stages of operation. Then, the heat output will drop 
to the normal HI-level. The level of heat selected 
will stay on until the operator changes it.
WARNING!
Persons who are unable to feel pain to the 
skin because of advanced age, chronic illness, 
diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, 
alcohol use, exhaustion 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 over -
heated could cause serious burns due to the 
increased surface temperature of the seat.

everyone comfortable while you keep moving 
ahead. (If vehicle is equipped with climate control.)
Push the VR button on the steering wheel. After the 
beep, say one of the following commands:

vehicle. Voice Command will not work to adjust the 
heated seats or steering wheel if equipped.
OPERATING TIPS 
Refer to the chart at the end of this section for 
suggested control settings for various weather 
conditions.
Summer Operation
The engine cooling system must be protected with 
a high-quality antifreeze coolant to provide proper 
corrosion protection and to protect against engine 
overheating. OAT coolant (conforming to 
MS.90032) is recommended.
Winter Operation
To ensure the best possible heater and defroster 
performance, make sure the engine cooling 
system is functioning properly and the proper  amount, type, and concentration of coolant is 
used. Use of the Air Recirculation mode during 
Winter months is not recommended, because it 
may cause window fogging.
Vacation/Storage  
For information on maintaining the Climate Control 
system when the vehicle is being stored for an 
extended period of time, see  Ú
page 357.
Window Fogging 
Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside in mild, 
rainy, and/or humid weather. To clear the 
windows, select Defrost or Mix mode and increase 
the front blower speed. Do not use the 
Recirculation mode without A/C for long periods, 
as fogging may occur.
Outside Air Intake
Make sure the air intake, located directly in front of 
the windshield, is free of obstructions, such as 
leaves. Leaves collected in the air intake may 
reduce airflow, and if they enter the air distribution 
box, 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 authorized dealer to 
service your cabin air filter, and to have it replaced 
when needed.
Stop/Start System — If Equipped
While in an Autostop, the Climate Control system 
may automatically adjust airflow to maintain cabin 
comfort. Customer settings will be maintained 
upon return to an engine running condition.

If the power liftgate encounters multiple 
obstructions within the same cycle, the system 
will automatically stop. If this occurs, the liftgate 
must be operated manually.
The power liftgate will release, but not power 
open, in temperatures below −12°F (−24°C). 
Be sure to remove any buildup of snow or ice 
from the liftgate before opening the liftgate.
If the liftgate is left open for an extended period 
of time, the liftgate may need to be closed 
manually to reset power liftgate functionality.
The Hands-Free Liftgate only works to open the 
liftgate. Gas props support the liftgate in the open position. 
However, because the gas pressure drops with 
temperature, it may be necessary to assist the 
props when opening the liftgate in cold weather.
NOTE:Allow the power system to open the liftgate. 
Manually pushing or pulling the liftgate may 
activate the liftgate obstacle detection feature and 
stop the power operation or reverse its direction.
CARGO AREA FEATURES    
Cargo Area Storage
When the third row seats are not in the stowed 
position, there is a large area for cargo storage.
Rear Cargo Area
NOTE:With all rear seats stowed or removed, 4 x 8 ft 
(1.2 x 2.4 m) sheets of building material will fit on 
the vehicle floor with the liftgate closed. The front 
seats must be moved slightly forward of the 
rearmost position.
Stow ‘n Vac Integrated Vacuum —
If Equipped 
Your vehicle may be equipped with an integrated 
vacuum system. This vacuum is for in-vehicle use 
only and should only be used on dry materials and 
on in-vehicle surfaces. It is located in the rear trim 
panel behind the sliding door on the driver’s side of 
the vehicle.
WARNING!
Driving with the liftgate open can allow 
poisonous exhaust gases into your vehicle. 
You and your passengers could be injured by 
these fumes. Keep the liftgate closed when 
you are operating the vehicle.
If you are required to drive with the liftgate 
open, make sure that all windows are closed, 
and the climate control blower switch is set at 
high speed. Do not use the recirculation 
mode.
WARNING!
During power operation, personal injury or cargo 
damage may occur. Ensure the liftgate travel 
path is clear. Make sure the liftgate is closed 
and latched before driving away.
