HEATED/VENTILATED SEATS
Front Heated Seats
• The controls for front heated seatsare located 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 airfrom 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 switchesare located 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.

HEADLIGHT SWITCH
Automatic Headlights/Parking
Lights/Headlights
• Rotate the headlight switch,located on the instrument panel to
the left of the steering wheel, to
the first detent for parking lights
and to the second detent
for headlights.
• With the parking lights or low beam headlights on, push the
headlight switch once for fog
lights.
• Rotate the headlight switch to “A” for AUTO headlights.
• When set to “A” (AUTO), the system automatically turns the headlights on or off based on ambient light levels.
SmartBeams™
• This system automatically controls the use of the headlight high beams.Refer to Programmable Features in Electronics for further details.
Instrument Panel Dimmer
• Rotate the dimmer control to the extreme bottom position to fully dimthe instrument panel lights and prevent the interior lights from
illuminating when a door is opened.
• Rotate the dimmer control up to increase the brightness of the instrument panel when the parking lights or headlights are on.
• Rotate the dimmer control up to the next detent position to fully brighten the odometer and radio when the parking lights or headlights
are on. Refer to your Media Center/Radio User Manual on the DVD for
display dimming.
• Rotate the dimmer control up to the last detent position to turn on the interior lighting.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
28

• The Quadra-Lift™ air suspension system uses a lifting and loweringpattern which keeps the headlights from shining into oncoming traffic.
When raising the vehicle, the rear of the vehicle will move up first and
then the front. When lowering the vehicle, the front will move down first
and then the rear.
• After the engine is turned off, you may notice that the air suspension system operates briefly. This is normal. The system is correcting the
position of the vehicle.
• To assist with changing a spare tire, the Quadra-Lift™ air suspension system has a feature which allows the automatic leveling to be disabled.
Press and hold both the “Up” and “Down” buttons simultaneously
between 5 and 10 seconds; a message will appear in the EVIC stating
leveling has been disabled immediately after both buttons have been
released. Driving the vehicle over 5 mph (8 km/h) will return the air
suspension to normal operation.
• An audible chime will be heard whenever a system error has been detected.
Operation • Pressing the “Up” or “Down” button once will move the suspension one position higher or lower from the current position, assuming all
conditions are met (i.e., engine running and all doors and liftgate closed).
• The 4 indicator lamps will illuminate to show the current position of the vehicle. Flashing indicator lamps will show a position which the system is
working to achieve. If multiple indicator lamps are flashing on the “Up”
button, the highest flashing indicator lamp is the position the system is
working to achieve.
• Normal Ride Height (NRH) – This is the standard position ofthe suspension and is meant for normal driving. Only the
bottom Indicator lamp on the “Up” button will be illuminated
when the vehicle is in this position.
• Off-Road 1 (OR1) (Raises the vehicle approximately 1.3 in (33 mm) – This position is intended for off-road driving only
where vehicle speeds may go above 25 mph (40 km/h). Press
the “Up” button once from NRH while vehicle speed is below
48 mph (77 km/h). The bottom two Indicator lamps on the
“Up” button will be illuminated when the vehicle is in OR1.
• Off-Road 2 (OR2) (Raises the vehicle approximately 2.6 in (65 mm) – This position is intended for off-road driving where
maximum ground clearance is required. Press the “Up” button
twice from NRH, or once from OR1 position while vehicle
speed is below 20 mph (32 km/h). All three Indicator lamps on
the “Up” button will be illuminated when the vehicle is in OR2.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
• Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly,when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated
on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
• As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling
and stopping ability.
• IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE,
ADJUST THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE
SHOWN ON THE VEHICLE PLACARD OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE
LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR. NOTE: AFTER INFLATION,
THE VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE DRIVEN FOR 20 MINUTES BEFORE
THE FLASHING LIGHT WILL TURN OFF.
• Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
