If temperature change or pain to the skin
cannot be felt, the seat heater may cause
burns. To reduce the risk of burns, use
care when using the seat heater,
especially for long periods of time. Do
not place anything on the seat that
insulates against heat, such as a blanket,
cushion, cover, or similar item. This may
cause the seat heater to overheat. An
overheated seat heater may cause a burn
or may damage the seat.Heated and Ventilated Seat Buttons Shown,Heated Seat Buttons Similar

Battery Load Management
The vehicle has Electric Power Management
(EPM) that estimates the battery's
temperature and state of charge. It then
adjusts the voltage for best performance
and extended life of the battery.
When the battery's state of charge is low,
the voltage is raised slightly to quickly bring
the charge back up. When the state of
charge is high, the voltage is lowered
slightly to prevent overcharging. If the
vehicle has a voltmeter gauge or a voltage
display on the Driver Information Center
(DIC), you may see the voltage move up or
down. This is normal. If there is a problem,
an alert will be displayed.The battery can be discharged at idle if the
electrical loads are very high. This is true for
all vehicles. This is because the generator
(alternator) may not be spinning fast
enough at idle to produce all of the power
needed for very high electrical loads.
A high electrical load occurs when several of
the following are on, such as: headlamps,
high beams, rear window defogger, climate
control fan at high speed, heated seats,
engine cooling fans, trailer loads, and loads
plugged into accessory power outlets.
EPM works to prevent excessive discharge of
the battery. It does this by balancing the
generator's output and the vehicle's
electrical needs. It can increase engine idle
speed to generate more power whenever
needed. It can temporarily reduce the power
demands of some accessories.
Normally, these actions occur in steps or
levels, without being noticeable. In rare
cases at the highest levels of corrective
action, this action may be noticeable to the
driver. If so, a DIC battery voltage and
charging message displays. It is
recommended that the driver reduce the
electrical loads as much as possible.

K:Press to turn the rear window defogger
on or off. An indicator light on the button

in accessory mode.
To turn Auto Defog off or on, select Settings
> Climate and Air Quality > Auto Rear Defog
> Select ON or OFF. When Auto Rear Defog
is selected, the rear window defogger turns
on automatically when the interior
temperature is cold and the outside
temperature is about 7 °C (44 °F) and below.
The auto rear defogger turns off
automatically.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated
outside mirrors, they turn on when the rear
window defogger button is on and help to
clear fog or frost from the surface of the
mirror. See Heated Mirrors 028.
Caution
Do not try to clear frost or other material
from the inside of the front windshield
and rear window with a razor blade or

anything else that is sharp. This may
damage the rear window defogger grid
and affect the radio's ability to pick up

Heated and Ventilated Front Seats 042.
{orC:If equipped, press{orCto
ventilate the driver or passenger seat. See
Heated and Ventilated Front Seats 042.
Remote Start Climate Control Operation :
If equipped with remote start, the climate
control system may run when the vehicle is
started remotely. The system will use the
defrost setting if it is cold outside or turn
on using the coldest settings if it is hot
outside. The rear defog may come on during
remote start based on cold ambient
conditions. The rear defog indicator light
does not come on during a remote start.
If equipped, the heated seats will turn on if
it is cold outside or the ventilated seats will
turn on if it is hot outside. The heated and
ventilated seat indicator lights may not
come on during a remote start. If equipped, the heated steering wheel will come on in a
remote start if it is cold outside. The heated
steering wheel indicator light may not come
on. See
Remote Vehicle Start 014 and
Heated and Ventilated Front Seats 042.
Sensor
The solar sensor, on top of the instrument
panel near the windshield, monitors the
solar heat.
The climate control system uses the sensor
information to adjust the temperature, fan
speed, recirculation, and air delivery mode
for best comfort.
Do not cover the sensor; otherwise the
automatic climate control system may not
work properly.
Afterblow Feature
If equipped, under certain conditions, the
fan may stay on or may turn on and off
several times after you turn off and lock the
vehicle. This is normal.
