20_RT_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 8

16GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
(Continued)
NOTE:
The driver's door key cylinder and the liftgate
button on the key fob cannot arm or disarm
the vehicle security alarm.
The vehicle security alarm remains armed
during power liftgate entry. Pushing the lift-
gate button will not disarm the vehicle secu -
rity alarm. If someone enters the vehicle
through the liftgate and opens any door, the
alarm will sound.
When the vehicle security alarm is armed,
the interior power door lock switches will not
unlock the doors.
The vehicle security alarm is designed to protect
your vehicle. However, you can create
conditions where the system will give you a false
alarm. If one of the previously described arming
sequences has occurred, the vehicle security
alarm will arm regardless of whether you are in
the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle
and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the vehicle security alarm. If the vehicle security alarm is armed and the
battery becomes disconnected, the vehicle
security alarm will remain armed when the
battery is reconnected; the exterior lights will
flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs,
disarm the vehicle security alarm.
Tamper Alert
If something has triggered the vehicle security
alarm in your absence, the horn will sound three
times and the exterior lights will blink three
times when you disarm the vehicle security
alarm. Check the vehicle for tampering.
DOORS
Manual Door Locks
Lock the front doors by pushing down on the
lock knobs on each door trim panel.
If the lock knob is down when you shut either
front door, the door will lock. Make sure the
keys are not inside the vehicle before closing
the door.

Door Lock Knob

If the lock knob is rearward when you shut
either side sliding door, the door will lock. Make
sure the keys are not inside the vehicle before
closing the door.
WARNING!
Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior
heat build-up may cause serious injury or
death.
For personal security and safety in the
event of an collision, lock the vehicle doors
as you drive as well as when you park and
leave the vehicle.

20_RT_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 16

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE29
Front Heated Seats
There are two heated seat switches that allow
the driver and passenger to operate the seats
independently. The controls for each heater are
located on the switch bank below the climate
controls. You can choose from HI, LO or OFF heat
settings. Amber indicator lights in each switch
indicate the level of heat in use. Two indicator
lights will illuminate for HI, one for LO and none
for OFF.
Push the heated seat button once to turn
the HI setting on.
Push the heated seat button a second
time to turn the LO setting on.
Push the heated seat button a third time
to turn the heating elements off.
NOTE:
Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be felt
within two to five minutes.
If the HI-level setting is selected, the system will
automatically switch to LO-level after approxi -
mately 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. Vehicles Equipped With Remote Start
On models that are equipped with remote start,
the heated seats can be programmed to come
on during a remote start.
This feature can be programmed through the
instrument cluster display. Refer to “Instrument
Cluster Display” in “Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel” for further information.
WARNING!
Persons who are unable to feel pain to the
skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medica
-
tion, alcohol use, exhaustion or other phys -
ical 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 seat -
back 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.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE39
When exiting the vehicle the driver can choose
to have the headlights remain on for 30, 60 or
90 seconds or not remain on. To change the
timer setting, see an authorized dealer.
The headlight delay time is programmable on
vehicles equipped with an instrument cluster
display. Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in
“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” for
further information.
If the headlights are turned off before the
ignition, they will turn off in the normal manner.
NOTE:
The headlights must be turned off within 45
seconds of placing the ignition in the OFF
position to activate this feature.
Lights-On Reminder
If the headlights or the parking lights are left on,
or if the dimmer control is in the extreme top
position after the ignition has been placed in
the OFF position, a chime will sound when the
driver's door is opened.
Front Fog Lights — If Equipped
To activate the front fog lights, turn on the
parking lights or the low beam headlights and
push in the headlight switch control knob. Pushing the headlight switch control knob a
second time will turn the front fog lights off.
Turn Signals
Move the multifunction lever up or down and
the arrows on each side of the instrument
cluster display will flash to show proper
operation of the front and rear turn signal lights.
NOTE:
If either light remains on and does not flash, or
there is a very fast flash rate, check for a
defective outside light bulb. If an indicator fails
to light when the lever is moved, it would
suggest that the indicator bulb is defective.
Turn Signal Warning
If the vehicle electronics sense that the vehicle
has traveled at over 18 mph (29 km/h) for
about 1 mile (1.6 km) with the turn signals on, a
chime will sound to alert the driver.
Lane Change Assist
Tap the lever up or down once, without moving
beyond the detent, and the turn signal (right or
left) will flash three times then automatically
turn off.
Battery Protection
This feature provides battery protection to avoid
wearing down the battery if the headlights or
parking lights are left on for extended periods of
time when the ignition is in the OFF position.
After eight minutes of the ignition being placed
in the OFF position, and the headlight switch in
any position other than OFF or AUTO, the lights
will turn off automatically until the next cycle of
the ignition or headlight switch.
The battery protection feature will be disabled if
the ignition is placed in any position other than
OFF during the eight minute delay.
INTERIOR LIGHTS
Courtesy/Interior Lighting
At the forward end of the overhead console are
two courtesy lights (standard dome light has
two buttons). These interior lights are turned on
when a door or the liftgate is opened, the
remote keyless entry key fob is activated, or
when the dimmer control is moved to the
extreme top.

Dimmer Controls
The dimmer switch is located next to the
headlight switch.

Instrument Panel Dimmer Control

With the parking lights or headlights on, rotating
the left dimmer control upward will increase the
brightness of the instrument panel lights.
Rotating the left dimmer control completely
upward to the second detent (extreme top
position) will turn on the interior lights. The
interior lights will remain on when the dimmer
control is in this position.
Rotating the left dimmer control to the off
position (extreme bottom) will turn the interior
lights off, and will remain off when the doors or
liftgate are opened.
Parade Mode (Daytime Brightness Feature)
Rotate the dimmer control upward to the first
detent. This feature brightens all text displays
such as the odometer, instrument cluster
display, and radio when the parking lights or
headlights are on.
WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHERS
The wipers and washers are operated by a
switch within the multifunction lever. Rotate the
end of the multifunction lever to select the
desired wiper speed.

Washer And Wiper Controls
NOTE:
Always remove any buildup of snow that
prevents the windshield wiper blades from
returning to the off position. If the windshield
wiper switch is turned off and the blades cannot
return to the off position, damage to the wiper
motor may occur.
Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotate the end of the lever upward, to the first
detent past the intermittent settings for
low-speed wiper operation. Rotate the end of
the lever upward to the second detent past the
intermittent settings for high-speed wiper
operation.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision. You might
not see other vehicles or other obstacles. To
avoid sudden icing of the windshield during
freezing weather, warm the windshield with
the defroster before and during windshield
washer use.
