attachment or installation of such parts, it cannot be
implicitly assumed that the driving safety of your ve-
hicle is unimpaired. Therefore, neither experts nor
official agencies are liable. The manufacturer only as-
sumes responsibility when parts, which are expressly

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 or seatback
that insulates against heat , such as a blanket or
cushion. This may cause the seat heater to over-
heat . Sitting in a seat that has been overheated
could cause serious burns due to the increased
surface temperature of the seat .
For Vehicles Equipped With Uconnect® 4.3:
Touch the CLIMATE hard-key (located on the left side
of the Uconnect® display) to enter the climate control

lected, the system will automatically switch to LO-level

OUTSIDE MIRRORS
To receive maximum benefit, adjust the outside mir-
ror(s) to center on the adjacent lane of traffic and a
slight overlap of the view obtained from the inside
mirror.
NOTE:The passenger side convex outside mirror will
give a much wider view to the rear, and especially of the
lane next to your vehicle.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in the
passenger si

de convex mirror will look
smaller and farther away than they really are.
Relying too much on your passenger side convex
mirror could cause you to collide with another
vehicle or other object . Use your inside mirror
when judging the size or distance of a vehicle
seen in the passenger side convex mirror. Failure
to follow this warning may result in serious injury
or death.
