction. There is a shut-off wheel located below the air vanes to shut off or adjust the amount of airflow from these outlets.

Bi-Level Mode

Air comes from the instrument panel

outlets and floor outlets. A slight

amount of air is directed through the

defrost and side window demister outlets.

NOTE:

Bi-Level mode is designed under comfort conditions to provide cooler air out of the panel outlets and warmer air from the floor outlets.

Page 56

Floor Mode

Air comes from the floor outlets. A slight amount of air is directed through the defrost and side window demister outlets. This setting heats the

passenger compartment the quickest.

Mix Mode

Air is directed through the floor, defrost, and side window demister outlets. This setting works best in cold or snowy

conditions that require extra heat to the windshield. This setting is good for maintaining comfort while reducing moisture on the windshield.

Front Defrost And Panel Mode

Air flow is distributed between the

windshield demisting/defrosting vents

and side/central dashboard vents. This

setting allows air to flow to the windshield on sunny days.

Front Defrost And Bi-Level Mode

Air flow is distributed to all vents.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Switching The Climate Control System On/Off

To Turn Off The Climate Control System

Rotate the Air Speed Adjustment Knob completely counterclockwise to turn off the Climate Control system.

When the air conditioner is off:

 Air recirculation is on

 The A/C compressor is off

To Turn On The Climate Control System

To switch the climate control system on in automatic mode, push the AUTO button.

Operating Mode

The Climate Control system can be activated in different ways. It is recommended to use the automatic function. Push the AUTO button and set the desired temperatures.

The automatic system adjusts the temperature, quantity, and distribution of air introduced into the passenger compartment. It also controls air recirculation and the activation of the air conditioner.

At any time during automatic operation, you can change the temperature, activate or deactivate the Rear Defrost, activate SYNC, activate or deactivate the air conditioner, and activate or deactivate air recirculation. The system will automatically adjust to the new settings.

Climate Control Display Settings

The Climate Control settings are visible on the radio screen.

The display on the radio system is a pop up window, which is activated by pushing the buttons or turning the knobs on the Climate Control system. The indicator lights located on

the number of buttons and knobs indicate that the selected feature is on/off. If no operation is performed for a predetermined time, the pop-up will close on the display.

Humidity Sensor

The Humidity Sensor helps prevent the windows from fogging up. The AUTO function (indicator illuminated) must be on for the Humidity Sensor to function.

When outside temperature is low, the system may turn the compressor on and turn air recirculation off for safer driving.

Stop/Start

The Stop/Start system shuts off the engine when the vehicle speed is 0 mph (0 km/h), as a fuel conservation measure.

In order to maintain comfort in the cabin, the Stop/Start feature will not activate if any of the following conditions exist:

 The climate control system is in AUTO mode

(indicator illuminated), and the vehicle has yet to reach the set temperature

 The climate control system is in LO maximum

cooling

 The climate control system is in HI maximum

heating

 The climate control system is in the MAX-DEF

status

When the Stop/Start system is active, the engine will restart if the inside temperature changes significantly, or if the LO setting, or MAX-DEF setting, is activated.

Page 57

With the Stop/Start system on (engine is off), air flow is reduced to keep the compartment comfort conditions for longer.

Until the temperature drastically changes within the cabin, the climate control system will continue to maintain the temperature while the engine is off. By deactivating the Stop/Start

system with the button (located by the headlight switch), the climate control system operates normally according to the settings.

NOTE:

 In harsh climate conditions, limit the use of the

Stop/Start system to prevent the compressor from continuously switching on and off. This will prevent rapid misting of the windows and the accumulation of humidity in the passenger compartment.

 When the Stop/Start system is on, the climate

control system will always take air in from outside, reducing the probability of the windows fogging up.

System Maintenance

In winter months, the Climate Control system must be turned on at least once a month for approximately ten minutes.

Have the system inspected at an authorized dealer before the summer.

