When the HI-level setting is selected, the heater will
provide a boosted heat level during the first four
minutes of operation. Then, the heat output will drop

lected, the system will automatically switch to LO-level

tion. At that time, the display will change from HI to
LO, indicating the change. The LO-level setting will turn

WARNING!
 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 tempera-
tures, especially if used for long periods of time.
 Do not place anything on the seat that insu-
lates 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 .

UCONNECT™ MULTIMEDIA VIDEO
ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM (VES)™
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
Your rear seat Video Entertainment System (VES)™ is
designed to give your family years of enjoyment. You
can play your favorite CDs or DVDs, listen to audio
over the wireless headphones, or plug and play a variety
of standard video games or audio devices. Please re-
view this Owner's Manual to become familiar with its
features and operation.
System Overview
The rear seat Video Entertainment System (VES)™
consists of:
• Your vehicle may be equipped a single LCD overheadconsole screen system.
• One infrared remote control to allow rear seat audio and video control function capability of the VES™.
• Two infrared wireless dual channel headphones for rear passenger listening.
• Auxiliary RCA audio/video inputs (AUX jacks) for listening and viewing of other consumer electronic
device media such as MP3 players or video games.
• Radio capable of playing DVDs.
Video Entertainment System (VES)™
This manual is intended to aid with the operation of the

and/or headphones. The system may be controlled by
the radio for front seat occupants or controlled by the
remote control for rear seat occupants.
The VES™ is a dual channel system. The video screen
displays information in a split screen format. The left
side of the screen is referred to as Channel 1 and the
right side of the screen is referred to as Channel 2. All
modes except video modes (DVD video, Aux video)
are displayed in a split screen format. When a video
mode is displayed it is displayed on the full screen. The
remote control is designed to control either channel by
the use of the selector switch located on the right side
of the remote control. The headphones are designed
to listen to either channel by use of the selector switch
located on the right ear cup.
Using the included dual channel wireless headphones,
the VES™ allows rear passengers to listen to two
different audio sources simultaneously. The wireless
remote control allows rear passengers to change sta-
tions, tracks, discs and audio/video modes.

The best protection against carbon monoxide entry
into the vehicle body is a properly maintained engine
exhaust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of the
exhaust system, when exhaust fumes can be detected
inside the vehicle, or when the underside or rear of the
vehicle is damaged, have a competent mechanic inspect
the complete exhaust system and adjacent body areas
for broken, damaged, deteriorated, or mispositioned
parts. Open seams or loose connections could permit
exhaust fumes to seep into the passenger compart-
ment. In addition, inspect the exhaust system each time
the vehicle is raised for lubrication or oil change.
Replace as required.
SAFETY CHECKS YOU SHOULD MAKE
INSIDE THE VEHICLE
Seat Belts
Inspect the seat belt system periodically, checking for
cuts, frays, and loose parts. Damaged parts must be
replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or modify
the system.
Front seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a
collision. Rear seat belt assemblies must be replaced
after a collision if they have been damaged (i.e., bent
retractor, torn webbing, etc.). If there is any question
regarding belt or retractor condition, replace the seatbelt.Air Bag Warning Light
The light should turn on and remain on for four to six
seconds as a bulb check when the ignition switch is first
turned ON. If the light is not lit during starting, or if the
light stays on, flickers, or turns on while driving, have
the system checked by an authorized dealer.
Defroster
Check operation by selecting the defrost mode and
place the blower control on high speed. You should be
able to feel the air directed against the windshield. See
your authorized dealer for service if your defroster is
inoperable.
Floor Mat Safety Information
Always use floor mats designed to fit the footwell of
your vehicle. Use only floor mats that leave the pedal
area unobstructed and that are firmly secured so that
they cannot slip out of position and interfere with the
pedals or impair safe operation of your vehicle in other
ways.
WARNING!
Pedals that cannot move freely can
cause loss of vehicle control and increase
the risk of serious personal injury.
 Always make sure that floor mats are properly
attached to the floor mat fasteners.
