Front Passenger Seat Fold-Flat
Feature — If Equipped
To fold the seatback to the flat load-floor posi-
tion, lift the recline lever and push the seatback
forward. To return to the seating position, raise
the seatback and lock it into place.
Heated Seats — If EquippedOn some models, the front and rear seats may
be equipped with heaters in both the seat
cushions and seatbacks.

•Persons who are unable to feel pain to the
skin because of advanced age, chronic
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.
CAUTION!
Repeated overheating of the seat could dam-
age the heating element and/or degrade the
material of the seat. Vehicles Equipped with Remote Start
On models that are equipped with remote start,
the driver’s heated seat can be programmed to

Ventilated Seats — If EquippedOn some models, both the driver and passen-
ger seats are ventilated. Located in the seat
cushion and seatback are small fans that draw
the air from the passenger compartment and
blow air through fine perforations in 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.
Press the switch once
to choose HIGH, press
it a second time to
choose LOW. Pressing
the switch a third time
will turn the ventilated
seat OFF. When HIGH speed is selected both lights on the switch will be illuminated. When
LOW speed is selected one light will be illumi-
nated.

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

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-

light switch is cycled off. Headlight delay can
be cancelled by either turning the headlight
switch on then off, or by turning the ignition ON.
The headlight delay time is programmable on
vehicles equipped with an Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC). Refer to “Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/Customer-
Programmable Features” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
