On some models, the front and rear seats may be equipped with heaters in both the seat
cushions and seatbacks.
The front driver and passenger heated seats are operated using the Uconnect®System.

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.

Automatic High Beams
The Automatic High Beams system provides increased forward lighting at night by
automating 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 programmable through the Uconnect®system. Refer to “Uconnect®Settings”
in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further
details.

NOTE:
•WhenyouoverrideandpushtheSET+button or SET-buttons, the new Set Speed will
be the current speed of the vehicle.
•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).
Distance Setting (ACC Only)
The specified following distance for ACC can be set by varying the distance setting
between four bars (longest), three bars (long), two bars (medium) and one bar (short).
Using this distance setting and the vehicle speed, ACC calculates and sets the distance to
the vehicle ahead. This distance setting displays in the DID.
•Toincreasethedistancesetting,pushtheDistanceSetting—Increasebuttonand

(longer).
•Todecreasethedistancesetting,pushtheDistanceSetting—Decreasebuttonand

(shorter).
ACC Operation At Stop
If the ACC system brings your vehicle to a standstill while following a target vehicle, if the
target vehicle starts moving within two seconds of your vehicle coming to a standstill, your
vehicle will resume motion without the need for any driver action.
If the target vehicle does not start moving within two seconds of your vehicle coming to a
standstill, the driver will either have to push the RES (resume) button, or apply the
accelerator pedal to reengage the ACC to the existing Set Speed.
While the ACC system is holding your vehicle at a standstill, if the driver seatbelt is
unbuckled or the driver door is opened, the parking brake will be activated, and the ACC
system will be cancelled.

BLIND SPOT MONITORING
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses two radar-based sensors, located inside the
rear bumper fascia, to detect Highway licensable vehicles (automobiles, trucks, motor-
cycles etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from the rear/front/side of the vehicle.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system warning light, located in the outside mirrors, will
illuminate if a vehicle moves into a blind spot zone.
The BSM system can also be configured to sound an audible (chime) alert and mute the
radio to notify you of objects that have entered the detection zones.
Refer to “Blind Spot Monitoring” in “Understanding The Features Of Your Vehicle” in your
Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
