INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on selecting your
new LANCIA vehicle. Be assured that
it represents precision workmanship,
distinctive styling, and high quality ­all essentials that are traditional to
our vehicles.

Before you start to drive this vehicle,
read this Owner's Manual and all the
supplements. Be sure you are familiar
with all vehicle controls, particularly
those used for braking, steering, and

Failure to operate this vehicle cor­rectly may result in loss of control or a
collision.

Operating this vehicle at excessive
speeds or while intoxicated may result
in loss of control, collision with other
vehicles or objects, going off the road,
or overturning; any of which may lead
to serious injury or death. Also, failure
to use seat belts subjects the driver
and passengers to a greater risk of
injury or death.

To keep your vehicle running at its
best, have your vehicle serviced at
recommended intervals by an autho­rized dealer who has the qualified per­sonnel, special tools, and equipment
to perform all service.

The manufacturer and its distributors
are vitally interested in your complete
satisfaction with this vehicle. If you
encounter a service or warranty prob­lem, which is not resolved to your
satisfaction, discuss the matter with
your dealer's management.

Your authorized dealer will be happy
to assist you with any questions about
your vehicle.

manufacturer, including qualified ad­vice, are available at your authorized
dealer.

When it comes to service, remember
that your authorized dealer knows
your vehicle best, has the factory­trained technicians and genuine
parts, and is interested in your satis­faction.

A WORD ABOUT YOUR
KEYS

Your vehicle is equipped with a key­less ignition system. This system con­sists of a Key Fob with Remote Key­less Entry (RKE) transmitter and a
Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) with
integral ignition switch. You can in­sert the Key Fob into the ignition
switch with either side up.

Keyless Enter-N-Go™ Feature for
(versions/markets where provided)

This vehicle may be equipped with
the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ feature, re­fer to Starting Procedures in Starting
And Operating for further informa­tion.

IGNITION NODE MODULE
(IGNM) — (for
versions/markets where
provided)

The Ignition Node Module (IGNM) op­erates similar to an ignition switch. It
has four operating positions, three with
detents and one that is spring-loaded.
The detent positions are OFF, ACC,

and ON/RUN. The START position is a
spring-loaded momentary contact po­sition. When released from the START
position, the switch automatically re­turns to the ON/RUN position.

NOTE: If your vehicle is
equipped with Keyless Enter-N­Go™, the Electronic Vehicle Infor­mation Center (EVIC) will display
the ignition switch position (OFF/
ACC/RUN). Refer to “Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
— (for versions/markets where
provided) in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further in­formation.

Ignition Node Module (IGNM)

1 — OFF
2 — ACC (ACCESSORY)
3 — ON/RUN
4—START

KEY FOB

The Key Fob also contains the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and
an emergency key, which stores in the
rear of the Key Fob.

The emergency key allows for entry
into the vehicle should the battery in
the vehicle or the Key Fob go dead.
You can keep the emergency key with
you when valet parking.

To remove the emergency key, slide
the mechanical latch on the face of the
Key Fob sideways with your thumb
and then pull the key out with your
other hand.

NOTE: You can insert the double­sided emergency key into the lock
cylinders with either side up.

13

REMOVING KEY FOB
FROM IGNITION

Place the shift lever in PARK. Turn
the Key Fob to the OFF position and
then remove the Key Fob.

NOTE: Power window switches
will also remain active for up to 10
minutes after the ignition switch
has been turned to OFF, depending
upon the accessory delay setting.
Opening either front door will can­cel this feature.

WARNING!

• Before exiting a vehicle, always
apply the parking brake, shift the
transmission into PARK, and
push ignition button to place ig­nition in OFF position. When
leaving the vehicle, always lock
your vehicle.

• Never leave children alone in a
vehicle, or with access to an un­locked vehicle.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

• 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 shift
lever.

• Do not leave the Key Fob in or
near the vehicle, or in a location
accessible to children, and do not
leave the ignition of a vehicle
equipped with Keyless Enter-N­Go™ in the ACC or ON/RUN
mode. 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 build-up
may cause serious injury or
death.

CAUTION!

An unlocked car is an invitation to
thieves. Always remove the Key
Fob from the ignition and lock all
doors when leaving the vehicle un­attended.

KEY-IN-IGNITION
REMINDER

Opening the driver's door when the
Key Fob is in the ignition and the
ignition switch position is OFF or
ACC, a chime will sound to remind
you to remove the key.

NOTE: The Key-In-Ignition re­minder only sounds when the Key
Fob is placed in the OFF or ACC
ignition position.

If your vehicle is equipped with Key­less Enter-N-Go™, opening the driv­er’s door when the vehicle’s ignition
switch is placed in ACC or ON/RUN
(engine stopped) will cause the re­minder chime to sound. Refer to
“Starting Procedures” in “Starting
And Operating” for further informa­tion.

14

STEERING WHEEL
LOCK — (for
versions/markets where
provided)

Your vehicle may be equipped with a
passive electronic steering wheel lock.
This lock prevents steering the vehicle
without the ignition key. If the steer­ing wheel is moved to one of the lock
positions with the key in the off posi­tions, the steering wheel will lock.

TO MANUALLY LOCK THE
STEERING WHEEL

With the engine running, rotate the
steering wheel one-quarter revolution
in either direction, turn off the engine
and remove the key. Turn the steering
wheel slightly in either direction until
the lock engages.

TO RELEASE THE
STEERING WHEEL LOCK

Cycle the ignition and start the en­gine.

NOTE: If you turned the wheel to
the right to engage the lock, you

must turn the wheel slightly to the
right to disengage it. If you turned
the wheel to the left to engage the
lock, turn the wheel slightly to the
left to disengage it.

SENTRY KEY®

The Sentry Key® 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 with Re­mote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmit­ter, a Keyless Ignition Node (KIN) and
a 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.

After cycling the ignition to 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 Sentry Key® Immobilizer sys­tem is not compatible with some
aftermarket remote starting 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.

15

REPLACEMENT KEYS

NOTE: Only Key Fobs that are
programmed to the vehicle elec­tronics can be used to start and
operate the vehicle. Once a Key
Fob is programmed to a vehicle, it
cannot be programmed to any
other vehicle.

CAUTION!

Always remove the keys from the
vehicle and lock all doors when
leaving the vehicle unattended.

Duplication of Key Fobs may be per­formed at an authorized dealer.

NOTE: When having the Sentry
Key® Immobilizer system ser­viced, bring all vehicle ignition
keys with you to an authorized
dealer.

REARMING OF THE
SYSTEM

If something triggers the alarm, and
no action is taken to disarm it, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will turn off
the horn after 29 seconds, and turn off
all of the visual signals after an addi­tional 31 seconds, then the Vehicle
Security Alarm will rearm itself.

TO ARM THE SYSTEM

Follow these steps to arm the Vehicle
Security Alarm:

1. Remove the key from the ignition
system (refer to "Starting Proce­dures" in "Starting And Operating"
for further information).

OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS

Some of the most important safety
features in your vehicle are the re­straint systems:

• Three-point lap and shoulder belts
for all seating positions

• Advanced Front Air Bags for driver
and front passenger

• Supplemental Active Head Re­straints (AHR) located on top of the
front seats (integrated into the head
restraint)

• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflat­able Curtains (SABIC) that span
the front, second, and third row
seating for the driver and passen­gers seated next to a window

• Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags (SAB)

• An energy-absorbing steering col­umn and steering wheel

• Knee bolsters/blockers for front
seat occupants

• Front seat belts incorporate preten­sioners that may enhance occupant
protection by managing occupant
energy during an impact event

All seat belt systems (except the

•
driver’s) include Automatic Locking
Retractors (ALRs), which lock the
seat belt webbing into position by
extending the belt all the way out
and then adjusting the belt to the

35

desired length to restrain a child seat
or secure a large item in a seat

If you will be carrying children too
small for adult-sized seat belts, the
seat belts or the ISOFIX feature also
can be used to hold infant and child
restraint systems. For more informa­tion on ISOFIX, see ISOFIX — Child
Seat Anchorage System.

WARNING!

• Never place a rear facing infant
seat in front of an air bag. A de­ploying Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag can cause death or
serious injury to a child 12 years
or younger, including a child in a
rearward facing infant seat.

• Only use a rearward-facing child
restraint in a vehicle with a rear
seat.

NOTE: The Advanced Front Air
Bags have a multistage inflator de­sign. This allows the air bag to
have different rates of inflation
based on several factors, including
the severity and type of collision.

36

Please pay close attention to the infor­mation in this section. It tells you how
to use your restraint system properly,
to keep you and your passengers as
safe as possible.

Buckle up even though you are an
excellent driver, even on short trips.
Someone on the road may be a poor
driver and cause a collision that in­cludes you. This can happen far away
from home or on your own street.

Research has shown that seat belts
save lives, and they can reduce the
seriousness of injuries in a collision.
Some of the worst injuries happen
when people are thrown from the ve­hicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility
of ejection and the risk of injury
caused by striking the inside of the
vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle
should be belted at all times.

LAP/SHOULDER BELTS

All seating positions in your vehicle
are equipped with combination lap/
shoulder belts.

The belt webbing in the retractor is
designed to lock during very sudden

stops or collisions. This feature allows
the shoulder part of the belt to move
freely with you under normal condi­tions. However, in a collision the belt
will lock and reduce the risk of you
striking the inside of the vehicle or
being thrown out.