You can stop the warning cycle in both cases by pushing the button located on the windshield wiper stalk. The instrument panel warning light will stay on until the cause of the failure is eliminated.

Page 73

RED WARNING LIGHTS

Air Bag Warning Light

This warning light will illuminate to indicate a fault with the air bag, and will turn on for four to eight seconds as a

bulb check when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/RUN position. This light will illuminate with a single chime when a fault with the air bag has been detected, it will stay on until the fault is cleared. If the light is either not on during startup, stays on, or turns on while driving, have the system inspected at an authorized dealer as soon as possible.

Brake Warning Light

This warning light monitors various

brake functions, including brake fluid

level and parking brake application. If

the brake light turns on it may indicate that the parking brake is applied, that the brake fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with the Anti-Lock Brake System reservoir.

If the light remains on when the parking brake has been disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic system malfunction or that a problem with the Brake Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) / Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. In this case, the light will remain on until the condition has been corrected. If the problem is related to the brake booster, the ABS pump will run when applying the brake, and a brake pedal pulsation may be felt during each stop.

The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capacity in the event of a failure to a portion of the hydraulic system. A leak in either half of the dual brake system is indicated by the Brake Warning Light, which will turn on when the brake fluid level in the master cylinder has dropped below a specified level.

The light will remain on until the cause is corrected.

NOTE:

The light may flash momentarily during sharp cornering maneuvers, which change fluid level conditions. The vehicle should have service performed, and the brake fluid level checked.

If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is necessary.

WARNING!

 If the warning light does not turn on when the

ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position or if it stays on when driving (together with the message on the display), there might be a malfunction in the restraint systems; This could mean the air bags or pretensioners may not deploy in the event of an accident or, they could deploy erroneously. This could result in serious injuries or death. Have the vehicle checked by qualified technician immediately.

 Driving a vehicle with a red brake warning

light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system may have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle in such circumstances. This could result in a collision and serious injuries or death. Have the vehicle checked by a qualified technician immediately.

Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) are also equipped with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD). In the event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning Light will turn on along with the ABS Light. Immediate repair to the ABS system is required.

Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked by turning the ignition switch from the OFF position to the ON/RUN position. The light should illuminate for approximately two seconds. The light should then turn off unless the parking brake is applied or a brake fault is detected. If the light does not illuminate, have the light inspected by an authorized dealer.

The light also will turn on when the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch in the ON/RUN position.

NOTE:

This light shows only that the parking brake is applied. It does not show the degree of brake application.

Driving a vehicle with a red brake warning light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system may have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle in such circumstances. This could result in a collision and serious injuries or death. Have the vehicle checked by a qualified technician immediately.

Oil Temperature Warning Light

This warning light indicates engine oil temperature is high.

Stop the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. If the problem persists, contact an authorized dealer.

AMBER WARNING LIGHTS

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Warning Light

This light monitors the ABS. The light will turn on when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position and may stay on for as long as four seconds.

If the ABS light remains on or turns on while driving, then the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system is not functioning and service is required. However, the conventional brake system will continue to operate normally if the red BRAKE warning light is not on.

If the ABS light is on, the brake system should be serviced as soon as possible to restore the benefits of Anti-Lock Brakes. If the ABS light does not turn on when the ignition is placed in the ON/ RUN position, have the light inspected by an authorized dealer.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Indicator Light — If Equipped

When the ignition is cycled to ON, the indicator light illuminates, but should turn off as soon as the engine is started.

ESC System Intervention: Intervention by the system is indicated by the flashing of the indicator light: it indicates that the vehicle is in critical stability and grip conditions.

ESC System Failure: If the indicator light does not turn off, or if it stays on with the engine running, a failure was found in the ESC system.

Hill Start Assist System Failure: The illumination of the indicator light indicates a Hill Start Assist system failure.

In these cases, contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) OFF Indicator Light — If Equipped

When the ignition is cycled to ON, the indicator light illuminates, but should turn off as soon as the engine is started.

recommended value and/or that slow

CAUTION!

