CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause
damage to the heating elements:
• Use care when washing the inside of
the rear window. Do not use abrasive
window cleaners on the interior surface
of the window. Use a soft cloth and a
mild washing solution, wiping parallel
to the heating elements. Labels can be
peeled off after soaking with warm
water.
• Do not use scrapers, sharp instru-
ments, or abrasive window cleaners on
the interior surface of the window.
• Keep all objects a safe distance from
the window.
Outside Air Intake
Make sure the air intake, located directly in
front of the windshield, is free of obstruc-
tions, such as leaves. Leaves collected in the
air intake may reduce airflow, and if they
enter the plenum, they could plug the water
drains. In Winter months, make sure the air
intake is clear of ice, slush, and snow.
Cabin Air Filter
The climate control system filters out dust
and pollen from the air. Contact an autho-
rized dealer to service your cabin air filter,
and to have it replaced when needed.
WINDOWS
Power Window Controls
The window controls on the driver's door
control all the door windows.There are single window controls on each
passenger door trim panel, which operate the
passenger door windows. The window con-
trols will operate only when the ignition is in
the ACC or ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
For vehicles equipped with the Uconnect, the
power window switches will remain active for
up to ten minutes after the ignition is cycled
to the OFF position. Opening either front door
will cancel this feature. The time is program-
mable. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
“Multimedia” for further information.
WARNING!
Never leave children unattended in a ve-
hicle. Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle or in a location accessible to chil-
dren, and do not leave the ignition of a
vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go in
the ACC or ON/RUN mode. Occupants, par-
ticularly unattended children, can become
entrapped by the windows while operating
the power window switches. Such entrap-
ment may result in serious injury or death.

Wind Buffeting
Wind buffeting can be described as the per-
ception of pressure on the ears or a
helicopter-type sound in the ears. Your ve-
hicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the
windows down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in
certain open or partially open positions. This
is a normal occurrence and can be mini-
mized. If the buffeting occurs with the rear
windows open, open the front and rear win-
dows together to minimize the buffeting. If
the buffeting occurs with the sunroof open,
adjust the sunroof opening to minimize the
buffeting or open any window.
POWER SUNROOF
WITH POWER SHADE —
IF EQUIPPED
The power sunroof switches are located be-
tween the sun visors on the overhead console.
WARNING!
• Never leave children unattended in a
vehicle, or with access to an unlocked
vehicle. Never leave the key fob in or
near the vehicle, or in a location acces-
sible to children. Do not leave the igni-
tion of a vehicle equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go in the ON/RUN mode. Occu-
pants, particularly unattended children,
can become entrapped by the power
sunroof while operating the power sun-
roof switch. Such entrapment may result
in serious injury or death.
• In a collision, there is a greater risk of
being thrown from a vehicle with an
open sunroof. You could also be seri-
ously injured or killed. Always fasten
your seat belt properly and make sure all
passengers are also properly secured.
• Do not allow small children to operate
the sunroof. Never allow your fingers,
other body parts, or any object, to proj-
ect through the sunroof opening. Injury
may result.