The driver is responsible for respect­ing, and ensuring that all the other
occupants of the car also respect, the
local laws in force in relation to the
use of the seat belts. Always fasten the
seat belts before starting.

WARNING!

• It is dangerous to ride in a cargo
area, inside or outside of a ve­hicle. In a collision, people riding
in these areas are more likely to
be seriously injured or killed.

• Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat
belts.

• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is
in a seat and using a seat belt
properly.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

• Wearing a seat belt incorrectly is
dangerous. Seat belts are de­signed to go around the large
bones of your body. These are the
strongest parts of your body and
can take the forces of a collision
the best.

• Wearing your belt in the wrong
place could make your injuries in
a collision much worse. You
might suffer internal injuries, or
you could even slide out of part of
the belt. Follow these instructions
to wear your seat belt safely and
to keep your passengers safe, too.

Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating
Instructions

1. Enter the vehicle and close the
door. Sit back and adjust the seat.

2. The seat belt latch plate is near the
seatback of the front seats and next to
your arm in the rear seats. Grasp the
latch plate and pull out the belt. Slide
the latch plate up the webbing as far
as necessary to allow the belt to go
around your lap.

WARNING! (Continued)

the vehicle in a collision, increas­ing head and neck injury. A belt
worn under the arm can cause
internal injuries. Ribs aren't as
strong as shoulder bones. Wear
the belt over your shoulder so that
your strongest bones will take the
force in a collision.

A shoulder belt placed behind you

•
will not protect you from injury
during a collision. You are more
likely to hit your head in a collision
if you do not wear your shoulder
belt. The lap and shoulder belt are
meant to be used together.

• Two people should never be
belted into a single seat belt.
People belted together can crash
into one another in a collision,
hurting one another badly. Never
use a lap/shoulder belt or lap belt
for more than one person, no
matter what their size.

Pulling Out Belt And Latch Plate

WARNING!

• A belt that is worn under your
arm is dangerous. Your body
could strike the inside surfaces of

3. When the belt is long enough to fit,
insert the latch plate into the buckle
until you hear a “click”.

Inserting Latch Plate Into Buckle

37

WARNING!

• A belt that is buckled into the
wrong buckle will not protect you
properly. The lap portion could
ride too high on your body, possi­bly causing internal injuries. Al­ways buckle your belt into the
buckle nearest you.

A belt that is too loose will not

•
protect you properly. In a sudden
stop you could move too far for­ward, increasing the possibility of
injury. Wear your seat belt snugly.

4. Position the lap belt across your
thighs, below your abdomen. To re­move slack in the lap belt portion, pull
up on the shoulder belt. To loosen the
lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch
plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug
belt reduces the risk of sliding under
the belt in a collision.

Removing Slack From Belt

WARNING!

• A lap belt worn too high can in­crease the risk of injury in a colli­sion. The belt forces won't be at
the strong hip and pelvic bones,
but across your abdomen. Always
wear the lap part of your seat belt
as low as possible and keep it
snug.

• A twisted belt may not protect
you properly. In a collision, it
could even cut into you. Be sure
the belt is straight. If you can't
straighten a belt in your vehicle,
take it to your authorized dealer
immediately and have it fixed.

WARNING! (Continued)

• Do not use devices (clips, fasten­ings etc.) that prevent the seat
belts from laying close to the oc­cupants' bodies.

• Do not carry children on a pas­senger’s lap using only one seat
belt for protecting both of them.

5. Position the shoulder belt on your
chest so that it is comfortable and not
resting on your neck. The retractor
will withdraw any slack in the belt.

6. To release the belt, push the red
button on the buckle. The belt will
automatically retract to its stowed po­sition. If necessary, slide the latch
plate down the webbing to allow the
belt to retract fully.

38

(Continued)

WARNING!

A frayed or torn belt could rip apart
in a collision and leave you with no
protection. Inspect the belt system
periodically, checking for cuts,
frays, or loose parts. Damaged
parts must be replaced immedi­ately. Do not disassemble or modify
the system. Seat belt assemblies
must be replaced after a collision if
they have been damaged (bent re­tractor, torn webbing, etc.).

Third Row Center Shoulder Belt
Instructions

The shoulder belt for the third row
center seat is located in the headliner
slightly behind the third row seat.

Pull the strap down and secure the
small latch plate of the lap belt into
the small buckle until you hear a
“click”.

Position the shoulder belt on your
chest so that it is comfortable and not
resting on your neck. When the belt is
long enough to fit , insert the large
latch plate into the buckle until you

hear a “click.” The retractor should
withdraw any slack in the belt.

To release the small latch plate, posi­tion the end of the large latch plate
against the red button on the small
latch plate and push upward. Rein­stall the latch plates into the head­liner.

Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting
Procedure

Use the following procedure to un­twist a twisted lap/shoulder belt.

1. Position the latch plate as close as
possible to the anchor point.

2. At about 15 to 30 cm above the
latch plate, grasp and twist the belt
webbing 180 degrees to create a fold
that begins immediately above the
latch plate.

3. Slide the latch plate upward over
the folded webbing. The folded web­bing must enter the slot at the top of
the latch plate.

4. Continue to slide the latch plate up
until it clears the folded webbing.

Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt
Anchorage

In the front seats and the second row
outboard seats, the shoulder belt an­chorage can be adjusted upward or
downward to help position the belt
away from your neck. The upper an­chorage can be adjusted upward by
pushing anywhere on the anchorage.
To move the anchorage downward,
squeeze the actuation buttons while
simultaneously pushing down on the
anchorage assembly.

As a guide, if you are shorter than
average you will prefer a lower posi­tion, and if you are taller than average
you will prefer a higher position.
When you release the anchorage, try
to move it up or down to make sure
that it is locked in position.

WARNING!

The seat belts height must only be
adjusted when the vehicle is sta­tionary.

AUTOMATIC LOCKING
RETRACTOR MODE (ALR)

In this mode, the shoulder belt is auto­matically pre-locked. The belt will still
retract to remove any slack in the
shoulder belt. The Automatic Locking
Mode is available on all passenger­seating positions with a combination
lap/shoulder belt. Use the Automatic
Locking Mode anytime a child safety
seat is installed in a seating position

that has a belt with this feature. Chil­dren 12 years old and under should
always be properly restrained in the
rear seat.

How To Engage The Automatic
Locking Mode

1. Buckle the combination lap and
shoulder belt.

2. Grasp the shoulder portion and
pull downward until the entire belt is
extracted.

3. Allow the belt to retract. As the
belt retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound. This indicates the safety belt is
now in the Automatic Locking Mode.

How To Disengage The Automatic
Locking Mode

Unbuckle the combination lap/
shoulder belt and allow it to retract
completely to disengage the Auto­matic Locking Mode and activate the
vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking
mode.

ENERGY MANAGEMENT
FEATURE

This vehicle has a safety belt system
with an energy management feature
in the front seating positions to help
further reduce the risk of injury in the
event of a head-on collision. This
safety belt system has a retractor as­sembly that is designed to release
webbing in a controlled manner. This
feature is designed to help reduce the
belt force acting on the occupant’s
chest.

SEAT BELT
PRETENSIONERS

The seat belts for both front seating
positions are equipped with preten­sioning devices that are designed to
remove slack from the seat belt in the
event of a collision. These devices may
improve the performance of the seat
belt by assuring that the belt is tight
about the occupant early in a colli­sion. Pretensioners work for all size
occupants, including those in child
restraints.

WARNING!

• The belt and retractor assembly
must be replaced if the seat belt
assembly Automatic Locking Re­tractor (ALR) feature or any
other seat belt function is not
working properly when checked
according to the procedures in the
Service Manual.

• Failure to replace the belt and
retractor assembly could increase
the risk of injury in collisions.

WARNING!

• The belt and retractor assembly
must be replaced if the seat belt
assembly Automatic Locking Re­tractor (ALR) feature or any
other seat belt function is not
working properly when checked
according to the procedures in the
Service Manual.

• Failure to replace the belt and
retractor assembly could increase
the risk of injury in collisions.

NOTE: These devices are not a
substitute for proper seat belt
placement by the occupant. The
seat belt still must be worn snugly
and positioned properly.

The pretensioners are triggered by the
Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC). Like the air bags, the preten­sioners are single use items. A de­ployed pretensioner or a deployed air
bag must be replaced immediately.

SUPPLEMENTAL ACTIVE
HEAD RESTRAINTS (AHR)
— (for versions/markets
where provided)

These head restraints are passive, de­ployable components, and vehicles
with this equipment cannot be readily
identified by any markings, only
through visual inspection of the head
restraint. The head restraint will be
split in two halves, with the front half
being soft foam and trim, the back
half being decorative plastic.

How The Active Head Restraints
(AHR) Work

The Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) determines whether the sever­ity, or type of rear impact will require
the Active Head Restraints (AHR) to
deploy. If a rear impact requires de­ployment, both the driver and front
passenger seat AHRs will be deployed.

When AHRs deploy during a rear im­pact, the front half of the head re­straint extends forward to minimize
the gap between the back of the occu­pant’s head and the AHR. This system

is designed to help prevent or reduce
the extent of injuries to the driver and
front passenger in certain types of
rear impacts.

NOTE: The Active Head Re­straints (AHR) may or may not de­ploy in the event of a front or side
impact. However if during a front
impact, a secondary rear impact
occurs, the AHR may deploy based
on several factors, including the
severity and type of the impact.

CAUTION!

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
collision.

NOTE: For more information on
properly adjusting and positioning
the head restraint, refer to “Ad­justing Active Head Restraints” in
“Understanding The Features Of
Your Vehicle”.