Do not continue driving with one or more flat tires as handling may be compromised. Stop the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering. If a tire puncture occurs, repair immediately using the dedicated tire repair kit and contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire

inflation pressure label. If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a TPMS that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly underinflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly underinflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if underinflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the

vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

WARNING!

The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. Using aftermarket tire sealants may cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor to become inoperable. After using an aftermarket tire sealant it is recommended that you take your vehicle to an authorized dealership to have your sensor function checked.

Rear Fog Lights

The indicator illuminates when the rear fog light is activated.

Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)

In normal conditions, when the ignition is cycled to ON, the indicator light illuminates, but it should turn off as soon as the engine is started.

Page 76

The operation of the indicator light may be checked by the traffic police using specific devices. Comply with the laws and regulations of the country where you are driving.

Under these conditions, the vehicle can continue traveling at moderate speed but without demanding excessive effort from the engine or high speed. Prolonged use of the vehicle with the indicator light on constantly may cause damage. Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.

CAUTION!

If, turning the ignition device to ON, the warning

light does not turn on or if it turns on steadily

or flashing while driving (on some versions together with the message on the display), immediate service is required. Prolonged driving with the MIL on could cause damage to the vehicle.

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

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.

page 70.

Page 82

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (OBD II)

YBERSECURITY

Your vehicle is required to have OBD II and a connection port to allow access to information related to the performance of your emissions controls. Authorized service technicians may need to access this information to assist with the diagnosis and service of your vehicle and emissions system.

WARNING!

 ONLY an authorized service technician

should connect equipment to the OBD II connection port in order to read the VIN, diagnose, or service your vehicle.

 If unauthorized equipment is connected to

the OBD II connection port, such as a driver-behavior tracking device, it may:

• Be possible that vehicle systems,

including safety related systems, could be impaired or a loss of vehicle control could occur that may result in an accident involving serious injury or death.

• Access, or allow others to access, information stored in your vehicle systems, including personal information.

EMISSIONS INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS

In some localities, it may be a legal requirement to pass an inspection of your vehicle's emissions control system. Failure to pass could prevent vehicle registration.

For states that require an Inspection and Maintenance (I/M), this check verifies the Malfunction Indicator Light

(MIL) is functioning and is not on when the engine is running, and that the OBD II system is ready for testing.

Normally, the OBD II system will be ready. The OBD II system may not be ready if your vehicle was recently serviced, recently had a depleted battery or a battery replacement. If the OBD II system should be determined not ready for the I/M test, your vehicle may fail the test.

Your vehicle has a simple ignition actuated test, which you can use prior to going to the test station. To check if your vehicle's OBD II system is ready, you must do the following:

1. Cycle the ignition switch to the ON position,

but do not crank or start the engine.

NOTE:

If you crank or start the engine, you will have to start this test over.

2. As soon as you cycle the ignition switch to the

ON position, you will see the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) symbol come on as part of a normal bulb check.

3. Approximately 15 seconds later, one of two things will happen:

• The MIL will flash for about 10 seconds

and then return to being fully illuminated until you turn OFF the ignition or start the engine. This means that your vehicle's OBD II system is not ready and you should not proceed to the I/M station.

• The MIL will not flash at all and will remain fully illuminated until you

he off position or start the engine. This

in t means that your vehicle's OBD II system is ready and you can proceed to the I/M station.

If your OBD II system is not ready, you should see an authorized dealer or repair facility. If your vehicle was recently serviced or had a battery failure or replacement, you may need to do nothing more than drive your vehicle as you normally would in order for your OBD II system to update. A recheck with the above test routine may then indicate that the system is now ready.

Regardless of whether your vehicle's OBD II system is ready or not, if the MIL is illuminated during normal vehicle operation you should have your vehicle serviced before going to the I/M station. The I/M station can fail your vehicle because the MIL is on with the engine running.

