Reclining Seatbacks
{Warning
Sitting in a reclined position when
the vehicle is in motion can be
dangerous. Even when buckled up,
the seat belts cannot do their job.(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
The shoulder belt will not be
against your body. Instead, it will be
in front of you. In a crash, you
could go into it, receiving neck or
other injuries.
The lap belt could go up over your
abdomen. The belt forces would be
there, not at your pelvic bones. This
could cause serious internal
injuries.
For proper protection when the
vehicle is in motion, have the
seatback upright. Then sit well back
in the seat and wear the seat belt
properly.
Do not have a seatback reclined if the
vehicle is moving.

closed, indicating that there may be
something in the rear seat.
The feature is active only once each
time the vehicle is turned on and off,
and will require reactivation by

the vehicle without the vehicle being
shut off.
The feature can be turned on or off.

operate for a certain number of miles
or degrees of turn before needing a
signal from the GPS satellites. When
the compass display shows CAL, drive
the vehicle for a short distance in an
open area where it can receive a GPS
signal. The compass system will
automatically determine when a GPS
signal is restored and provide a
heading again.

become very hot. On the rare
occasion that the charging system
does not detect an object, and the
object gets wedged between the
smartphone and charger, remove
the smartphone and allow the
object to cool before removing it
from the charging pad, to prevent
burns.
To charge a compatible smartphone:1. Remove all objects from the
charging pad. The system may not
charge if there are any objects
between the smartphone and
charging pad.
2. Place the smartphone face up on the
@symbol on the
charging pad.
To maximize the charge rate,
ensure the smartphone is fully
seated and centered in the holder
with nothing under it. A thick
smartphone case may prevent the
wireless charger from working,
or may reduce the charging
performance. See your dealer for
additional information.
3. A green
}next to theVwill
appear on the infotainment display.
This indicates that the smartphone
is properly positioned and charging.
If the
}turns yellow, ensure that
the charging pad is clear of any
objects and that the smartphone is
capable of wireless charging before
re-positioning it. If the
}does not illuminate, the
smartphone may need to be
repositioned. To reposition, turn
the smartphone 180 degrees and
wait three seconds before placing/
aligning it on the pad again.
The smartphone may become
warm during charging. This is
normal. In warmer temperatures,
the speed of charging may be
reduced.