Resetting Active Head Restraints
(AHR)

If the Active Head Restraints are trig­gered in a collision, you must reset the
head restraint on the driver’s and
front passenger seat. You can recog­nize when the Active Head Restraint
has been triggered by the fact that
they have moved forward (as shown
in step three of the resetting proce­dure).

1. Grasp the deployed AHR from the
rear seat.

42

Hand Positioning Points On AHR

2. Position the hands on the top of
the deployed AHR at a comfortable
position.

3. Pull down then rearward to­wards the rear of the vehicle then
down to engage the locking mecha­nism.

NOTE:

• If you have difficulties or prob-

lems resetting the Active Head
Restraints, see an authorized
dealer.

• For safety reasons, have the Ac­tive Head Restraints checked by
a qualified specialist at an au­thorized dealer.

ACTIVE HOOD SYSTEM

The Active Hood system is intended to
enhance pedestrian protection by el­evating the vehicle’s hood upon an
impact with a pedestrian or other ob­ject. The system is automatically acti­vated when the vehicle is moving
within a specified vehicle speed range.
In order to detect a range of pedestri­ans, other objects that are impacted
may result in an Active Hood deploy­ment.

Deployment Sensors And Controls

The Electronic Pedestrian Protection
Module (EPPM) determines if deploy­ment of the actuators in a frontal im­pact is required. Based on the impact
sensors signals, the EPPM determines
when to deploy the actuators. The
impact sensors are located within the
front bumper area.

The EPPM monitors the readiness of
the electronic parts of the Active Hood

43

system whenever the ignition switch is
in the START or ON/RUN position. If
the key is in the LOCK position, in the
ACC position, or not in the ignition,
the Active Hood system is not on and
the Active Hood will not deploy.

The EPPM contains a backup power
supply system that may deploy the
actuators even if the battery loses
power or it becomes disconnected
prior to deployment.

Service Active Hood System

If the EPPM has deployed the Active
Hood, or if it detects a malfunction in
any part of the system, it turns on the
Air Bag Warning Light and it will
display the “SERVICE ACTIVE
HOOD” message in the Electronic Ve­hicle Information Center (EVIC), for
versions/markets, where provided. A
single chime will sound if the Air Bag
Warning Light comes on again after
initial startup. It also includes diag­nostics that will illuminate the Air Bag
Warning Light if a malfunction is
noted that could affect the Active
Hood system. The diagnostics also re­cord the nature of the malfunction. If

the Air Bag Warning Light is illumi­nated, or if “SERVICE ACTIVE
HOOD” appears in the EVIC, see
your authorized dealer.

In the event of an Active Hood deploy­ment, the vehicle should be serviced
by an authorized dealer. The hood
hinges must be serviced and the ac­tuator assemblies replaced to restore
system functionality.

Following an Active Hood deploy­ment, the hood position can be tem­porarily reset by pushing down at the
rear edge over the hood hinges as the
internal pressure of each actuator is
relieved. The temporary hood reset
position is intended to improve for­ward driving visibility over the hood
until the vehicle can be serviced. The
temporary hood reset position will
leave the hood approximately 5 mm
above the fender surface.

Temporary Hood Reset Position

The front bumper assembly may af­fect proper operation of the Active
Hood system. The front bumper com­ponents should be inspected for dam­age and replaced if necessary in the
event of a frontal impact, even if it
occurs at a low rate of speed.

NOTE: After any Active Hood de­ployment, the vehicle should be
taken to an authorized dealer im­mediately.

44

CAUTION!

To prevent possible damage, do not
slam the rear of the hood to reset it.
Press the rear of the hood down
until an audible and tactile detent is
detected (approximately 5 mm
above the fender). This should se­cure both hood hinge reset mecha­nisms.

WARNING!

• Ignoring the Air Bag Warning
Light in your instrument panel or
the “SERVICE ACTIVE HOOD”
message in the EVIC could mean
you won’t have the Active Hood
to enhance pedestrian protection.
If the light does not come on as a
bulb check when the ignition is
first turned on, stays on after you
start the vehicle, or if it comes on
as you drive, see your authorized
dealer.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

• Modifications to any part of the
Active Hood system could cause it
to fail when you need it. Do not
modify the components or wiring.
Do not modify the front bumper,
vehicle body structure, or add an
aftermarket front bumper or
cover.

• It is dangerous to try to repair any
part of the Active Hood system
yourself. Be sure to tell anyone
who works on your vehicle that it
has an Active Hood system.

• Do not attempt to modify any
part of your Active Hood system.
The Active Hood may deploy ac­cidentally or may not function
properly if modifications are
made. Take your vehicle to an
authorized dealer for any hood
service.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

• Drivers must be aware of pedes­trians. Always be sure to check
for pedestrians, animals, other
vehicles, and obstructions. You
are responsible for safety and
must continue to pay attention to
your surroundings. Failure to do
so can result in serious injury or
death.

ENHANCED SEAT BELT
USE REMINDER SYSTEM
(BeltAlert®)

BeltAlert® is a feature intended to
remind the driver and front passenger
(for versions/markets, where pro­vided with front passenger
BeltAlert®) to fasten their seat belts.
The feature is active whenever the
ignition is on. If the driver or front
seat passenger is unbelted, the Seat
Belt Reminder Light will turn on and
remain on until both front seat belts
are fastened.

The BeltAlert® warning sequence be­gins after the vehicle speed is over
8 km/h, by blinking the Seat Belt

45

Reminder Light and sounding an in­termittent chime. Once the sequence
starts, it will continue for the entire
duration or until the respective seat­belts are fastened. After the sequence
completes, the Seat Belt Reminder
Light remains illuminated until the
respective seat belts are fastened. The
driver should instruct all other occu­pants to fasten their seat belts. If a
front seat belt is unbuckled while
traveling at speeds greater than
8 km/h, BeltAlert® will provide both
audio and visual notification.

The front passenger seat BeltAlert® is
not active when the front passenger
seat is unoccupied. BeltAlert® may be
triggered when an animal or heavy
object is on the front passenger seat or
when the seat is folded flat (for
versions/markets, where provided). It
is recommended that pets be re­strained in the rear seat in pet har­nesses or pet carriers that are secured
by seat belts, and cargo is properly
stowed.

BeltAlert® can be enabled or disabled
by your authorized dealer. LANCIA
does not recommend deactivating
BeltAlert®.

NOTE: Although BeltAlert® has
been deactivated, the Seat Belt Re­minder Light will continue to illu­minate while the driver’s or front
passenger (for versions/markets,
where provided with BeltAlert®)
seat belt remains unfastened.

SEAT BELTS AND
PREGNANT WOMEN

We recommend that pregnant women
use the seat belts throughout their
pregnancies. Keeping the mother safe
is the best way to keep the baby safe.

Pregnant women should wear the lap
part of the belt across the thighs and
as snug across the hips as possible.
Keep the belt low so that it does not
come across the abdomen. That way
the strong bones of the hips will take
the force if there is a collision.

SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
— AIR BAGS

This vehicle has Advanced Front Air
Bags for both the driver and front
passenger as a supplement to the seat
belt restraint systems. The driver's
Advanced Front Air Bag is mounted
in the center of the steering wheel.
The passenger's Advanced Front Air
Bag is mounted in the instrument
panel, above the glove compartment.
The words SRS AIRBAG are em­bossed on the air bag covers.

1 — Driver And
Passenger Ad­vanced Front Air
Bags

2 — Knee Impact
Bolsters

46

NOTE: The Driver and Front Pas­senger Advanced Front Air Bags
are certified to regulations for Ad­vanced Air Bags.

The Advanced Front Air Bags have a
multistage inflator design. This allows
the air bag to have different rates of
inflation based on several factors, in­cluding the severity and type of colli­sion.

This vehicle may be equipped with a
driver and/or front passenger seat
belt buckle switch that detects
whether the driver or front passenger
seat belt is fastened. The seat belt
buckle switch may adjust the inflation
rate of the Advanced Front Air Bags.

This vehicle is equipped with Supple­mental Side Air Bag Inflatable Cur­tains (SABIC) to protect the driver,
front, and rear passengers sitting next
to a window. The SABIC air bags are
located above the side windows and
their covers are also labeled: SRS
AIRBAG.

This vehicle is equipped with Supple­mental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags

(SAB). The Supplemental Seat­Mounted Side Air Bags are marked
with an air bag label sewn into the
outboard side of the front seats.

NOTE:

• Air Bag covers may not be obvi­ous in the interior trim, but they
will open during air bag deploy­ment.

• After any accident, the vehicle
should be taken to an autho­rized dealer immediately.

AIR BAG SYSTEM
COMPONENTS

Your vehicle may be equipped with
the following air bag system compo­nents:

• Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC)

• Air Bag Warning Light

• Steering Wheel and Column

• Instrument Panel

• Knee Impact Bolsters

• Driver Advanced Front Air Bag

• Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag

• Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags (SAB)

• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflat­able Curtains (SABIC)

• Front and Side Impact Sensors

• Front Seat Belt Pretensioners and
Seat Belt Buckle Switch

ADVANCED FRONT AIR
BAG FEATURES

The Advanced Front Air Bag system
has multistage driver and front pas­senger air bags. This system provides
output appropriate to the severity and
type of collision as determined by the
Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC), which may receive informa­tion from the front impact sensors.

