WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the head restraints removed or
improperly adjusted could cause serious injury or
death in the event of a collision. The head restraints
should always be checked prior to operating the
vehicle and never adjusted while the vehicle is in
motion. Always adjust the head restraints when the
vehicle is in PARK.
Front Heated Seats — If Equipped
The controls for each heater are located near the bottom
center of the instrument panel (below the heater/air
conditioning controls).
After turning the ignition ON, you can choose from High,
Low or Off heat settings. Amber indicator lights in each
switch indicate the level of heat in use. Two indicator
lights will illuminate for High, one for Low and none for
Off.Press the switch once to select High-level heat-
ing. Press the switch a second time to select
Low-level heating. Press the switch a third time
to shut the heating elements Off.
When High-level heating is selected, the heaters provide
a boosted heat level during the first four minutes of
operation after heating is activated. The heat output then
drops to the normal High-level. If High-level heating is
selected, the system will automatically switch to the
Low-level after approximately 30 minutes of continuous
operation. At that time, the number of illuminated LEDs
changes from two to one, indicating the change. Opera-
tion on the Low-level setting also turns Off automatically
after approximately 30 minutes.
NOTE: Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be felt
within two to five minutes.

This system performs two functions. With the engine
running and the multifunction lever in the AUTO posi-
tion, the headlights will turn on and off based on the
surrounding light levels.
Headlights On Automatically With Wipers
If your vehicle is equipped with Automatic Headlights it
also has this customer-programmable feature. When
your headlights are in the AUTO position, and the engine
is running, they will automatically turn on when the
wiper system is on. Refer to “Headlamps On with
Wipers” under “Electronic Vehicle Information (EVIC) —
Customer-Programmable Features” in Section 4.
If your vehicle is equipped with a “Rain Sensitive Wiper
System,” and it is activated, the headlights will automati-
cally turn on after the wipers complete five wipe cycles
within approximately one minute, and they will turn offapproximately four minutes after the wipers completely
stop. Refer to “Windshield Wipers and Washers” in this
section for more information.
NOTE:
When your headlights come on during the
daytime, the instrument panel lights will automatically
dim to the lower nighttime intensity. Refer to “Instru-
ment Panel and Interior Lights” below for setting the
instrument panel lights to full daytime intensity.
SmartBeam™ — If Equipped
The SmartBeam™ system provides increased forward
lighting at night by automating high beam control
through the use of a digital camera mounted on the
inside rearview mirror. This camera detects vehicle spe-
cific light and automatically switches from high beams to
low beams until the approaching vehicle is out of view.
