The heated seat switches for these seats
are located on the rear of the center
console. There are two heated seat
switches that allow the rear passengers
to operate the seats independently.You can choose from HI, LO or OFF
heat settings. Amber indicator lights
in each switch indicate the level of
heat in use. Two indicator lights will
illuminate for HI, one for LO and
none for OFF.Press the switch once to se-
lect HI-level heating. Press
the switch a second time to
select LO-level heating.
Press the switch a third time to shut
the heating elements OFF.
NOTE:
Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be felt within two to
five minutes.
The engine must be running for the heated seats to operate.
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 to the normal HI-level. If the
HI-level setting is selected, the system
will automatically switch to LO-level
after a maximum of 60 minutes of
continuous operation. At that time,
the number of illuminated LEDs
changes from two to one, indicating
the change. The LO-level setting will
turn OFF automatically after a maxi-
mum of 45 minutes.
VENTILATED SEATS
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
On some models, both the driver and
passenger seats are ventilated. Lo-
cated in the seat cushion and seatback
are small fans that draw air from the
seat surface through fine perforations
in the seat cover to help keep the
driver and front passenger cooler in
higher ambient temperatures.
The ventilated seats can be operated
using the Uconnect Touch™ System.
NOTE: The engine must be run-
ning for the ventilated seats to
operate.

the perception of pressure on the ears
or a helicopter-type sound in the ears.
Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffet-
ing with the windows down, or the

open positions. This is a normal oc-
currence and can be minimized. If the
buffeting occurs with the rear win-
dows open, open the front and rear
windows together to minimize the
buffeting. If the buffeting occurs with
the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof
opening to minimize the buffeting or
open any window.

OUTLETS
There are three 12 Volt (13 Amp)
electrical power outlets on this ve-
hicle. The power outlets are protected
by a fuse.
Insert cigar lighter or accessory plug
into the power outlets for use to en-
sure proper operation.
CAUTION!
Do not exceed the maximum
power of 160 Watts (13 Amps) at
12 Volts. If the 160 Watt (13 Amp)
power rating is exceeded, the fuse
protecting the system will need to
be replaced. Power outlets are designed for ac-
cessory plugs only. Do not insert
any other object in the power out-
lets as this will damage the outlet
and blow the fuse. Improper use
of the power outlet can cause
damage not covered by your New
Vehicle Limited Warranty. The front 12 Volt power outlet has
power available only when the igni-
tion is placed in the ACC or RUN
position.
WARNING!
Do not place ashes inside the cubby
bin located on the center console on
vehicle's not equipped with the ash
receiver tray. A fire leading to
bodily injury could result.
Front Power Outlet
145
The center console outlet is powered
directly from the battery (power
available at all times). Items plugged
into this outlet may discharge the
battery and/or prevent the engine
from starting.
There is also a 12 volt power outlet
located on the back of the center con-
sole for rear passengers. This power
outlet has power available only when
the ignition is placed in the ACC or
RUN position.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Only devices designed for use inthis type of outlet should be in-
serted into any 12 Volt outlet.
Do not touch with wet hands.
Close the lid when not in use and while driving the vehicle.
If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric shock and fail-
ure.
CAUTION!
Many accessories that can beplugged in draw power from the
vehicle's battery even when not in
use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.).
Eventually, if plugged in long
enough, the vehicle's battery will
discharge sufficiently to degrade
battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
Accessories that draw higher
power (i.e., coolers, vacuum
cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade
the battery even more quickly.
Only use these intermittently and
with greater caution.
After the use of high power draw accessories or long periods of the
vehicle not being started (with
accessories still plugged in), the
vehicle must be driven a suffi-
cient length of time to allow the
alternator to recharge the vehi-
cle's battery.
