Front Heated Seats
The front heated seats control buttons are
located within the Uconnect system. You can
gain access to the control buttons through the
climate screen and the controls screen.
You can choose from HI, LO, or OFF heat settings. The
indicator arrows in touchscreen buttons indicate the level
of heat in use. Two indicator arrows will illuminate for HI,
and one for LO. Turning the heating elements off will
return the user to the radio screen.
 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.
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.
 If the HI-level setting is selected, the system will auto -
matically switch to LO-level after approximately
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. For information on use with the Remote Start system, see
Úpage 18.
FRONT VENTILATED SEATS —
I
F EQUIPPED
The ventilated seats are equipped with fans
that can be controlled through the climate and
control screen in the Uconnect system. The
fans operate at two speeds: HI and LO.
 Press the ventilated seat button once to choose HI.
 Press the ventilated seat button a second time to
choose LO.
 Press the ventilated seat button a third time to turn the
ventilated seat off.
NOTE:The engine must be running for the ventilated seats to
operate.
For information on use with the Remote Start system, see
Úpage 18.
VEHICLES WITHOUT PASSENGER
S
EATING INSTALLED
All passenger occupants within the vehicle must be in a
seat equipped with a Seat Belt System and Head Restraint
for the safety of the passenger. If the passenger and/or
rear seats have been removed, do not ride in those areas.
This vehicle has been designed to maximize total
performance. In doing so, the deletion of passenger seats
and/or rear seat may affect the Noise, Vibration, and
Harshness (NVH) characteristics. As a result, the interior
will be louder overall.
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.
WARNING!
If the passenger and/or rear seats have been
removed, do not ride in those areas. In a collision,
people riding in these areas are more likely to be seri -
ously injured or killed.
 If this vehicle was not factory equipped with a
passenger seat, NEVER attempt to install a
passenger seat because the safety systems,
including the air bags and seat belt, may not properly
protect you.

programmed to activate the device you are trying to
program your HomeLink® button to.
Ensure that your vehicle is parked outside of the garage
before you begin programming.
It is recommended that you erase all the channels of your
HomeLink® before you use it for the first time.

Rain Sensing performance.
 The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and off
using the Uconnect system
Úpage 107.
The Rain Sensing system has protection features for the
wiper blades and arms, and will not operate under the
following conditions:
 Low Ambient Temperature — When the ignition is first
placed in the ON position, the Rain Sensing system will
not operate until the wiper switch is moved, vehicle
speed is greater than 0 mph (0 km/h), or the outside
temperature is greater than 32°F (0°C). 
Transmission In NEUTRAL Position — When the ignition
is ON, and the transmission is in the NEUTRAL position,
the Rain Sensing system will not operate until the wiper
switch is moved, vehicle speed is greater than 3 mph
(5 km/h), or the gear selector is moved out of the
NEUTRAL position.

Safe Usage Of The Uconnect System
The Uconnect system is a sophisticated electronic
device. Do not let young children use the system.
 Permanent hearing loss may occur if you play your
music or sound system at loud volumes. Exercise
caution when setting the volume on the system.
 Keep drinks, rain and other sources of moisture away
from the system. Besides damage to the system,
moisture can cause electric shocks as with any
electronic device.
NOTE:Many features of this system are speed dependent.
For your own safety, it is not possible to use some of the
touchscreen features while the vehicle is in motion.
Care And Maintenance
Do not press the touchscreen with any hard or sharp
objects (pen, USB stick, jewelry, etc.), which could
scratch the surface.
 Do not spray any liquid or chemicals directly on the
screen! Use a clean and dry microfiber lens cleaning
cloth in order to clean the touchscreen.
 If necessary, use a lint-free cloth dampened with a
cleaning solution, such as isopropyl alcohol or an
isopropyl alcohol and water solution ratio of 50:50. Be
sure to follow the solvent manufacturer's precautions
and directions
