Maintenance and Care
•
Cable clamps should be tight on the
terminal posts and free of corrosion.
After the battery has been
disconnected and re-connected
and before starting the engine it is
necessary to proceed as follows:
• Unlock and lock the doors using the
key fob.
• Close manually the boot lid, unlock
it with the key fob and then lock
it manually on more time. If the
vehicle is equipped with power boot
lid/Hand Free, manually perform the
complete closure. Then move the lid
automatically, using the buttons on
the lid itself, performing a complete
cycle of opening and closing. If the
limit of maximum power boot lid
opening has been set, it is necessary
to reset it (see "Open and Close
the Boot Lid" in section "Before
Starting").
• Initialise the climate control system
by activating the system and pressing
the "AUTO" control as described in
chapter "Air Conditioning Controls"
in section "Dashboard Instruments
8
and Controls".
• Turn on the MIA and set the date
and time (see "TFT Display Settings
and Menu Overview" in section
300
"Dashboard Instruments and
Controls").
• Lift, release and lift again the lever
located behind the shift lever to
inizialize the electric parking brake.
Following this operation, at the next
key cycle, the warning light on
the instrument cluster will turn off
and the error messages regarding the
unavailability of the radar functions
will also no longer be present.
• For correct activation of the approach
lights on the external mirrors, press
at least once the tilt button on the
driver's door panel so that the door
mode recognizes the mirrors position.
• If the car is equipped with power
sunshades on rear door windows,
carry out the teach-in cycle described
on chapter "Open and Close Power
Sunshades on Rear Door Windows" in
section "Before Starting".
• Start the engine and perform the
end-stop learning of EPS, steering
fully to the left and then to the right.
The EPS failure warning light and
message should disappear on the TFT
display
CAUTION!
• Every time the battery is
reconnected, wait at least 30 seconds
with the ignition device turned to
RUN before starting the engine, in
order to allow the electronic system
that manages the motor-driven
throttles to run a self-learning cycle.
At the same time, you can run the
date and time set up procedure for
the MIA.
• Every time the battery is reconnected
the warning lights and
flash for about 10 seconds then go
off.
Useful Advice to Extend
Battery Life
When parking the vehicle, make sure
that the doors, front, rear lids and
flaps are properly closed. All interior
lights should be off.
When the engine is turned off, do not
keep the connected devices switched
on for a long time (such as radio,
hazard warning lights, fan, etc.).
