HEATED SEATS
Front Heated Seats — If Equipped
The front heated seats control buttons are
located in the touchscreen.
You can choose from HI, LO or off heat settings.
The 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.
Press the heated seat button once to turn the HI setting on.
Press the heated seat button a second time to turn the
LO setting on.
Press the heated seat button a third time to turn the
heating elements off.
The level of heat selected will stay on until the operator
changes it.
NOTE:
Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be felt within
two to five minutes.
The engine must be running for the heated seats to
operate.
For information on use with the Remote Start system, see
Úpage 15.
WARNING!
Adjusting a seat while driving may be dangerous.
Moving a seat while driving could result in loss of
control which could cause a collision and serious
injury or death.
Seats should be adjusted before fastening the seat belts
and while the vehicle is parked. Serious injury or death
could result from a poorly adjusted seat belt.
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the
shoulder belt is no longer resting against your chest.
In a collision you could slide under the seat belt,
which could result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
Do not place any article under a power seat or impede
its ability to move as it may cause damage to the seat
controls. Seat travel may become limited if movement
is stopped by an obstruction in the seat's path.
WARNING!
Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin
because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes,
spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus -
tion 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 overheated could cause serious
burns due to the increased surface temperature of
the seat.

Headlight Switch (Vehicles Sold In Canada Only)
NOTE:
Vehicles sold in Canada are equipped with a headlight
switch with an AUTO and ON detent but without an OFF
detent. Headlights will be deactivated when the headlight
switch is placed in the parking lights position. However,
the Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) will be activated along
with the front and rear marker lights. The DRLs may be
deactivated when the parking brake is engaged.
From the O (off) position, rotate the headlight switch
clockwise to the first detent for parking lights and
instrument panel lights operation. Rotate the headlight
switch to the second detent for headlights, parking lights
and instrument panel operation.
NOTE:For vehicles sold in Canada, rotate the headlight switch
clockwise from the parking light and instrument panel
light position to the first detent to turn on the headlights
also. Rotate to the second detent, AUTO position, to turn
on automatic headlights, parking lights, and instrument
panel lights.
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRLS) —
I
F EQUIPPED
The headlights or LED light bars on your vehicle will
illuminate when the engine is started. This provides a
constant lights on condition until the ignition is placed in
the OFF position. If the parking brake is applied, the
Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) will turn off.
NOTE:
For vehicles sold in Canada, the Daytime Running
Lights will automatically deactivate when the front fog
lights are turned on.
If allowed by law in the country in which the vehicle was
purchased, the Daytime Running Lights can be turned
on and off using the Uconnect system
Úpage 105.
On some vehicles, the Daytime Running Lights may
deactivate, or reduce intensity, on one side of the
vehicle (when a turn signal is activated on that side), or
on both sides of the vehicle (when the hazard warning
lights are activated).
HIGH/LOW BEAM SWITCH
Push the multifunction lever toward the instrument panel
to switch the headlights to high beams. Pulling the
multifunction lever back will turn the low beams on.
FLASH-TO-PASS
You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by
lightly pulling the multifunction lever toward you. This will
cause the high beam headlights to turn on, and remain on,
until the lever is released.
AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS — IF EQUIPPED
This system automatically turns your headlights on or off
based on ambient light levels. To turn the system on, turn
the headlight switch to the extreme clockwise position
aligning the indicator with the AUTO on the headlight
switch. When the system is on, the Headlight Time Delay
feature is also on. This means your headlights will stay on
for up to 90 seconds after the ignition is placed in the OFF
position. To turn the automatic system off, move the
headlight switch out of the AUTO position.
NOTE:The engine must be running before the headlights will
come on in the Automatic mode.

HEADLIGHT TIME DELAY — IF EQUIPPED
This feature provides the safety of headlight illumination
for up to 90 seconds after exiting your vehicle.
To activate the delay feature, place the ignition in the OFF
position while the headlights are still on. The 90 second
delay interval begins when headlight switch is turned off.
If the headlights or parking lights are turned back on or the
ignition is placed in the ON position, the delay will be
canceled.
When exiting the vehicle the driver can choose to have the
headlights remain on for 30, 60, or 90 seconds or not
remain on. You can change the timer setting through the
Uconnect system
Úpage 105.
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

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 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

several inches above the window sill.
AUTOMATIC WINDOW FEATURES
Auto-Down Feature
The driver and front passenger door power window
switches have an Auto-Down feature. Push the window
switch past the first detent, release, and the window will
go down automatically.
To stop the window from going all the way down during the
Auto-Down operation, pull up on the switch briefly. Auto-Up Feature With Anti-Pinch Protection
Lift the window switch fully upward to the second detent,
release, and the window will go up automatically.
To stop the window from going all the way up during the
Auto-Up operation, push down on the switch briefly.
To close the window part way, lift the window switch briefly
and release it when you want the window to stop.
If the window runs into any obstacle during auto-closure, it
will reverse direction and then go back down. Remove the
obstacle and use the window switch again to close the
window.
NOTE:Any impact due to rough road conditions may trigger the
auto-reverse function unexpectedly during auto-closure.
If this happens, pull the switch lightly and hold to close the
window manually.
RESET AUTO UP
To reactivate the Auto Up feature, perform the following
steps after vehicle power is restored:
1. Pull the window control up to close the window
completely and continue to hold the control up for
an additional two seconds after the window is
closed.
2. Push the window control down firmly to the second detent to open the window completely and continue
to hold the control down for an additional two
seconds after the window is fully open.
WIND BUFFETING
Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of
pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type sound in the
ears. Your vehicle 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 minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the rear
windows open, open the front and rear windows 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.
WARNING!
There is no anti-pinch protection when the window is
almost closed. To avoid personal injury be sure to clear
your arms, hands, fingers and all objects from the
window path before closing.
