remote start through the Uconnect system. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further informa-
tion.

because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes,
spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-
tion, or other physical conditions must exercise care
when using the steering wheel heater. It may cause
burns even at low temperatures, especially if used
for long periods.
