Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Center Console

Heated seats:

The switches are located below the radio, these controls allow you to choose three settings, HI, LO, or OFF for the driver and passenger seats. If you choose HI, the system will automatically switch to LO after ten minutes.

Spoiler:

The front fascia, rear spoiler and underbody diffuser shapes of the vehicle have been specially tuned to provide optimal aerodynamic balance at all speeds. The spoiler deploys automatically when the vehicle reaches approximately 100 kph (60 mph). It takes the electric motor 2 to 5 seconds to fully deploy the spoiler.

The rear spoiler can also be manually deployed at lower speeds by pressing the top portion of the spoiler override switch, located to the right of the drivers heated seat switch. The spoiler will not retract automatically after being manually deployed. To retract, press and hold the bottom of the spoiler switch until you hear a short beep, confirming that the spoiler has fully retracted and that automatic control has been restored.

A chime will sound at approximately 136 kph (85 mph) if the spoiler does not automatically deploy.

Electronic Stability Program (ESP):

This system enhances direction control and reduces driving wheel spin under various driving conditions; it activates automatically every time the vehicle is started, to improve the vehicle's traction when starting off in deep snow, sand, or gravel. Switch the system off by pressing the upper half of the ESP switch.

Central Locking:

With both doors closed, press the bottom of the central locking switch, located to the right of the hazard switch, to lock doors and rear lift gate; press the top to unlock. If the vehicle was initially locked with the central locking switch, the door and rear liftgate will automatically unlock when a door is opened from the inside.

Anti Tow-Away Alarm:

If any attempt is made to raise the vehicle, the exterior lights will flash and the alarm will sound for three minutes (even if the vehicle is immediately lowered to it's original position). To cancel the alarm, insert the key into the ignition. The tow-away alarm switch is located on the console: press and release the lower portion of the switch to activate; press and release the upper portion to deactivate the alarm.

Transmission Program Mode Switch (W/S on the console):

The vehicle is equipped with a Program Mode Selector switch. For all regular driving, use Standard mode - the "S" symbol on the switch. For Winter/Wet (snow and ice) mode, press the "W" symbol on the switch; "W" mode helps to improve traction and driving stability of the vehicle.
