injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion, or other physical
conditions, must exercise care when using the seat heater. The seat
heater may cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used
for long periods of time. Do not place anything on the seat that
insulates against heat, such as a blanket or cushion, because this may
cause the seat heater to overheat. Do not puncture the seat with pins,
needles, or other pointed objects because this may damage the heating
element which may cause the seat heater to overheat. An overheated
seat may cause serious personal injury.
Note:Do not do the following:
•Place heavy objects on the seat
•Operate the seat heater if water or any other liquid is spilled on the
seat. Allow the seat to dry thoroughly.

REARVIEW CAMERA SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The rear-view camera system,
located on the trunk, provides a
video image which appears on the
navigation screen of the area behind
the vehicle. It adds assistance to the
driver while reversing or reverse
parking the vehicle.
To use the camera system, place the
transmission in R (Reverse); an
image will display on the navigation
system screen. The area displayed
on the screen may vary according to
the vehicle orientation and/or road
condition.
•(1) Rear bumper
•(2) Red zone
•(3) Yellow zone
•(4) Green zone
Always use caution while backing.
Objects in the red zone are closest to your vehicle and objects in the
green zone are further away. Objects are getting closer to your vehicle as
they move from the green zone to the yellow or red zones.
Use the side mirrors and rear view mirror to get better coverage on both
sides and rear of the vehicle.
After shifting out of R (Reverse) and into any gear other than P (Park),
the image on the navigation screen will remain until the vehicle speed
reaches five mph (8 km/h), only if the rear camera delay feature is on, or
until any navigation radio button is depressed.
Note:The default setting for the rear camera delay is off. Push the
“Settings” button found on the navigation screen to set the rear camera
delay feature to on or off. Refer to theNavigation Supplementfor more
information.
The camera lens for the camera system is located on the trunk. Keep the
lens clean so that the video image remains clear and undistorted. Clean
the lens with a soft, lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.