With the keyless ignition system, it is possible to leave the vehicle taking the key fob with you without the engine switching off. The vehicle will inform the absence of the key on board, only if the doors are closed.

After stopping the engine (cycling from the ACC to the OFF position), the accessories are still powered for about three minutes, or until a door is opened.

When the ignition is in the OFF position, the window switches remain active for three minutes. Opening a front door will cancel this function.

After severe driving, idle the engine to allow the temperature inside the engine compartment to cool before shutting off the engine.

TURBOCHARGER COOL DOWN

It is recommended before switching the vehicle off, to keep the engine idling for a few minutes so that the turbocharger can be suitably lubricated. This procedure is particularly recommended after severe driving.

After a full load operation, keep the engine idling for three to five minutes before switching it off.

This time allows the lubricating oil and the engine coolant to eliminate the excessive heat from combustion chamber, bearings, inner components and turbocharger.

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER — IF EQUIPPED

The engine block heater warms the engine and permits quicker starts in cold weather.

Connect the cord to a 110-115 Volt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, three-wire extension cord.

For ambient temperatures below 0°F (-18°C), the engine block heater is recommended. For ambient temperatures below -20°F (-29°C), the engine block heater is required.

See the following steps to properly use the engine block heater:

1. Locate the engine block heater cord (access door on the passenger side wiper cowl).

2. Pull the cord to the front of the vehicle and plug it into a grounded, three-wire extension cord.

3. After the vehicle is running, properly stow away behind access door on the passenger side wiper cowl.

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS

ENGINE BREAK-IN

For both engines, use the following engine break-in recommendations:

NOTE:

A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in period and not interpreted as an indication of a problem. Please monitor your oil level during the break-in period and add oil as required.

It is recommended for the operator to observe the following driving behaviors during the new vehicle break-in period:

0 to 100 miles (0 to 160 km):

STARTING AND OPERATING

 Do not allow the engine to operate at idle for

an extended period of time.

 Press the accelerator pedal slowly and not

more than halfway to avoid rapid acceleration.

 Avoid aggressive braking.

 Drive with the engine speed less than

3,500 RPM.

 Maintain vehicle speed below 55 mph

(88 km/h) and observe local speed limits.

100 to 300 miles (160 to 483 km):

 Press the accelerator pedal slowly and not

more than halfway to avoid rapid acceleration in lower gears (FIRST to THIRD gears).

 Avoid aggressive braking.

 Drive with the engine speed less than

5,000 RPM.

 Maintain vehicle speed below 70 mph

(112 km/h) and observe local speed limits.

300 to 500 miles (483 to 805 km):

 Exercise the full engine RPM range, shifting

manually (paddles or gear shift) at higher RPM when possible.

 Do not perform sustained operation with the

accelerator pedal at wide open throttle.

 Maintain vehicle speed below 85 mph

(136 km/h) and observe local speed limits.

For the first 1,500 miles (2,414 km):

 Do not participate in track events, sport driving

schools, or similar activities during the first 1,500 miles (2,414 km).

NOTE:

Monitor engine oil with every refueling and add if necessary. Oil and fuel consumption may be higher through the first oil change interval.

ELECTRIC PARK BRAKE (EPB)

The EPB features a switch located on the center console, a caliper with motor for each rear wheel, and an electronic control module.

Electric Park Brake Switch

The EPB can be engaged in two ways:

 Manually, by pulling the switch on the center

console.

 Automatically, in “Safe Hold” or “Auto Park

Brake” conditions.

NOTE:

Normally, the EPB is engaged automatically when the engine is stopped. This function can be deactivated/activated on the Information and Entertainment system by selecting the following items in sequence on the main menu: “Settings”, “Driver Assistance” and “Automatic Parking Brake”.

Page 87

In addition to engaging the EPB, along with steering and positioning chocks in front of the wheels (when on a steep slope), you must always place the vehicle in the PARK (P) mode before leaving.

