COMFORT
CLIMATE CONTROLLED

To access, press the Climate corner
on the touchscreen. For heated front
seats, press
repeatedly to cycle
through the various heat modes and
off. For cooled front seats, press
repeatedly to cycle through the various
cooling modes and off. If your vehicle is
not equipped with a touchscreen, use
the hard button controls (indicated by
the same symbols) to cycle through
the various heated or cooled modes
and off.
HEATED STEERING WHEEL*
Press the Climate corner of the
touchscreen. Press to switch
on and off.
Note: The wood trim will not heat
between the 10 and 2 o’clock positions.
HEATED REAR SEATS* The controls are on the back of the
center console. Press repeatedly
to cycle through the various heat
settings and off. Warmer settings are
indicated by more indicator lights.
MEMORY FUNCTION* Use the memory controls located on
the side seat panel to program and
then recall memory positions. Move
the features to the desired positions.
To program position 1, press
and hold until you hear a tone.
To set a second position, press
and hold until the same
tone sounds.
You can now use these controls to
recall the set positions.
TILTING HEAD RESTRAINTS*
Tilt the head restraints to suit your
needs. First, adjust the seatback to
an upright driving position. Then, tilt
the head restraint forward by gently
pulling the top of the head restraint.
Once it is in the forward-most
position, tilting it forward once
more will release it to the
original upright position.
Note: Do not attempt to force the
head restraint backward after it
is tilted. Instead, continue tilting
it forward until the head restraint
releases to the upright position.