The first stage inflator is triggered
immediately during an impact that
requires air bag deployment. This low
output is used in less severe collisions.
A higher energy output is used for
more severe collisions.

47

WARNING!

• No objects should be placed over
or near the air bag on the instru­ment panel, because any such ob­jects could cause harm if the ve­hicle is in a collision severe
enough to cause the air bag to
inflate.

• Do not put anything on or around
the air bag covers or attempt to
open them manually. You may
damage the air bags and you
could be injured because the air
bags may no longer be functional.
The protective covers for the air
bag cushions are designed to open
only when the air bags are inflat­ing.

• Do not drill, cut or tamper with
the knee bolster in any way.

• Do not mount any accessories to
the knee bolster such as alarm
lights, stereos, citizen band ra­dios, etc.

Here are some simple steps you can
take to minimize the risk of harm
from a deploying air bag:

Children 12 years old and under
should always ride buckled up in a
rear seat.

WARNING!

Infants in rear-facing child re­straints should never ride in the
front seat of a vehicle with a Pas­senger Advanced Front Air Bag. An
air bag deployment can cause se­vere injury or death to infants in
that position.

You should read the instructions pro­vided with your child restraint to
make sure that you are using it prop­erly.

All occupants should always wear
their lap and shoulder belts properly.

Children that are not big enough to
wear the vehicle seat belt properly
(see Section on Child Restraints)
should be secured in the rear seat in
child restraints or belt-positioning
booster seats. Older children who do
not use child restraints or belt­positioning booster seats should ride
properly buckled up in the rear seat.

Never allow children to slide the
shoulder belt behind them or under
their arm.

If the air bag system in this vehicle
needs to be modified to accommodate
a disabled person, contact the Cus­tomer Center.

The driver and front passenger seats
should be moved back as far as prac­tical to allow the Advanced Front Air
Bags room to inflate.

Do not lean against the door or win­dow. If your vehicle has side air bags,
and deployment occurs, the side air
bags will inflate forcefully into the
space between you and the door.

WARNING!

• Relying on the air bags alone
could lead to more severe injuries
in a collision. The air bags work
with your seat belt to restrain you
properly. In some collisions, the
air bags won't deploy at all. Al­ways wear your seat belts even
though you have air bags.

(Continued)

48

WARNING! (Continued)

• Being too close to the steering
wheel or instrument panel during
Advanced Front Air Bag deploy­ment could cause serious injury,
including death. Air bags need
room to inflate. Sit back, com­fortably extending your arms to
reach the steering wheel or in­strument panel.

• Side air bags also need room to
inflate. Do not lean against the
door or window. Sit upright in the
center of the seat.

• In a collision, you and your pas­sengers can suffer much greater
injuries if you are not properly
buckled up. You can strike the
interior of your vehicle or other
passengers, or you can be thrown
out of the vehicle. Always be sure
you and others in your vehicle are
buckled up properly.

Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags (SAB)

Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags (SAB) may provide enhanced

protection to help protect an occupant
during a side impact. The SAB is
marked with an air bag label sewn
into the outboard side of the front
seats.

Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air

Bag Label

When the air bag deploys, it opens the
seam between the front and side of the
seat's trim cover. Each air bag deploys
independently; a left side impact de­ploys the left air bag only and a right­side impact deploys the right air bag
only.

Supplemental Side Air Bag
Inflatable Curtain (SABIC)

SABIC air bags may offer side-impact
and vehicle rollover protection to
front and rear seat outboard occu­pants in addition to that provided by

the body structure. Each air bag fea­tures inflated chambers placed adja­cent to the head of each outboard
occupant that reduce the potential for
side-impact head injuries. The SABIC
deploy downward, covering both win­dows on the impact side.

NOTE:

• Should a vehicle rollover occur,
the pretensioners and/or SAB
and SABIC air bags on both
sides of the vehicle may deploy.

• Air Bag covers may not be obvi­ous in the interior trim, but they
will open during air bag
deployment.

• Being too close to the SAB and
SABIC air bags during deploy­ment could cause you to be se­verely injured or killed.

The system includes side impact sen­sors that are calibrated to deploy the
side air bags during impacts that re­quire air bag occupant protection.

SAB and SABIC air bags are a supple­ment to the seat belt restraint system.

49

Occupants, including children who
are up against or very close to SAB or
SABIC air bags can be seriously in­jured or killed. Occupants, especially
children, should not lean on or sleep
against the door, side windows, or
area where the SAB or SABIC air bags
inflate, even if they are in an infant or
child restraint. Always sit upright as
possible with your back against the
seat back, use the seat belts properly,
and use the appropriate sized child
restraint, infant restraint or booster
seat recommended for the size and
weight of the child.

WARNING!

• Your vehicle is equipped with
SABIC air bags, do not have any
accessory items installed which
will alter the roof, including add­ing a sunroof to your vehicle. Do
not add roof racks that require
permanent attachments (bolts or
screws) for installation on the ve­hicle roof. Do not drill into the
roof of the vehicle for any reason.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

• Your vehicle is equipped with left
and right Supplemental Side Air
Bag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC),
do not stack luggage or other
cargo up high enough to block the
location of the SABIC. The area
where the SABIC is located
should remain free from any ob­structions.

• Do not use accessory seat covers
or place objects between you and
the side air bags; the performance
could be adversely affected
and/or objects could be pushed
into you, causing serious injury.

Knee Impact Bolsters

The Knee Impact Bolsters help pro­tect the knees of the driver and the
front passenger, and position front oc­cupants for the best interaction with
the Advanced Front Air Bags.

Along with seat belts and pretension­ers, Advanced Front Air Bags work
with the knee bolsters to provide im­proved protection for the driver and

front passenger. Side air bags also
work with seat belts to improve occu­pant protection.

The ORC is part of a regulated safety
system required for this vehicle.

The ORC determines if deployment of
the front and/or side air bags in a
frontal or side collision is required.
Based on the impact sensor's signals,
a central electronic ORC deploys the
Advanced Front Air Bags, SABIC air
bags, Supplemental Seat-Mounted
Side Air Bags, and front seat belt pre­tensioners, as required, depending on
several factors, including the severity
and type of impact.

Advanced Front Air Bags are designed
to provide additional protection by
supplementing the seat belts in cer­tain frontal collisions depending on
several factors, including the severity
and type of collision. Advanced Front

50

Air Bags are not expected to reduce
the risk of injury in rear, side, or roll­over collisions.

The Advanced Front Air Bags will not
deploy in all frontal collisions, includ­ing some that may produce substan­tial vehicle damage — for example,
some pole collisions, truck under­rides, and angle offset collisions. On
the other hand, depending on the type
and location of impact, Advanced
Front Air Bags may deploy in crashes
with little vehicle front-end damage
but that produce a severe initial decel­eration.

The side air bags will not deploy in all
side collisions. Side air bag deploy­ment will depend on the severity and
type of collision.

Because air bag sensors measure ve­hicle deceleration over time, vehicle
speed and damage by themselves are
not good indicators of whether or not
an air bag should have deployed.

Seat belts are necessary for your pro­tection in all collisions, and also are

needed to help keep you in position,
away from an inflating air bag.

The ORC monitors the readiness of
the electronic parts of the air bag sys­tem whenever the ignition switch is in
the START or ON/RUN position. If
the key is in the OFF position, in the
ACC position, or not in the ignition,
the air bag system is not on and the air
bags will not inflate.

The ORC contains a backup power
supply system that may deploy the air
bags even if the battery loses power or
it becomes disconnected prior to de­ployment.

Also, the ORC turns on the
Air Bag Warning Light in
the instrument panel for

approximately four to eight
seconds for a self-check when the ig­nition is first turned on. After the self­check, the Air Bag Warning Light will
turn off. If the ORC detects a mal­function in any part of the system, it
turns on the Air Bag Warning Light,
either momentarily or continuously. A
single chime will sound if the light
comes on again after initial startup.

It also includes diagnostics that will
illuminate the instrument cluster Air
Bag Warning Light if a malfunction is
noted that could affect the air bag
system. The diagnostics also record
the nature of the malfunction.

WARNING!

Ignoring the Air Bag Warning Light
in your instrument panel could
mean you won't have the air bags to
protect you in a collision. If the light
does not come on as a bulb check
when the ignition is first turned on,
stays on after you start the vehicle,
or if it comes on as you drive, have
an authorized dealer service the air
bag system immediately.

Driver And Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag Inflator Units

The Driver and Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag Inflator Units are lo­cated in the center of the steering
wheel and on the right side of the
instrument panel. When the ORC de­tects a collision requiring the Ad­vanced Front Air Bags, it signals the

51

inflator units. A large quantity of non­toxic gas is generated to inflate the
Advanced Front Air Bags. Different
air bag inflation rates are possible,
based on several factors, including the
collision type and severity. The steer­ing wheel hub trim cover and the up­per right side of the instrument panel
separate and fold out of the way as the
air bags inflate to their full size. The
air bags fully inflate in about 50 to 70
milliseconds. This is about half of the
time it takes to blink your eyes. The
air bags then quickly deflate while
helping to restrain the driver and
front passenger.

The Advanced Front Air Bag gas is
vented through the vent holes in the
sides of the air bag. In this way, the air
bags do not interfere with your con­trol of the vehicle.

Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bag (SAB) Inflator Units

The Supplemental Seat-Mounted
Side Air Bags (SAB) are designed to
activate only in certain side collisions.

The ORC determines if a side collision
requires the side air bags to inflate,
based on the severity and type of col­lision.