Should the vehicle battery be faulty, the battery must be replaced in order to unlock the EPB.

Engaging The EPB Manually

Briefly pull the switch located on the center console to manually engage the EPB when the vehicle is stationary.

Noise may be heard from the rear of the vehicle when engaging the EPB.

A slight movement of the brake pedal may be detected when engaging the EPB with the brake pedal pressed.

With the EPB engaged, the Brake Warning Light on the instrument panel and the switch will illuminate.

CAUTION!

With the EPB failure warning light on, some functions of the EPB are deactivated. In this case the driver is responsible for engaging the EPB manually to ensure the vehicle is safely and properly parked.

If, under exceptional circumstances, the use of the brake is required with the vehicle in motion, keep the switch on the center console pulled as long as the brake action is necessary.

The Brake Warning Light may turn on with the hydraulic system temporarily unavailable; in this case braking is controlled by the motors.

The brake lights will also automatically turn on in the same way as for normal braking with the use of the brake pedal.

Release the switch on the center console to stop the braking action with the vehicle in motion.

If, through this procedure, the vehicle is braked until a speed below 1.9 mph (3 km/h) is reached and the switch is kept pulled, the parking brake will definitively engage.

WARNING!

Driving the vehicle with the parking brake engaged, or repeated use of the parking brake to slow the vehicle may cause serious damage to the brake system. Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged before driving; failure to do so can lead to brake failure and a collision.

Disengaging The EPB Manually

In order to manually release the parking brake, the ignition should be in the ACC position. Press the brake pedal, and then push the switch on the center console briefly.

Noise may be heard from the rear of the vehicle, and a slight movement of the brake pedal may be detected during disengagement.

After disengaging the Electric Park Brake, the Brake Warning Light on the instrument panel and the light on the switch will turn off.

If the Brake Warning Light on the instrument panel remains on with the EPB disengaged, this indicates a fault: in this case, contact an authorized dealer.

WARNING!

 Never use the PARK position as a substitute

for the parking brake. Always apply the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage.

 When exiting the vehicle, always turn the

ignition OFF, secure the key fob, 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 a vehicle equipped with a keyless ignition system in the ON/RUN position. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.

 Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged

before driving; failure to do so can lead to brake failure and a collision.

 Always fully apply the parking brake when

leaving your vehicle, or it may roll and cause damage or injury. Also be certain to leave the transmission in PARK. Failure to do so may allow the vehicle to roll and cause damage or injury.

 “Drive Away Release”: the EPB will automat-

ically disengage with the driver side seat belt fastened and the detection of an action performed by the driver to move the vehicle (forward gear or reverse gear). This feature can be turned on or off in the Information and Entertainment System.

STARTING AND OPERATING

 “Safe Hold”: engages if the gear selector is not

in PARK (P) position and the driver's intention of leaving the vehicle is detected. The EPB will automatically engage the EPB.

SAFE HOLD

Safe Hold is a safety function that automatically engages the EPB if the driver attempts to leave the vehicle while the ignition is in ON/RUN.

The EPB engages automatically to prevent vehicle movement if:

 The vehicle speed is below 2 mph (3 km/h).

 A transmission operating mode different from

PARK (P) is activated.

 The driver's seat belt is not fastened.

 The driver side door is open.

 No attempts to apply pressure on the brake

pedal have been detected.

 The vehicle is parked on roads with a slope of

more than 4%.

The “Safe Hold” function can be temporarily disabled by pushing the switch located on the center console and the brake pedal at the same time, with the vehicle stationary and the driver side door open.

Once disabled, the function will activate again when the vehicle speed reaches 12 mph (20 km/h) or the ignition is cycled to OFF and then to ACC.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

The vehicle is equipped with an electronically controlled 8-speed automatic transmission where gear shifting automatically takes place, depending on the vehicle usage instantaneous parameters (vehicle speed, grade, and accelerator pedal position).

