Heated Seats
Your vehicle has heated
front seats. The buttons
used to control this feature
are located on the front
door armrests. The engine
must be running for the
heated seat feature
to work.
To heat the entire seat, press the horizontal button
with the heated seat and seatback symbol. Press the
button to cycle through the temperature settings of high,
medium, and low and to turn the heated seat off.
The indicator lights above the button will come on to
designate the level of heat selected: three for high,
two for medium, and one for low. The low setting warms
the seatback and seat cushion until the seat temperature
is near body temperature. The medium and high
settings heat the seatback and seat cushion to a slightly
higher temperature. You will be able to feel heat in
about two minutes.To heat only the seatback, press the vertical button with
the heated seatback symbol. An indicator light on the
button will come on to designate that only the seatback
is being heated. Additional presses will cycle through
the heat levels for the seatback only.
The feature will shut off automatically when the ignition
is turned off.

feature, the controls for the
memory function are
located on the driver door.
These buttons are used to program and recall memory
settings for the driver’s seating position and the
adjustable pedals, if equipped. The settings for these
features can be saved for up to two drivers.