Based on the severity and type of col­lision, the side air bag inflator on the
crash side of the vehicle may be trig­gered, releasing a quantity of non­toxic gas. The inflating SAB exits
through the seat seam into the space
between the occupant and the door.
The SAB fully inflates in about 10
milliseconds. The side air bag moves
at a very high speed and with such a
high force that it could injure you if
you are not seated properly, or if items
are positioned in the area where the
side air bag inflates. This especially
applies to children.

Supplemental Side Air Bag
Inflatable Curtain (SABIC)
Inflator Units

During collisions where the impact is
confined to a particular area of the
side of the vehicle, the ORC may de­ploy the SABIC air bags, depending
on the severity and type of collision. In

these events, the ORC will deploy the
SABIC only on the impact side of the
vehicle.

A quantity of non-toxic gas is gener­ated to inflate the side curtain air bag.
The inflating side curtain air bag
pushes the outside edge of the head­liner out of the way and covers the
window. The air bag inflates in about
30 milliseconds (about one-quarter of
the time that it takes to blink your
eyes) with enough force to injure you
if you are not belted and seated prop­erly, or if items are positioned in the
area where the side curtain air bag
inflates. This especially applies to
children. The side curtain air bag is
only about 3-1/2 in (9 cm) thick when
it is inflated.

Because air bag sensors estimate de­celeration over time, vehicle speed
and damage are not good indicators of
whether or not an air bag should have
deployed.

NOTE: In a rollover the preten­sioners and/or SAB and SABIC air
bags may deploy on both sides of
the vehicle.

52

Front And Side Impact Sensors

In front and side impacts, impact sen­sors can aid the ORC in determining
appropriate response to impact
events.

Enhanced Accident Response
System

In the event of an impact causing air
bag deployment, if the communica­tion network remains intact, and the
power remains intact, depending on
the nature of the event the ORC will
determine whether to have the En­hanced Accident Response System
perform the following functions:

• Cut off fuel to the engine.

• Flash hazard lights as long as the
battery has power or until the igni­tion is cycled off.

• Turn on the interior lights, which
remain on as long as the battery has
power or until the ignition key is
removed.

• Unlock the doors automatically.

an event, the ignition switch must be
changed from IGN ON to IGN OFF.

If A Deployment Occurs

The Advanced Front Air Bags are de­signed to deflate immediately after
deployment.

NOTE: Front and/or side air bags
will not deploy in all collisions.
This does not mean something is
wrong with the air bag system.

If you do have a collision which de­ploys the air bags, any or all of the
following may occur:

• The nylon air bag material may
sometimes cause abrasions and/or
skin reddening to the driver and
front passenger as the air bags de­ploy and unfold. The abrasions are
similar to friction rope burns or
those you might get sliding along a
carpet or gymnasium floor. They
are not caused by contact with
chemicals. They are not permanent

and normally heal quickly. How­ever, if you haven't healed signifi­cantly within a few days, or if you
have any blistering, see your doctor
immediately.

• As the air bags deflate, you may see
some smoke-like particles. The
particles are a normal by-product
of the process that generates the
non-toxic gas used for air bag infla­tion. These airborne particles may
irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or
throat. If you have skin or eye irri­tation, rinse the area with cool wa­ter. For nose or throat irritation,
move to fresh air. If the irritation
continues, see your doctor. If these
particles settle on your clothing,
follow the garment manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.

Do not drive your vehicle after the air
bags have deployed. If you are in­volved in another collision, the air
bags will not be in place to protect
you.

In order to reset the Enhanced Acci­dent Response System functions after

53

WARNING!

Deployed air bags and seat belt pre­tensioners can not protect you in
another collision. Have the air
bags, seat belt pretensioners, and
the front seat belt retractor assem­blies replaced by an authorized
dealer immediately. Also, have the
Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) system serviced as well.

Maintaining Your Air Bag System

WARNING!

• Modifications to any part of the
air bag system could cause it to
fail when you need it. You could
be injured if the air bag system is
not there to protect you. Do not
modify the components or wiring,
including adding any kind of
badges or stickers to the steering
wheel hub trim cover or the upper
right side of the instrument panel.
Do not modify the front bumper,
vehicle body structure, or add af­termarket side steps or running
boards.

• It is dangerous to try to repair any
part of the air bag system your­self. Be sure to tell anyone who
works on your vehicle that it has
an air bag system.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

• Do not attempt to modify any
part of your air bag system. The
air bag may inflate accidentally
or may not function properly if
modifications are made. Take
your vehicle to an authorized
dealer for any air bag system ser­vice. If your seat, including your
trim cover and cushion, needs to
be serviced in any way (including
removal or loosening/tightening
of seat attachment bolts), take
the vehicle to your authorized
dealer. Only manufacturer ap­proved seat accessories may be
used. If it is necessary to modify
the air bag system for persons
with disabilities, contact your au­thorized dealer.

54

Air Bag Warning Light

You will want to have the
air bags ready to inflate for
your protection in a colli-

sion. The Air Bag Warning
Light monitors the internal circuits
and interconnecting wiring associated
with air bag system electrical compo­nents. While the air bag system is
designed to be maintenance free, if
any of the following occurs, have an
authorized dealer service the air bag
system immediately.

• The Air Bag Warning Light does

not come on during the four to eight
seconds when the ignition switch is
first turned to the ON/RUN posi­tion.

• The Air Bag Warning Light remains

on after the four to eight-second
interval.

• The Air Bag Warning Light comes

on intermittently or remains on
while driving.

NOTE: If the speedometer, ta­chometer, or any engine related
gauges are not working, the Occu­pant Restraint Controller (ORC)
may also be disabled. The air bags
may not be ready to inflate for your
protection. Promptly check the
fuse block for blown fuses. Refer to
the label located on the inside of
the fuse block cover for the proper
air bag fuses. See your authorized
dealer if the fuse is good.

Event Data Recorder (EDR)

This vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main pur­pose of an EDR is to record, in certain
crash or near crash-like situations,
such as an air bag deployment or hit­ting a road obstacle, data that will as­sist in understanding how a vehicle’s
systems performed. The EDR is de­signed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a
short period of time, typically 30 sec­onds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:

• How various systems in your ve­hicle were operating;

• Whether or not the driver and pas­senger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;

• How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal; and,

• How fast the vehicle was traveling.

These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.

NOTE: EDR data are recorded by
your vehicle only if a non-trivial
crash situation occurs; no data are
recorded by the EDR under nor­mal driving conditions and no per­sonal data (e.g., name, gender, age,
and crash location) are recorded.
However, other parties, such as
law enforcement, could combine
the EDR data with the type of per­sonally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investiga­tion.

To read data recorded by an EDR,
special equipment is required, and ac­cess to the vehicle or the EDR is
needed. In addition to the vehicle

55

manufacturer, other parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the spe­cial equipment, can read the informa­tion if they have access to the vehicle
or the EDR.

CHILD RESTRAINTS

Everyone in your vehicle needs to be
buckled up at all times, including ba­bies and children.

Children 12 years or younger should
ride properly buckled up in a rear
seat. According to crash statistics,
children are safer when properly re­strained in the rear seats rather than
in the front.

WARNING!

• “Extreme Hazard! Do not use a
rearward-facing child restraint
on a seat protected by an air bag
in front of it!” Refer to visor and
door shut face mounted labels for
information.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

• In a collision, an unrestrained
child, even a tiny baby, can be­come a projectile inside the ve­hicle. The force required to hold
even an infant on your lap could
become so great that you could
not hold the child, no matter how
strong you are. The child and oth­ers could be badly injured. Any
child riding in your vehicle
should be in a proper restraint for
the child's size.

Infants And Child Restraints

Safety experts recommend that chil­dren ride rearward-facing in the ve­hicle until they are two years old or
until they reach either the height or
weight limit of their rear facing child
safety seat. Two types of child re­straints can be used rearward-facing:
infant carriers and convertible child
seats.

The infant carrier is only used
rearward-facing in the vehicle. It is
recommended for children from birth
until they reach the weight or height
limit of the infant carrier. Convertible
child seats can be used either
rearward-facing or forward-facing in
the vehicle. Convertible child seats of­ten have a higher weight limit in the
rearward-facing direction than infant
carriers do, so they can be used
rearward-facing by children who
have outgrown their infant carrier but
are still less than at least two years
old. Children should remain
rearward-facing until they reach the
highest weight or height allowed by
their convertible child seat.

WARNING!

• Never place a rear facing infant
seat in front of an air bag. A de­ploying Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag can cause death or
serious injury to a child 12 years
or younger, including a child in a
rearward facing infant seat.

• Only use a rearward-facing child
restraint in a vehicle with a rear
seat.

Older Children And Child
Restraints

Children who are two years old or who
have outgrown their rear-facing con­vertible child seat can ride forward­facing in the vehicle. Forward-facing
child seats and convertible child seats
used in the forward-facing direction
are for children who are over two
years old or who have outgrown the
rear-facing weight or height limit of
their rear-facing convertible child
seat. Children should remain in a

forward-facing child seat with a har­ness for as long as possible, up to the
highest weight or height allowed by
the child seat.

All children whose weight or height is
above the forward-facing limit for the
child seat should use a belt­positioning booster seat until the ve­hicle’s seat belts fit properly. If the
child cannot sit with knees bent over
the vehicle’s seat cushion while the
child’s back is against the seatback,
they should use a belt-positioning
booster seat. The child and belt­positioning booster seat are held in
the vehicle by the seat belt.

