Rear Heated Seats
On some models, the two outboard seats are equipped with heated seats. The heated seat
switches for these seats are located on the rear of the center console. There are two heated
seat switchesthat allow the rear passengers to operate the seats independently.

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
approximately 60 minutes of continuous operation. At that time, the number of illumi-
nated LEDs changes from two to one, indicating the change. The LO-level setting will turn
OFF automatically after approximately 45 minutes.
Front Ventilated Seats
Located in the seat cushion and seat back are small fans that draw the air from the
passenger compartment and move air through fine perforations in the seat cover to help
keep the driver and front passenger cooler in higher ambient temperatures. The fans
operate at two speeds, HI and LO.
The front ventilated seats control buttons are located within the Uconnect®system. You
can gain access to the control buttons through the climate screen or the controls screen.

Vehicles Equipped With Remote Start
On models that are equipped with remote start, the ventilated seats can be programed to
come on during a remote start.
This feature can be programmed through the Uconnect®system. Refer to “Uconnect®
Settings” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner's Manual on the DVD.

HEATED STEERING WHEEL
The steering wheel contains a heating element that heats the steering wheel to one
temperature setting.
The heated steering wheel control button is located within the Uconnect®system. You can
gain access to the control buttons through the climate screen or the controls screen.

Once the heated steering wheel has been turned on, it will operate for up to 80 minutes
before automatically shutting off. The heated steering wheel can shut off early or may not
turn on when the steering wheel is already warm.
NOTE:
On models that are equipped with Remote Start, this feature can be programmed to come
on during a Remote Start through the Uconnect®system. Refer to “Uconnect®Settings”
in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner's Manual on the DVD.

Automatic High Beams
The Automatic High Beams system provides increased forward lighting at night by automat-
ing high beam control through the use of a digital camera mounted above the inside rearview
mirror. This camera detects vehicle specific light and automatically switches from high
beams to low beams until the approaching vehicle is out of view. This feature is program-
mable through the Uconnect®system. Refer to “Uconnect®Settings” in “Understanding

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC)
If your vehicle is equipped with Adaptive
Cruise Control the controls operate exactly
the same as the electronic speed control
with only a couple of differences. With this
option you can set a specified distance you
would like to maintain between you and the
vehicle in front of you.
If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead,
ACC will apply limited braking or accelera-
tion automatically to maintain a preset fol-
lowing distance, while matching the speed
of the vehicle ahead.
If the sensor does not detect a vehicle
ahead of you, ACC will maintain a fixed set
speed.

•WhenyouusetheSET-button to decelerate, if the engine’s braking power does not
slow the vehicle sufficiently to reach the set speed, the brake system will automatically
slow the vehicle.

If an ACC host vehicle follows a target vehicle to a standstill, the host vehicle will release
the vehicle brakes two seconds after coming to a full stop.
•TheACCsystemmaintainssetspeedwhendrivinguphillanddownhill.However,a
slight speed change on moderate hills is normal. In addition, downshifting may occur
while climbing uphill or descending downhill. This is normal operation and necessary
to maintain set speed. When driving up hill and down hill, the ACC system will cancel
if the braking temperature exceeds normal range (overheated).

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW) WITH MITIGATION
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system with mitigation provides the driver with audible
warnings, visual warnings (within the DID), and may apply a brake jerk to warn the driver
when it detects a potential frontal collision. The warnings and limited braking are intended to
provide the driver with enough time to react, avoid or mitigate the potential collision.
•FCWmonitorstheinformationfromtheforwardlookingsensorsaswellasthe
Electronic Brake Controller (EBC), to calculate the probability of a forward collision.
When the system determines that a forward collision is probable, the driver will be
provided with audible and visual warnings and may provide a brake jerk warning.
•Ifthedriverdoesnottakeactionbasedupontheseprogressivewarnings,thenthe
system will provide a limited level of active braking to help slow the vehicle and mitigate
the potential forward collision. If the driver reacts to the warnings by braking and the
system determines that the driver intends to avoid the collision by braking but has not
applied sufficient brake force, the system will compensate and provide additional brake
force as required.
Turning FCW ON Or OFF
NOTE:
The default status of FCW is “On,” this allows the system to warn you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you when you are farther away and it applies limited
braking. This gives you the most reaction time to avoid a possible collision.
The forward collision button is on the switch panel that is located in the center of the
instrument panel.

Changing FCW Status
The FCW feature has two settings and can be changed within the Uconnect®System
Screen:
•Far
•Near
NOTE:
The FCW and active braking settings can only be changed when the vehicle is in PARK.
Far
The default status of FCW is the “Far” setting.
The far setting provides warnings for potential collisions more distant in front of the
vehicle, allowing the driver to have the most reaction time to avoid a collision.
