have difficulty returning the seat to its proper position.
Raise the seatback and lock it into place.

Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the seatback is not
securely locked into position the seat will not provide the proper stability for child
seats and/or passengers. An improperly latched seat could cause serious injury.

HEATED/VENTILATED SEATS
Front Heated Seats
If your vehicle is equipped with front heated seats, the control buttons are located
within the Uconnect system. You can gain access to the control buttons through the
climate screen or the controls screen.
• Press the heated seat button
once to turn the HI setting ON.
• Press the heated seat button
a second time to turn the LO setting ON.
• Press the heated seat button
a third time to turn the heating elements OFF.
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 display will
change from HI to LO, indicating the change. The LO-level setting will turn OFF
automatically after approximately 45 minutes.
NOTE:
The engine must be running for the heated seats to operate.
Vehicles Equipped With Remote Start
On models that are 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 “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner’s Manual on the
DVD 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 temperature of the seat.

Front Ventilated Seats
If your vehicle is equipped with ventilated seats, the seat cushion and seat back will
have 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

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.
• Press the ventilated seat button
once to choose HI.
• Press the ventilated seat button
a second time to choose LO.
• Press the ventilated seat button
a third time to turn the ventilated seat OFF.

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.

element that will keep your hands warm in cold weather. The heated steering wheel
has only one temperature setting. Once the heated steering wheel has been turned on
it can operate for up to 120 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.
The heated steering wheel control button is located within the Uconnect system. You
can gain access to the control button through the climate screen or the controls
screen.

once to turn the heating element ON.

CARGO AREA FEATURES
Cargo Load Floor
The cargo load floor system has a load capacity of 400 lbs (181 kg).
To provide additional storage area, each rear seat can be folded flat. This allows for
extended cargo space and still maintains some rear seating room. Refer to “Rear
Seats” in “Getting Started” for further information.
Cargo Extension Panels
Cargo extension panels can be folded and unfolded. When the rear seats are moved
to the more forward positions and the rear seat backs are folded down, the extension
panels can be unfolded manually by hand (2 of them). The extension panels can be
used to extend the load floor to the rear seats and/or hide the gap between the load
floor and rear seats, or to assist in loading large items into the cargo area.
Cargo Tie-Down Hooks And Loops
The tie-downs located on the cargo area floor should be used to secure loads safely
when the vehicle is moving.
Cargo tie-down loops are located on the trim panels.
WARNING!
• Cargo tie-downs are not safe anchors for a child seat tether strap. In a suddenstop or accident, a tie-down could pull loose and allow the child seat to come
loose. A child could be badly injured. Use only the anchors provided for child
seat tethers.
• To help protect against personal injury, passengers should not be seated in the
rear cargo area. The rear cargo space is intended for load carrying purposes
only, not for passengers, who should sit in seats and use seat belts.
WARNING!
The weight and position of cargo and passengers can change the vehicle center of
gravity and vehicle handling. To avoid loss of control resulting in personal injury,
follow these guidelines for loading your vehicle:
• Do not carry loads that exceed the load limits described on the label attachedto the left door or left door center pillar.
• Always place cargo evenly on the cargo floor. Put heavier objects as low and as
far forward as possible.
•
Place as much cargo as possible in front of the rear axle. Too much weight or
improperly placed weight over or behind the rear axle can cause the vehicle to sway.
•Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of the seatback. This could impair
visibility or become a dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or accident.