WARNING!

• Improper installation can lead to
failure of an infant or child re­straint. It could come loose in a
collision. The child could be
badly injured or killed. Follow
the child restraint manufacturer’s
directions exactly when installing
an infant or child restraint.

(Continued)

60

WARNING! (Continued)

• When your child restraint is not
in use, secure it in the vehicle with
the seat belt or ISOFIX anchor­ages, or remove it from the ve­hicle. Do not leave it loose in the
vehicle. In a sudden stop or acci­dent, it could strike the occupants
or seatbacks and cause serious
personal injury.

Children Too Large For Booster
Seats

Children who are large enough to
wear the shoulder belt comfortably,
and whose legs are long enough to
bend over the front of the seat when
their back is against the seatback,

should use the seat belt in a rear seat.
Use this simple 5-step test to decide
whether the child can use the vehicle’s
seat belt alone:

1. Can the child sit all the way back
against the back of the vehicle seat?

2. Do the child’s knees bend comfort­ably over the front of the vehicle seat –
while they are still sitting all the way
back?

3. Does the shoulder belt cross the
child’s shoulder between their neck
and arm?

4. Is the lap part of the belt as low as
possible, touching the child’s thighs
and not their stomach?

5. Can the child stay seated like this
for the whole trip?

If the answer to any of these questions
was “no,” then the child still needs to
use a booster seat in this vehicle. If the
child is using the lap/shoulder belt,
check belt fit periodically. A child’s
squirming or slouching can move the
belt out of position. If the shoulder
belt contacts the face or neck, move
the child closer to the center of the
vehicle. Never allow a child to put the
shoulder belt under an arm or behind
their back.

ISOFIX Restraint System

Your vehicle is equipped with the
child restraint anchorage system
called ISOFIX. The ISOFIX system
has three vehicle anchor points for
installing ISOFIX-equipped child
seats. There are two lower anchorages
located at the back of the seat cushion
where it meets the seatback and one
top tether anchorage located behind
the seating position. These anchor­ages are used to install ISOFIX­equipped child seats without using

The ISOFIX-Compatible Child Re­straint System” for typical installa­tion instructions.

Always follow the directions of the
child restraint manufacturer when in­stalling your child restraint. Not all
child restraint systems will be in­stalled as described here.

63

To Install An ISOFIX-compatible
Child Restraint

1. If the selected seating position has
a Switchable Automatic Locking Re­tractor (ALR) seat belt, stow the seat
belt, following the instructions below.
See the section “Installing Child Re­straints Using the Vehicle Seat Belt”
to check what type of seat belt each
seating position has.

2. Loosen the adjusters on the lower
connectors and on the tether strap of
the child seat so that you can more
easily attach the connectors to the ve­hicle anchorages.

3. Place the child seat between the
lower anchorages for that seating po­sition. For some second row seats, you
may need to recline the seat and / or
raise the head restraint to get a better
fit. If the rear seat can be moved for­ward and rearward in the vehicle, you
may wish to move it to its rear-most
position to make room for the child
seat. You may also move the front seat
forward to allow more room for the
car seat.

4. Attach the connectors of the child
restraint to the lower anchorages in
the selected seating position.

5. If the child restraint has a tether
strap, connect it to the top tether an­chorage. See the section “Installing
Child Restraints Using the Top Tether
Anchorage” for directions to attach a
tether anchor.

6. Tighten all of the straps as you
push the child restraint rearward and
downward into the seat. Remove
slack in the straps according to the
child restraint manufacturer’s in­structions.

7. Test that the child restraint is in­stalled tightly by pulling back and
forth on the child seat at the belt path.
It should not move more than 25.4
mm in any direction.

WARNING!

Child restraint anchorages are de­signed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly-fitted
child restraints. Under no circum­stances are they to be used for adult
seat belts, harnesses, or for attach­ing other items or equipment to the
vehicle.

How To Stow An Unused ALR
Seatbelt

When using the ISOFIX attaching
system to install a child restraint, stow
all ALR seat belts that are not being
used by other occupants or being used
to secure child restraints. An unused
belt could injure a child if they play
with it and accidentally lock the seat­belt retractor. Before installing a child
restraint using the ISOFIX system,
buckle the seat belt behind the child
restraint and out of the child’s reach.
If the buckled seat belt interferes with
the child restraint installation, instead
of buckling it behind the child re­straint, route the seat belt through the
child restraint belt path and then
buckle it. Do not lock the seatbelt.

64

Remind all children in the vehicle that
the seat belts are not toys and that
they should not play with them.

WARNING!

Improper installation of a child re­straint to the ISOFIX anchorages
can lead to failure of an infant or
child restraint. The child could be
badly injured or killed. Follow the
manufacturer's directions exactly
when installing an infant or child
restraint.

Installing Child Restraints Using
The Vehicle Seat Belt

The seat belts in the passenger seating
positions are equipped with either a
Switchable Automatic Locking Re­tractor (ALR) or a cinching latch
plate or both. Both types of seat belts
are designed to keep the lap portion of
the seat belt tight around the child
restraint so that it is not necessary to
use a locking clip. The ALR retractor
can be “switched” into a locked mode
by pulling all of the webbing out of

the retractor and then letting the web­bing retract back into the retractor. If
it is locked, the ALR will make a
clicking noise while the webbing is
pulled back into the retractor. For
additional information on ALR, refer
to the “Automatic Locking Mode” de­scription under “Occupant Re­straints.” The cinching latch plate is
designed to hold the lap portion of the
seatbelt tight when webbing is pulled
tight and straight through a child re­straint’s belt path.

Installing A Child Restraint With
A Switchable Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR)

1. Place the child seat in the center of
the seating position. For some second
row seats, you may need to recline the
seat and/or raise the head restraint to
get a better fit. If the rear seat can be
moved forward and rearward in the
vehicle, you may wish to move it to its
rear-most position to make room for
the child seat. You may also move the
front seat forward to allow more room
for the car seat.

2. Pull enough of the seat belt web­bing from the retractor to pass it
through the belt path of the child re­straint. Do not twist the belt webbing
in the belt path.

3. Slide the latch plate into the
buckle until you hear a “click.”

4. Pull on the webbing to make the
lap portion tight against the child
seat.

5. To lock the seat belt, pull down on
the shoulder part of the belt until you
have pulled all the seat belt webbing
out of the retractor. Then, allow the
webbing to retract back into the re­tractor. As the webbing retracts, you
will hear a clicking sound. This means
the seat belt is now in the Automatic
Locking mode.

6. Try to pull the webbing out of the
retractor. If it is locked, you should
not be able to pull out any webbing. If
the retractor is not locked, repeat step

5.

65

7. Finally, pull up on any excess web­bing to tighten the lap portion around
the child restraint while you push the
child restraint rearward and down­ward into the vehicle seat.

8. If the child restraint has a top
tether strap and the seating position
has a top tether anchorage, connect
the tether strap to the anchorage and
tighten the tether strap. See the sec­tion “Installing Child Restraints Us­ing the Top Tether Anchorage” for
directions to attach a tether anchor.

9. Test that the child restraint is in­stalled tightly by pulling back and
forth on the child seat at the belt path.
It should not move more than 25.4
mm in any direction.

Any seat belt system will loosen with
time, so check the belt occasionally,
and pull it tight if necessary.

Child Restraint With A Cinching
Latch Plate (CINCH) — (for
versions/markets where provided)

1. Place the child seat in the center of
the seating position. For some second
row seats, you may need to recline the
seat and / or raise the head restraint to
get a better fit. If the rear seat can be
moved forward and rearward in the
vehicle, you may wish to move it to its
rear-most position to make room for
the child seat. You may also move the
front seat forward to allow more room
for the car seat.

2. Next, pull enough of the seat belt
webbing from the retractor to pass it
through the belt path of the child re­straint. Do not twist the belt webbing
in the belt path.

3. Slide the latch plate into the
buckle until you hear a “click.”

4. Finally, pull up on any excess web­bing to tighten the lap portion around
the child restraint while you push the
child restraint rearward and down­ward into the vehicle seat.

5. If the child restraint has a top
tether strap and the seating position
has a top tether anchorage, connect
the tether strap to the anchorage and
tighten the tether strap. Refer to “In­stalling Child Restraints Using The
Top Tether Anchorage” for directions
to attach a tether anchor.

6. Test that the child restraint is in­stalled tightly by pulling back and
forth on the child seat at the belt path.
It should not move more than 25.4
mm in any direction.

Any seat belt system will loosen with
time, so check the belt occasionally,
and pull it tight if necessary.

If the buckle or the cinching latch
plate is too close to the belt path open­ing of the child restraint, you may
have trouble tightening the seat belt.
If this happens, disconnect the latch
plate from the buckle and twist the
short buckle-end belt up to three full
turns to shorten it. Insert the latch
plate into the buckle with the release
button facing out, away from the

66

child restraint. Repeat steps 4 to 6,
above, to complete the installation of
the child restraint.

If the belt still cannot be tightened
after you shorten the buckle, discon­nect the latch plate from the buckle,
turn the buckle around one half turn,
and insert the latch plate into the
buckle again. If you still cannot make
the child restraint installation tight,
try a different seating position.

Installing Child Restraints Using
The Top Tether Anchorage

1. Look behind the seating position
where you plan to install the child
restraint to find the tether anchorage.
You may need to move the seat for­ward to provide better access to the
tether anchorage. If there is no top
tether anchorage for that seating po­sition, move the child restraint to an­other position in the vehicle if one is
available.

