E-ICER ACTIVATION — IF EQUIPPED
When Remote Start is active and the outside ambient
temperature is less than 33°F (0.6°C), the Windshield
Wiper De-Icer will activate. Exiting Remote Start will
resume its previous operation. If the Windshield Wiper
De-Icer was active, the timer and operation will continue.
REMOTE START CANCEL MESSAGE —

F EQUIPPED
One of the following messages will display in the
instrument cluster display if the vehicle fails to remote
start or exits Remote Start prematurely:
 Remote Start Canceled — Door Open
 Remote Start Canceled — Hood Open
 Remote Start Canceled — Fuel Low
 Remote Start Canceled — Trunk Open
 Remote Start Disabled — Start Vehicle To Reset The message will stay active until the ignition is placed in
the ON/RUN position.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security system monitors the vehicle doors for
unauthorized entry and the Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Ignition
for unauthorized operation. While the Vehicle Security
system is armed, interior switches for door locks and trunk
release are disabled. If something triggers the alarm, the
Vehicle Security system will provide the following audible
and visible signals:

The horn will pulse
 The turn signals will flash
 The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will
flash
TO ARM THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to arm the Vehicle Security system:

1. Make sure the vehicle’s ignition is placed in the OFF
position.

2. Perform one of the following methods to lock the vehicle:
 Push lock on the interior power door lock switch
with the driver and/or passenger door open.
 Push the lock button on the exterior Passive Entry
door handle with a valid key fob available in the
same exterior zone
Úpage 22.
 Push the lock button on the key fob.
3. If any doors are open, close them.
TO DISARM THE SYSTEM
The Vehicle Security system can be disarmed using any of
the following methods:
 Push the unlock button on the key fob.
 Grab the Passive Entry door handle to unlock the door
Úpage 22.
 Push the START/STOP ignition button (requires at least
one valid key fob in the vehicle).
NOTE:
The driver's door key cylinder and the trunk button on
the key fob cannot arm or disarm the Vehicle Security
system.
 When the Vehicle Security system is armed, the interior
power door lock switches will not unlock the doors.
The Vehicle Security system is designed to protect your
vehicle. However, you can create conditions where the
system will give you a false alarm. If one of the previously
described arming sequences has occurred, the Vehicle
Security system will arm, regardless of whether you are in
the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle and open a
door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the
Vehicle Security system.
If the Vehicle Security system is armed and the battery
becomes disconnected, the Vehicle Security system will
remain armed when the battery is reconnected; the
exterior lights will flash, and the horn will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security system.

PROGRAMMING THE MEMORY FEATURE
To create a new memory profile, perform the following:
NOTE:Saving a new memory profile will erase the selected profile
from memory.

1. Place the vehicle’s ignition in the ON/RUN position
(do not start the engine).

2. Adjust all memory profile settings to desired preferences (i.e., seat, side mirror, power tilt and
telescopic steering column [if equipped], and radio
station presets).
3. Push and release the set (S) button on the memory switch, and then push the desired memory button
(1 or 2) within five seconds. The instrument cluster
display will display which memory position has been
set.
NOTE:Memory profiles can be set without the vehicle in PARK,
but the vehicle must be in PARK to recall a memory profile.
LINKING AND UNLINKING THE KEY FOB
T
O MEMORY
Your key fobs can be programmed to recall one of two
saved memory profiles.
NOTE:Before programming your key fobs you must select the
“Personal Settings Linked To Key Fob” feature through the
Uconnect system
Úpage 107. To program your key fobs, perform the following:

1. Place the vehicle’s ignition in the OFF position.

2. Select a desired memory profile, 1 or 2.
3. Once the profile has been recalled, push and release
the set (S) button on the memory switch.
4. Within five seconds, push and release button (1) or (2) accordingly. “Memory Profile Set” (1 or 2) will
display in the instrument cluster.
5. Push and release the lock button on the key fob within 10 seconds.
NOTE:Your key fob can be unlinked from your memory settings
by pushing the set (S) button, followed by pushing the
unlock button on the key fob within 10 seconds.
MEMORY POSITION RECALL
NOTE:If a recall is attempted when the vehicle is not in PARK, a
message will be displayed in the instrument cluster
display.
To recall the memory settings for driver one or two, push
the desired memory button number (1 or 2) or the unlock
button on the key fob linked to the desired memory
position.
A recall can be canceled by pushing any of the memory
buttons (S, 1, or 2) during a recall. When a recall is
canceled, the driver seat will stop moving. A delay of one
second will occur before another recall can be selected.
NOTE:If the vehicle is equipped with Passive Entry, the memory
settings are recalled when using Passive Entry to unlock
the driver's door with a linked key fob.
SEATS
Seats are a part of the Occupant Restraint system of the
vehicle.
WARNING!
It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or
outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in
these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or
killed.
 Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle
that is not equipped with seats and seat belts. In a
collision, people riding in these areas are more likely
to be seriously injured or killed.
 Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and
using a seat belt properly.

23_LA_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 28

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE33
PASSENGER SEAT EASY ENTRY
On the passenger seat, pull forward on the lever located
on the side of the seatback in order to dump the seatback
and slide the seat forward. You can also temporarily
remove the seat belt from the guide loop on the seat and
allow the seat belt to retract out of the way. This allows for
easier access to the rear seat. To return the seat to a
normal seating position, first return the seatback to its
original recline location and then slide the entire seatback
to the preset lock position.

Easy Entry Lever

NOTE:
The front passenger seat needs to slide back to a
preset position for the fore/aft adjuster to be properly
locked. For example, if the front passenger has the
seat adjusted full rear and exits the vehicle to let a rear
passenger enter using the easy entry handle, the fore/
aft adjuster needs to slide back about 2/3 of the way
rearward to hit the lock position. If the adjuster is not
returned to this preset position, the seat will appear to
be loose.
 If the front passenger uses the easy entry handle and
then lifts up the recliner handle without moving the
seatback to its original preset position, the recliner will
not lock until it is moved to the full recline position.
Driver’s Side Easy Entry
The easy entry lever on the outboard side of the driver’s
seatback will dump the seatback forward to allow for
easier access to the rear seats. The seat bottom will not
slide forward as the passenger side easy entry will. If
needed, use the driver’s side seat control to slide forward.
To return the seat to the normal position, push the
seatback up and it will lock into the previously set recline
position. Then if needed, use the seat control to adjust the
forward/rearward position.

It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or
outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in
this area are more likely to be seriously injured or
killed.
 Only ride in available seating positions equipped with
seat belt systems. Always properly wear your seat
belt. Failure to do so could result in an increased risk
of serious injury or death in the event of an accident.
 Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and
using a seat belt properly. Occupants, including the
driver, should always wear their seat belts whether or
not an air bag is also provided at their seating posi -
tions to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in
the event of a crash.
 All occupants, including the driver, should not
operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat if the head
restraints are not in place of their proper positions in
order to minimize the risk of neck injury in the event
of a crash.
 Head restraints should never be adjusted while the
vehicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle with the head
restraints improperly adjusted or removed could
cause serious injury or death in the event of a
collision.WARNING!