Manual gear shifting can still occur thanks to the “sequential mode” position for the gear selector.

WARNING!

 It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or

NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in reverse. You could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something. Only shift into gear when the engine is idling normally and your foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.

 Unintended movement of a vehicle could

injure those in or near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running. Before exiting a vehicle, always apply the parking brake, shift the transmission into PARK, and turn the ignition OFF. When the ignition is in the OFF position, the transmission is locked in PARK, securing the vehicle against unwanted movement.

 When leaving the vehicle, always make sure

the ignition is in the OFF position, remove the key fob from the vehicle, and lock the vehicle.

 Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or

WARNING!

 Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle

(or in a location accessible to children), and do not leave the ignition in the ON/RUN or ACC position. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.

CAUTION!

Damage to the transmission may occur if the following precautions are not observed:

 Shift into or out of PARK or REVERSE only

after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.

 Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE,

NEUTRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is above idle speed.

 Before shifting into any gear, make sure your

foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.

DISPLAY

The following information is shown on the dedicated area of the display:

 In Automatic Mode: the active mode (P, R, N, D)

with "D" as the current gear number.

 In Manual Drive Mode (Sequential): the mode

Gear Selector

3 — Gear Selector Button

The gear selector is a joystick style shifting mechanism which returns to the center position automatically. It can be pushed forward twice and rearward twice, based on the starting condition.

The PARK (P) mode can be enabled/disabled by

STARTING AND OPERATING

pushing the PARK (P) button.

To transition the vehicle into REVERSE (R) mode from DRIVE (D) mode, or into DRIVE (D) mode from REVERSE (R) mode, it is necessary to move the gear selector by pushing the gear selector button.

When using AutoStick to change gears, move the gear selector left from DRIVE (D) and then forward toward the - symbol or backward toward the + symbol and the gear is changed.

To shift out of PARK (P), or to pass from position NEUTRAL (N) to position DRIVE (D) or REVERSE (R), the vehicle must be moving at a low speed or stopped, and the brake pedal must also be pressed.

NOTE:

 DO NOT accelerate while shifting from position

PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N) to another position.

 After selecting a gear, wait a few seconds

before accelerating. This precaution is particularly important with a cold engine.

TRANSMISSION OPERATING MODES

PARK (P)

The transmission is locked in this mode. The engine can be started in this mode.

NOTE:

Never try to engage PARK (P) mode when the vehicle is moving. Before leaving the vehicle, make sure this mode is engaged (letter P shown on the display and gear selector) and that the parking brake is engaged.

When parking on a flat surface, first engage the PARK (P) mode and then engage the Electric Park Brake.

When parking uphill, before activating the PARK (P) mode, engage the Electric Park Brake. Otherwise, it could be difficult to engage the PARK (P) mode.

To check that the PARK (P) mode is actually engaged, make sure “P” is illuminated on the display and on the gear selector.

WARNING!

 Never use the PARK position as a substitute

for the parking brake. Always apply the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage.

(Continued)

WARNING!

 Your vehicle could move and injure you and

others if it is not in PARK. Check by trying to move the gear selector out of PARK with the brake pedal released. Make sure the transmission is in PARK before leaving the vehicle.

 It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or

 Unintended movement of a vehicle could

injure those in or near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running. Before exiting a vehicle, always apply the parking brake, shift the transmission into PARK, and turn the ignition STOP/OFF. When the ignition is in the STOP/OFF position, the transmission is locked in PARK, securing the vehicle against unwanted movement.

 When leaving the vehicle, always make sure

the ignition is in the STOP/OFF position, remove the key fob from the vehicle, and lock the vehicle.

(Continued)

Page 91

WARNING!

 Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or

 Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle

(or in a location accessible to children), and do not leave the ignition in the ON position. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.

CAUTION!

 Before moving the transmission gear

selector out of PARK, you must push the ignition button to cycle from STOP/OFF position to the ON position, and also press the brake pedal. Otherwise, damage to the gear selector could result.