2. Route the tether strap to provide
the most direct path for the strap be­tween the anchor and the child seat. If
your vehicle is equipped with adjust­able rear head restraints, raise the
head restraint, and where possible,
route the tether strap under the head
restraint and between the two posts. If
not possible, lower the head restraint
and pass the tether strap around the
outboard side of the head restraint.

3. Attach the tether strap hook of the
child restraint to the top tether an­chorage as shown in the diagram.

Rear Seat Tether Strap Mounting

(Second Row Anchorage Shown)

ISOFIX Anchorages (Third Row

60/40 Anchorage Shown)

4. Remove slack in the tether strap
according to the child restraint manu­facturer’s instructions.

WARNING!

• An incorrectly anchored tether
strap could lead to increased head
motion and possible injury to the
child. Use only the anchorage po­sition directly behind the child
seat to secure a child restraint top
tether strap.

• If your vehicle is equipped with a
split rear seat, make sure the
tether strap does not slip into the
opening between the seatbacks as
you remove slack in the strap.

67

Transporting Pets

Air Bags deploying in the front seat
could harm your pet. An unrestrained
pet could be thrown about and possi­bly injured, or injure a passenger dur­ing panic braking or in a collision.

Pets should be restrained in the rear
seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers
that are secured by seat belts.

ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS

A long break-in period is not required
for the engine and drivetrain (trans­mission and axle) in your vehicle.

Drive moderately during the first
500 km. After the initial 100 km,
speeds up to 80 or 90 km/h are desir­able.

While cruising, brief full-throttle ac­celeration within the limits of local
traffic laws contributes to a good
break-in. Wide-open throttle accel­eration in low gear can be detrimental
and should be avoided.

The engine oil installed in the engine
at the factory is a high-quality energy
conserving type lubricant. Oil
changes should be consistent with an­ticipated climate conditions under
which vehicle operations will occur.
For the recommended viscosity and
quality grades, refer to “Maintenance
Procedures” in “Maintaining Your Ve­hicle”. NON-DETERGENT OR
STRAIGHT MINERAL OILS MUST
NEVER BE USED.

A new engine may consume some oil
during its first few thousand kilome­ters of operation. This should be con­sidered a normal part of the break-in
and not interpreted as an indication of
difficulty.

ADDITIONAL
REQUIREMENTS FOR
DIESEL ENGINE

During the first 1500 km avoid heavy
loads, e.g. driving at full throttle. Do
not exceed 2/3 of the maximum per­missible engine speed for each gear.
Change gear in good time. Do not shift
down a gear manually in order to
brake.

SAFETY TIPS

TRANSPORTING
PASSENGERS

NEVER TRANSPORT PASSEN­GERS IN THE CARGO AREA.

WARNING!

• Do not leave children or animals
inside parked vehicles in hot
weather. Interior heat build-up
may cause serious injury or
death.

• It is extremely dangerous to ride
in a cargo area, inside or outside
of a vehicle. In a collision, people
riding in these areas are more
likely to be seriously injured or
killed.

• Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat
belts.

• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is
in a seat and using a seat belt
properly.

68

EXHAUST GAS

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. To avoid breathing (CO),
follow these safety tips:

• Do not run the engine in a closed
garage or in confined areas any
longer than needed to move your
vehicle in or out of the area.

• If you are required to drive with
the trunk/liftgate/rear doors
open, make sure that all windows
are closed and the climate control
BLOWER switch is set at high
speed. DO NOT use the recircula­tion mode.

• If it is necessary to sit in a parked
vehicle with the engine running,
adjust your heating or cooling
controls to force outside air into
the vehicle. Set the blower at high
speed.

The best protection against carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle body
is a properly maintained engine ex­haust system.

Whenever a change is noticed in the
sound of the exhaust system, when
exhaust fumes can be detected inside
the vehicle, or when the underside or
rear of the vehicle is damaged, have a
competent mechanic inspect the com­plete exhaust system and adjacent
body areas for broken, damaged, de­teriorated, or mispositioned parts.
Open seams or loose connections
could permit exhaust fumes to seep
into the passenger compartment. In
addition, inspect the exhaust system
each time the vehicle is raised for lu­brication or oil change. Replace as
required.

SAFETY CHECKS YOU
SHOULD MAKE INSIDE
THE VEHICLE

Seat Belts

Inspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, and loose

parts. Damaged parts must be re­placed immediately. Do not disas­semble or modify the system.

Front seat belt assemblies must be
replaced after a collision. Rear seat
belt assemblies must be replaced after
a collision if they have been damaged
(i.e., bent retractor, torn webbing,
etc.). If there is any question regard­ing belt or retractor condition, replace
the belt.

Air Bag Warning Light

The light should come on
and remain on for four to
eight seconds as a bulb

check when the ignition
switch is first turned ON. If the light is
not lit during starting, see your autho­rized dealer. If the light stays on,
flickers, or comes on while driving,
have the system checked by an autho­rized dealer.

Defroster

Check operation by selecting the de­frost mode and place the blower con­trol on high speed. You should be able

69

to feel the air directed against the
windshield. See your authorized
dealer for service if your defroster is
inoperable.

Floor Mat Safety Information

Always use floor mats designed to fit
the footwell of your vehicle. Use only
floor mats that leave the pedal area
unobstructed and that are firmly se­cured so that they cannot slip out of
position and interfere with the pedals
or impair safe operation of your ve­hicle in other ways.

WARNING!

Pedals that cannot move freely can
cause loss of vehicle control and
increase the risk of serious personal
injury.

• Always make sure that floor mats
are properly attached to the floor
mat fasteners.

• Never place or install floor mats
or other floor coverings in the ve­hicle that cannot be properly se­cured to prevent them from mov­ing and interfering with the
pedals or the ability to control the
vehicle.

• Never put floor mats or other
floor coverings on top of already
installed floor mats. Additional
floor mats and other coverings
will reduce the size of the pedal
area and interfere with the ped­als.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

• Check mounting of mats on a
regular basis. Always properly re­install and secure floor mats that
have been removed for cleaning.

• Always make sure that objects
cannot fall into the driver foot­well while the vehicle is moving.
Objects can become trapped un­der the brake pedal and accelera­tor pedal causing a loss of vehicle
control.

• If required, mounting posts must
be properly installed, if not
equipped from the factory.

Failure to properly follow floor mat
installation or mounting can cause
interference with the brake pedal
and accelerator pedal operation
causing loss of control of the ve­hicle.

70

PERIODIC SAFETY
CHECKS YOU SHOULD
MAKE OUTSIDE THE
VEHICLE

Tires

Examine tires for excessive tread wear
and uneven wear patterns. Check for
stones, nails, glass, or other objects
lodged in the tread or sidewall. In­spect the tread for cuts and cracks.
Inspect sidewalls for cuts, cracks and
bulges. Check the wheel nuts for
tightness. Check the tires (including
spare) for proper cold inflation pres­sure.

Lights

Have someone observe the operation
of brake lights and exterior lights
while you work the controls. Check
turn signal and high beam indicator
lights on the instrument panel.

Door Latches

Check for positive closing, latching,
and locking.

Fluid Leaks

Check area under vehicle after over­night parking for fuel, engine coolant,
oil, or other fluid leaks. Also, if gaso­line fumes are detected or if fuel,
power steering fluid (if equipped), or
brake fluid leaks are suspected, the
cause should be located and corrected
immediately.

clean cloth and wipe the mirror
clean.

OUTSIDE MIRRORS

To receive maximum benefit, adjust
the outside mirror(s) to center on the
adjacent lane of traffic with a slight
overlap of the view obtained on the
inside mirror.

WARNING!

Vehicles and other objects seen in
an outside convex mirror will look
smaller and farther away than they
really are. Relying too much on side
convex mirrors could cause you to
collide with another vehicle or
other object. Use your inside mirror
when judging the size or distance of
a vehicle seen in a side convex mir­ror.

82

DRIVER'S AUTOMATIC

TILT MIRRORS IN
REVERSE (available with
memory seat only), (for
versions/markets, where
provided)

Tilt Mirrors in Reverse provides auto­matic outside mirror positioning
which will aid the drivers view of the
ground rearward of the front doors.
The driver's outside mirror will move
slightly downward from the present
position when the vehicle is shifted
into REVERSE. The driver's outside

83

mirror will then return to the original
position when the vehicle is shifted
out of REVERSE position. Each
stored memory setting will have an
associated Tilt Mirrors in Reverse po­sition.

NOTE: The Tilt Mirrors in Re­verse feature is not enabled when
delivered from the factory. The Tilt
Mirrors in Reverse feature can be
enabled or disabled in the Elec­tronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC). Refer to “Electronic Ve­hicle Information Center (EVIC)/
Customer-Programmable Fea­tures” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further in­formation.

POWER FOLDING

versions/markets, where
provided)

The switch for the power folding mir­rors is located between the power mir­ror switches L (left) and R (right).
Press the switch once and the mirrors

will fold in, pressing the switch a sec­ond time will return the mirrors to the
normal driving position.

Power Folding Mirror Switch

If the mirrors are in the folded posi­tion, and vehicle speed is equal or
greater than 16 km/h, they will auto­matically unfold.

ILLUMINATED VANITY
MIRRORS (for
versions/markets, where
provided)

An illuminated vanity mirror is lo­cated on the sun visor. To use the
mirror, rotate the sun visor down and
swing the mirror cover upward. The
lights turn on automatically. Closing
the mirror cover turns off the lights.

