At any time, you can say the words “Can-
cel”, “Help” or “Main Menu”. These commands are universal and can be
used from any menu. All other commands can
be used depending upon the active applica-
tion.
When using this system, you should speak
clearly and at a normal speaking volume.
The system will best recognize your speech if
the windows are closed, and the heater/air
conditioning fan is set to low.

illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medi-
cation, alcohol use, exhaustion or other
physical condition must exercise care when
using the seat heater. It 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. This may cause the seat heater to
overheat. Sitting in a seat that has been
overheated could cause serious burns due
to the increased surface temperature of the
seat.

cover to help keep the driver and front passen-
ger cooler in higher ambient temperatures.
There are two ventilated seat switches that
allow the driver and passenger to operate the
seats independently. The ventilated seat
switches are located on the switch bank in the
center stack of the instrument panel, just below
the climate controls.The ventilated seat
switches are used to
control the speed of the
fans located in the seat.

lated seats to operate.
Vehicles Equipped with Remote Start
On models that are equipped with remote start,
the driver’s ventilated seat can be programmed
to come on during a remote start. Refer to
“Remote Starting System — If Equipped” in
“Things to Know Before Starting Your Vehicle”
for further information.
Head RestraintsHead restraints are designed to reduce the risk
of injury by restricting head movement in the
event of a rear-impact. Head restraints should
be adjusted so that the top of the head restraint
is located above the top of your ear.
WARNING!
The head restraints for all occupants must be
properly adjusted prior to operating the ve-
hicle or occupying a seat. Head restraints
should never be adjusted while the vehicle is
in motion. Driving a vehicle with the head
restraints improperly adjusted or removed
could cause serious injury or death in the
event of a collision.
Active Head Restraints — Front Seats
Active Head Restraints are passive, deployable
components, and vehicles with this equipment
cannot be readily identified by any markings,
only through visual inspection of the head re-
straint. The head restraint will be split in two
halves, with the front half being soft foam and
trim, the back half being decorative plastic.
When AHRs deploy during a rear impact, the
front half of the head restraint extends forward
to minimize the gap between the back of the
occupant’s head and the AHR. This system is
designed to help prevent or reduce the extent
of injuries to the driver and front passenger in
certain types of rear impacts. Refer to “Occu-
99

pant Restraints” in “Things To Know Before
Starting Your Vehicle” for further information.
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the
head restraint. To lower the head restraint,
press the push button, located at the base of
the head restraint, and push downward on the
head restraint.
For comfort the Active Head Restraints can be
tilted forward and rearward. To tilt the head
restraint closer to the back of your head, pull
forward on the bottom of the head restraint.
Push rearward on the bottom of the head
restraint to move the head restraint away from
your head.NOTE:
•
The head restraints should only be re-
moved by qualified technicians, for ser-
vice purposes only. If either of the head
restraints require removal, see your au-
thorized dealer.
• In the event of deployment of an Active
Head Restraint, refer to “Occupant
Restraints/Resetting Active Head Re-
straints (AHR)” in “Things to Know Be-
fore Starting Your Vehicle” for further in-
formation.
WARNING!
• Do not place items over the top of the
Active Head Restraint, such as coats, seat
covers or portable DVD players. These
items may interfere with the operation of
the Active Head Restraint in the event of a
collision and could result in serious injury or
death.
