HEATED SEATS
Front Heated Seats
• The heated seats are operated using the Uconnect® System.
Uconnect® 8.4
• Press the Controls soft-key located on theUconnect® display.
• Press the Driver or Passenger seat soft- key once to select HI-level heating. Press
the soft-key a second time to select LO-
level heating. Press the soft-key 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 60 minutes. The
Low-level setting will turn Off automati-
cally after approximately 45 minutes.
NOTE:
The front heated seats can also be selected from the Uconnect® startup screen when the
vehicle ignition switch is first cycled to the ON/RUN position.
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.

steering wheel, to the first detent for park-
ing lights
and to the second detent
for headlights
.
• With the parking lights or low beam head- lights on, push the headlight switch once
for fog lights.
• Rotate the headlight switch to “AUTO” for AUTO headlights.
• When set to “AUTO”, the system auto- matically turns the headlights on or off
based on ambient light levels.
Fog Lights
• Turn the headlights or parking lights on and push the headlight switch once to turn the fog lights on. Push the switch a second time to turn the fog lights off. Fog lights will not
operate when high beams are on.
• A fog light symbol will illuminate in the cluster to indicate the fog lights are on.

WARNING!
• Do not let children play with the sunroof, or leave children unattended in the vehiclewith the key fob in or near the vehicle. Occupants, particularly unattended children,
can become entrapped by the power sunroof while operating the power sunroof
switch. Such entrapment may result in serious injury or death.
• In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an open
sunroof. You could also be severely injured or killed. Always fasten your seat belt
properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured.
• Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof. Never allow your fingers, other
body parts, or any object to project through the sunroof opening. Injury may result.
WIND BUFFETING
• Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound. If buffeting
occurs with the rear windows open, adjust the front and rear windows together.
• If buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening, or adjust any window. This will minimize buffeting.
SIX-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
• This vehicle may be equipped with a fuel efficient Dual-Dry Clutch, Six Speed AutomaticTransmission. This transmission offers a sportier driving experience with faster
AutoStick® shifting.
• During low-speed driving conditions in first gear, vehicle momentum changes may feel exaggerated in response to changes in accelerator pedal position. This behavior is
normal and is similar to vehicles equipped with a manual transmission.
NOTE:
• Very aggressive driving may result in some clutch odor similar to a manual transmission. An active warning message will display in the Instrument Cluster if cool down actions are
needed.
•
The first few shifts on a new vehicle may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal condition,
and precision shifts will develop within a few hundred miles (kilometers).
• At low speeds you may hear mechanical noises similar to a manual transmission as the transmission changes gears. These noises are normal and will not damage the trans-
mission.
• Before and after the engine is started, you may hear a hydraulic pump for a short period of time. This noise is normal and will not damage the transmission.
Shifting The Transmission
• The transmission shift lever position (PRND) is displayed both on the shift lever and in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
33

• To drive, depress the brake pedal, press the button on the front of the shift lever and movethe shift lever from PARK or NEUTRAL to the DRIVE position.
• Manual shifts can also be made using the AutoStick® shift control.
• This transmission is programmed to prevent shifting from Reverse to Drive or Drive to Reverse, if vehicle speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h). This safety feature helps protect your
transmission from damage.
NOTE:
• When stopped on an incline, it is recommended that you always hold the vehicle in place using the brakes. On steep inclines, Hill Start Assist (HSA) will temporarily hold the car in
position when the brake pedal is released. If the accelerator pedal is not applied after a
short time, the car will roll back. Either reapply the brake (to hold the vehicle) or press the
accelerator to climb the hill.
• During acceleration, gear changes will feel smooth compared to a vehicle with a tradi- tional manual transmission. This is a benefit of the dual clutch design that avoids power
loss during up-shifts.
Instrument Cluster Messages
• Messages will be displayed in the instrument cluster (if equipped with an EVIC) to alert the driver when certain conditions occur. These messages are described below.
MESSAGE DESCRIPTION