Illuminated Mirror

BLIND SPOT
MONITORING (BSM) (for
versions/markets, where
provided)

The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
system uses two radar-based sensors,
located inside the rear bumper fascia,
to detect highway licensable vehicles
(automobiles, trucks, motorcycles,
etc.) that enter the blind spot zones
from the rear/front/side of the ve­hicle.

84

Rear Detection Zones Sensor Locations

When the vehicle is started, the BSM
warning light will momentarily illu­minate in both outside rear view mir­rors to let the driver know that the
system is operational. The BSM sys­tem sensors operate when the vehicle
is in any forward gear or REVERSE
and enters stand-by mode when the
vehicle is in PARK.

The BSM detection zone covers ap­proximately one lane on both sides of
the vehicle or 3.8 m. The zone starts
at the outside rear view mirror and
extends approximately 7 m to the rear
of the vehicle. The BSM system moni­tors the detection zones on both sides
of the vehicle when the vehicle speed
reaches approximately 10 km/h or
higher and will alert the driver of ve­hicles in these areas.

NOTE:

• The BSM system does NOT alert
the driver about rapidly ap­proaching vehicles that are out­side the detection zones.

• The BSM system detection zone
DOES NOT change if your ve­hicle is towing a trailer. There­fore, visually verify the adjacent
lane is clear for both your ve­hicle and trailer before making
a lane change. If the trailer or
other object (i.e., bicycle, sports
equipment) extends beyond the
side of your vehicle, this may re­sult in the BSM warning light
remaining illuminated the en­tire time the vehicle is in a for­ward gear.

The area on the rear fascia where the
radar sensors are located must remain
free of snow, ice, and dirt/road con­tamination so that the BSM system
can function properly. Do not block
the area of the rear fascia where the
radar sensors are located with foreign
objects (bumper stickers, bicycle
racks, etc.).

The BSM system notifies the driver of
objects in the detection zones by illu­minating the BSM warning light lo­cated in the outside mirrors in addi­tion to sounding an audible (chime)
alert and reducing the radio volume.
Refer to “Modes Of Operation” for
further information.

BSM Warning Light

The BSM system monitors the detec­tion zone from three different entry
points (side, rear, front) while driving

85

to see if an alert is necessary. The BSM
system will issue an alert during these
types of zone entries.

Entering From The Side

Vehicles that move into your adjacent
lanes from either side of the vehicle.

Side Monitoring

Entering From The Rear

Vehicles that come up from behind
your vehicle on either side and enter
the rear detection zone with a relative
speed of less than 48 km/h.

86

Rear Monitoring

Overtaking Traffic

If you pass another vehicle slowly
with a relative speed of less than
24 km/h and the vehicle remains in
the blind spot for approximately 1.5
seconds, the warning light will be il­luminated. If the difference in speed
between the two vehicles is greater
than 24 km/h, the warning light will
not illuminate.

Overtaking/Approaching

Overtaking/Passing

The BSM system is designed not to
issue an alert on stationary objects
such as guardrails, posts, walls, foli­age, berms, etc. However, occasion­ally the system may alert on such ob­jects. This is normal operation and
your vehicle does not require service.

Stationary Objects

The BSM system will not alert you of
objects that are traveling in the oppo­site direction of the vehicle in adjacent
lanes.

Opposing Traffic

WARNING!

The Blind Spot Monitoring system
is only an aid to help detect objects
in the blind spot zones. The BSM
system is not designed to detect pe­destrians, bicyclists, or animals.
Even if your vehicle is equipped
with the BSM system, always check
your vehicle's mirrors, glance over
your shoulder, and use your turn
signal before changing lanes. Fail­ure to do so can result in serious
injury or death.

REAR CROSS PATH (for
versions/markets, where
provided)

The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is
intended to aid the driver when back­ing out of parking spaces where their
vision of oncoming vehicles may be
blocked. Proceed slowly and cautiously
out of the parking space until the rear
end of the vehicle is exposed. The RCP
system will then have a clear view of
the cross traffic and if an oncoming
vehicle is detected, alert the driver.

RCP Detection Zones

RCP monitors the rear detection
zones on both sides of the vehicle, for
objects that are moving toward the
side of the vehicle with a minimum
speed of approximately 5 km/h, to
objects moving a maximum of ap­proximately 32 km/h, such as in
parking lot situations.

NOTE: In a parking lot situation,
oncoming vehicles can be ob­scured by vehicles parked on ei­ther side. If the sensors are
blocked by other structures or ve­hicles, the system will not be able
to alert the driver.

When RCP is on and the vehicle is in
REVERSE, the driver is alerted using
both the visual and audible alarms,
including reducing the radio volume.

87

WARNING!

RCP is not a Back Up Aid system. It
is intended to be used to help a
driver detect an oncoming vehicle
in a parking lot situation. Drivers
must be careful when backing up,
even when using RCP. Always
check carefully behind your ve­hicle, look behind you, and be sure
to check for pedestrians, animals,
other vehicles, obstructions, and
blind spots before backing up. Fail­ure to do so can result in serious
injury or death.

MODES OF OPERATION

Modes Of Operation With EVIC

Three selectable modes of operation
are available in the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC). Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Cen­ter (EVIC)/Personal Settings
(Customer-Programmable Fea­tures)” in “Understanding Your In­strument Panel” for further informa­tion.

Modes Of Operation With
Uconnect® System — (for
versions/markets, where pro­vided)

Three selectable modes of operation
are available in the Uconnect® sys­tem screen. Refer to “Customer- Pro­grammable Features — Uconnect®
Access settings ” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.

Blind Spot Alert Lights Only

When operating in Blind Spot Alert
mode, the BSM system will provide a
visual alert in the appropriate side
view mirror based on a detected ob­ject. However, when the system is op­erating in RCP, the system will re­spond with both visual and audible
alerts when a detected object is pres­ent. Whenever an audible alert is re­quested, the radio volume is reduced.

Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime

When operating in Blind Spot Alert
Lights/Chime mode, the BSM system
will provide a visual alert in the ap­propriate side view mirror based on a

detected object. If the turn signal is
then activated, and it corresponds to
an alert present on that side of the
vehicle, an audible chime will also be
sounded. Whenever a turn signal and
detected object are present on the
same side at the same time, both the
visual and audio alerts will be issued.
In addition to the audible alert the
radio (if on) volume will be reduced.

NOTE:

• Whenever an audible alert is re­quested by the BSM system, the
radio volume is reduced.

• If the hazard flashers are on, the
system will request the appropriate
visual alert only.

When the system is in RCP, the system
shall respond with both visual and
audible alerts when a detected object
is present. Whenever an audible alert
is requested, the radio volume is re­duced. Turn/hazard signal status is
ignored; the RCP state always re­quests the chime.

88

Blind Spot Alert Off

When the BSM system is turned off
there will be no visual or audible
alerts from either the BSM or RCP
systems.

NOTE: The BSM system will store
the current operating mode when
the vehicle is shut off. Each time
the vehicle is started the previ­ously stored mode will be recalled
and used

with Navigation or Multimedia ra­dio, refer to the Navigation or Mul­timedia radio's User's Manual
(separate booklet) Uconnect®
Phone section.

Uconnect® Phone is a voice­activated, hands-free, in-vehicle com­munications system. Uconnect®
Phone allows you to dial a phone
number with your mobile phone* us­ing simple voice commands (e.g.,
“Call”…“Jim”… “Work” or
“Dial”…“151-1234 -5555”). Your
mobile phone's audio is transmitted

through your vehicle's audio system;
the system will automatically mute
your radio when using the Uconnect®
Phone.

Uconnect® Phone allows you to
transfer calls between the Uconnect®
Phone and your mobile phone as you
enter or exit your vehicle and enables
you to mute the Uconnect® Phone's
microphone for private conversation.

The Uconnect® Phone is driven
through your Bluetooth® “Hands­Free profile” mobile phone.

Bluetooth® technology - the global
standard that enables different elec­tronic devices to connect to each other
without wires or a docking station, so
Uconnect® Phone works no matter
where you stow your mobile phone
(be it your purse, pocket, or brief­case), as long as your phone is turned
on and has been paired to the vehicle's
Uconnect® Phone. The Uconnect®
Phone allows up to seven mobile
phones to be linked to the system.
Only one linked (or paired) mobile
phone can be used with the

Uconnect® Phone at a time. The
Uconnect® Phone is available in Eng­lish, Dutch, French, German, Italian
or Spanish languages (as equipped).

WARNING!

OPERATION

Voice commands can be used to oper­ate the Uconnect® Phone and to navi­gate through the Uconnect® Phone
menu structure. Voice commands are
required after most Uconnect® Phone
prompts. You will be prompted for a
specific command and then guided
through the available options.

• Prior to giving a voice command,
one must wait for the beep, which
follows the “Ready” prompt or an­other prompt.

• For certain operations, compound
commands can be used. For ex­ample, instead of saying “Setup”
and then “Phone Pairing”, the fol­lowing compound command can be
said: “Setup Phone Pairing”.

• For each feature explanation in this
section, only the compound form of
the voice command is given. You
can also break the commands into
parts and say each part of the com­mand when you are asked for it.
For example, you can use the com­pound form voice command
“Phonebook New Entry”, or you
can break the compound form
command into two voice com­mands: “Phonebook” and “New
Entry”. Please remember, the
Uconnect® Phone works best when
you talk in a normal conversational
tone, as if speaking to someone sit­ting a few meters away from you.