 DO NOT race the engine when shifting from

PARK or NEUTRAL into another gear range, as this can damage the drivetrain.

REVERSE (R)

Select this mode only with the vehicle at a standstill.

NEUTRAL (N)

Use this range when the vehicle is standing for prolonged periods with the engine running. The engine may be started in this range. Apply the

Electric Park Brake and shift the transmission into PARK (P) if you must leave the vehicle.

WARNING!

Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn off the ignition to coast down a hill. These are unsafe practices that limit your response to changing traffic or road conditions. You might lose control of the vehicle and have a collision.

DRIVE (D)

Use this mode in normal driving conditions.

Shifting from DRIVE (D) to PARK (P) or REVERSE (R) modes must take place only after releasing the accelerator pedal, with vehicle at a standstill and brake pedal pressed.

This mode ensures automatic engagement of the most suitable gears for driving needs and maximum fuel economy in terms of consumption.

In this position, the transmission shifts the gears automatically, selecting the most suitable for forward driving among those available as you go. This ensures the vehicle's optimal driving characteristics are provided for all conditions.

AutoStick

In the case of frequent shifting (e.g. for sport driving, when the vehicle is driven with a heavy load or on slopes), it is recommended to use the AutoStick (sequential shifting) mode to select and keep a lower fixed ratio.

In these conditions, the use of a lower gear improves vehicle performance, preventing overheating.

It is possible to shift from DRIVE (D) mode to sequential mode regardless of vehicle speed.

Activation

Starting from DRIVE (D), move the selector to the left (– and + indication of the trim) to activate the sequential drive mode. The gear engaged will be shown on the display.

Shifting is made by moving the gear selector forwards, towards symbol – or backwards, towards symbol +.

Steering Wheel Shift Paddles — If Equipped

The gear can also be manually shifted by using the paddles behind the steering wheel. Pull the right paddle (+) toward the steering wheel and release it to engage a higher gear, and perform the same operation with the left paddle (-) to engage a lower gear.

Steering Wheel Shift Paddles

NOTE:

If only one manual shift is necessary, the letter “D” will remain on the display with the engaged gear next to it.

Page 92

Deactivation

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

WARNING!

Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a slippery surface. The drive wheels could lose their grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or personal injury.

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.

STARTING AND OPERATING

 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

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 transmission can be reset to regain all forward gears by performing the following steps:

1. Stop the vehicle.

2. Shift the transmission into PARK (P), if possible. If not, shift the transmission to NEUTRAL (N).

3. Push and hold the ignition until the engine turns off.

4. Wait for about 10 seconds, then restart the engine.

5. Shift into the desired gear range. If the problem is no longer detected, the transmission will return to normal operation.

NOTE:

Even if the transmission can be reset, we recommend 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 authorized dealer.

BRAKE/TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK (BTSI) S

This vehicle is equipped with a BTSI system that holds the gear selector in PARK (P) unless the brakes are applied.

This system prevents you from moving the gear selector from position PARK (P) unless the brakes are applied.

YSTEM

To shift the transmission out of PARK (P), the ignition must be placed in the ON/RUN position (engine running or not) and the brake pedal must be pressed.

Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock Disabling

Only if strictly necessary (e.g. pushing the vehicle, conveyor vehicle washing systems), place the vehicle in the NEUTRAL (N) position when stopping the engine. See the following steps:

1. Vehicle at a standstill.

2. NEUTRAL (N) mode activated.

3. Push the ignition button for at least three seconds.

The automatic parking brake engagement function when the engine is stopped can also be deactivated on the Information and Entertainment system by selecting the following functions on the main menu: “Settings”, “Driver Assistance” and “Automatic Parking Brake”.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Failure to comply with the following may damage the transmission:

 Shift into PARK (P) mode only with the vehicle

at a standstill.

 Select REVERSE (R) mode, or pass from

REVERSE to another mode only with the vehicle at a standstill and engine idling.
