minutes of continuous operation. At that time, the dis-
play will change from HI to LO, indicating the change.
The LO-level setting will turn OFF automatically after
approximately 60 minutes.
NOTE:The engine must be running for the heated seats
to operate.
Vehicles Equipped With Remote Start
Vehicles equipped with Remote Start, the heated 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 “Multimedia”
for further information.
WARNING!
•Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin
because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes,
spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-
tion or other physical condition must exercise care
when using the seat heater. It may cause burns
even at low temperatures, 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 overheat. Sitting
in a seat that has been overheated could cause
serious burns due to the increased surface tempera-
ture of the seat.
70 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

The BSM detection zone covers approximately one lane
width on both sides of the vehicle 10 ft (3 m). The zone
length starts at the outside mirror and extends approxi-
mately 20 ft (6 m) beyond the rear bumper of the vehicle.
The BSM system monitors the detection zones on both
sides of the vehicle when the vehicle speed reaches
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or higher and will alert
the driver of vehicles in these areas.
NOTE:
•The BSM system does NOT alert the driver about
rapidly approaching vehicles that are outside the de-
tection zones.
•The BSM system detection zone DOES NOT change if
your vehicle is towing a trailer. Therefore, visually
verify the adjacent lane is clear for both your vehicle
and trailer before making a lane change. If the trailer or
other object (i.e., bicycle, sports equipment) extends
beyond the side of your vehicle, this may result in the
BSM warning light remaining illuminated the entire
time the vehicle is in a forward gear. It may be
necessary to deactivate BSM system manually by
related menu to avoid a miss-detection.
The area on the rear fascia where the radar sensors are
located must remain free of snow, ice, and dirt/road
contamination so that the BSM system can function
properly. Do not block the radar sensors located on the
rear fascia with foreign objects (bumper stickers, bicycle
racks, etc.).

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 95

Turning on the headlights will illuminate the instrument
cluster and the controls located on the instrument panel.
Automatic Lighting — If Equipped
Light Sensor
The light sensor is equipped with an infrared LED,
located on the windshield. It detects changes in light
intensity outside the vehicle, based on the sensitivity of
light set by using the Menu on the display or on the
Uconnect® system.
The higher the sensitivity, the lesser the amount of
external light required for controlling the lighting.
Automatic Headlights
Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO position.
When the automatic headlights are enabled, the head-
light time delay is active. After the ignition switch is
placed in the STOP/OFF position, the headlights will
automatically turn off after approximately 90 seconds
depending on the settings of the feature.

Changing the passenger temperature setting while in
Sync mode will automatically exit this feature and return
to the separate management of air temperatures in the
two zones.
10. Mode Buttons
Airflow distribution modes can be adjusted so air comes
from the instrument panel outlets, floor outlets, de-mist
outlets and defrost outlets by selecting these buttons.
One, two or all modes may be selected at any one time.
11. Blower Control
Blower control is used to regulate the amount of air
forced through the climate system. Adjusting the blower
will cause the automatic mode to change to manual
operation. The speeds can be selected by rotating the
Blower Control adjustment knob.
12. ON/OFF Button
Push this button to turn the Climate Control ON/OFF.
13. Recirculation Button

•Heated rear window
•System deactivation
NOTE:The Climate Control system detects the passenger
compartment temperature using a temperature sensor
located in the interior rearview mirror and protected by a
specific cover. Obstructing the field of view of this sensor
with any object could cause the climate control system to
operate with less than optimal efficiency.
Turning On The Climate Control System
The Climate Control system can be turned on in different
ways: it is recommended to push the AUTO button and
turn the Temperature Control knobs to set the desired
temperatures.
The system operates automatically to adjust the tempera-
ture, quantity and distribution of the air introduced into
the passenger compartment. It also manages the air
recirculation function and the activation of the air condi-
tioning compressor.
During automatic operation, you can change the set
temperatures, air distribution and blower speed at any
time by using the relevant buttons or knobs: the system
will automatically change the settings to adjust to the
new requirements.
During automatic operation (AUTO), varying the air
flow and/or distribution (which are not displayed)
causes the AUTO function LED to turn off and the system
to operate in MANUAL mode (displaying both the flow
and distribution requested).
When the compressor is deactivated, the AUTO opera-
tion remains active only if the system can guarantee
in-car comfort. Otherwise, the system changes to
