HEATED/VENTILATED SEATS
Front Heated Seats
• The controls for front heated seats arelocated near the bottom center of the
instrument panel (below the Climate
Controls).
• Press the switch once to select High-level heating. Press the switch a second time
to select Low-level heating. Press the
switch a third time to shut the heating
elements Off.
•
If the High-level setting is selected, the system will automatically switch to Low-level after
approximately 55 minutes. The Low-level setting will turn Off automatically after
approximately 45 minutes.
Front Ventilated Seats
• 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 passenger 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 illuminated.

Rear Heated Seats
• Second row heated seat switches arelocated on the rear of the center
console.
• Press the switch once to select High-level heating. Press the switch a second time
to select Low-level heating. Press the
switch a third time to shut the heating
elements Off.
• If the High-level setting is selected, the system will automatically switch to Low-level after approximately 55 minutes. The Low-level setting will turn Off automatically after
approximately 45 minutes.
WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age,chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion
or other physical conditions 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.
HEATED STEERING WHEEL
• The steering wheel contains a heatingelement that heats the steering wheel to
one temperature setting.
• The heated steering wheel switch is located on the center instrument panel
below the climate controls.
• Press the switch once to turn the heating element On. Press the switch a second
time to turn the heating element Off.
• Once the heated steering wheel has been turned on, it will operate for approximately 58 to 70 minutes before automatically shutting off. The heated steering wheel can shut
off early or may not turn on when the steering wheel is already warm.

TOW/HAUL MODE
• When driving in hilly areas, towing atrailer, carrying a heavy load, etc.,
and frequent transmission shifting
occurs, press the TOW/HAUL switch
to select TOW/HAUL mode. This will
improve performance and reduce the
potential for transmission overheating
or failure due to excessive shifting.
When operating in TOW/HAUL
mode, transmission upshifts are
delayed, and the transmission will
automatically downshift (for engine
braking) during steady braking
maneuvers.
• The “TOW/HAUL Indicator Light” will illuminate in the instrument cluster to
indicate that TOW/HAUL mode has
been activated. Pressing the switch a
second time restores normal
operation. If the TOW/HAUL mode is
desired, the switch must be pressed
each time the engine is started.

IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
• In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating bytaking the appropriate action.
• On the highways — slow down.
• In city traffic — while stopped, shift transmission into NEUTRAL, but do not increase engine idle speed.
NOTE: There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending overheat condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
• You can also turn the Temperature Control to maximum heat, the Mode Control to floor and the Fan Control to high. This allows the heater core to act as a supplement to the
radiator and aids in removing heat from the engine cooling system.
• If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off immediately.
• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature
gauge reads HOT (H), pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air
conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the
pointer remains on HOT (H), and you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine off
immediately and call for service.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam
from your radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, do not
open the hood until the radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling
system pressure cap when the radiator or coolant bottle is hot.
