Rear Heated Seats
On some models, the two outboard 
rear seats are equipped with heated 
seats. The heated seat switches for these 
seats are located on the rear of the 
center console.
There are two heated seat switches that allow 
the rear passengers to operate the seats 
independently. 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.
Push the heated seat button once to turn the 
HI setting on.
Push the heated seat button a second time to 
turn the LO setting on.
Push the heated seat button a third time to turn 
the heating elements off.
NOTE:The level of heat selected will stay on until the 
operator changes it.
FRONT VENTILATED SEATS — 
I
F EQUIPPED  
Located in the seat cushion and seat 
back are fans that draw the air from the 
passenger compartment and move air 
through fine perforations in the seat 
cover to help keep the driver and front passenger 
cooler in higher ambient temperatures. The fans 
operate at two speeds, HI and LO.
The front ventilated seats control buttons are 
located within the Uconnect system. You can gain 
access to the control buttons through the climate 
screen or the controls screen.
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  Ú page 20.
HEAD RESTRAINTS    
Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of 
injury by restricting head movement in the event of 
a rear impact. Head restraints should be adjusted 
so that the top of the head restraint is located 
above the top of your ear.
NOTE:Do not reverse the head restraints (making the 
rear of the head restraint face forward) in an 
attempt to gain additional clearance to the back of 
your head.
WARNING!
All occupants, including the driver, should not 
operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat until 
the head restraints are placed in 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.

Mist
Push the lever upward to the MIST position and 
release for a single wiping cycle.
NOTE:The mist feature does not activate the washer 
pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be sprayed on 
the windshield. The wash function must be used in 
order to spray the windshield with washer fluid.
For information on wiper care and replacement, 
see  Ú page 275.
RAIN SENSING WIPERS — IF EQUIPPED 
This feature senses rain or snow fall on the 
windshield and automatically activates the wipers. 
Rotate the end of the multifunction lever to one of 
two detent positions to activate this feature.
The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted with 
the multifunction lever. Wiper delay position one is 
the least sensitive, and wiper delay position two is 
the most sensitive. Place the wiper switch in the
O (off) position when not using the system.
NOTE:
The Rain Sensing feature will not operate when 
the wiper switch is in the low or high-speed posi -
tion.
The Rain Sensing feature may not function prop -
erly when ice, or dried salt water is present on 
the windshield.
Use of Rain-X or products containing wax or sili-
cone may reduce Rain Sensing performance.
The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and 
off through Uconnect Settings  Ú page 165.
The Rain Sensing system has protection features 
for the wiper blades and arms, and will not operate 
under the following conditions:
Change In Ignition Position — If the vehicle is in 
Rain Sensing mode and the ignition is cycled 
from OFF to ON, the auto wiper will be 
suppressed until vehicle speed is greater than 
3 mph (5 km/h), or the wiper switch is moved 
out of and back into the Intermittent wipe posi -
tion.
Transmission In NEUTRAL Position — The Rain 
Sensing system will not operate if the NEUTRAL 
gear is selected at speeds of 3 mph (5 km/h) or 
less unless the wiper switch is moved or the 
gear selector is moved out of NEUTRAL.
Remote Start Mode Inhibit  — On vehicles 
equipped with the Remote Start system, Rain 
Sensing wipers are not operational when the 
vehicle is in Remote Start mode. Once the oper -
ator is in the vehicle and has placed the ignition 
switch in the ON/RUN position, Rain Sensing 
wiper operation can resume, if it has been 
selected, and no other inhibit conditions 
(mentioned previously) exist.

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

80GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL  
The instrument cluster display will normally display 
the main menu or the screens of a selected feature 
of the main menu. The main display area also 
displays pop-up messages that consist of 
approximately 60 possible warning or information 
messages. These pop-up messages fall into 
several categories:
Five Second Stored Messages  
When the appropriate conditions occur, this 
type of message takes control of the main 
display area for five seconds and then returns to 
the previous screen. Most of the messages of 
this type are then stored (as long as the condi-
tion that activated it remains active) and can be 
reviewed from the “Messages” main menu item. 
Examples of this message type are “Right Front 
Turn Signal Lamp Out” and “Low Tire Pressure.”
Unstored Messages  
This message type is displayed indefinitely or 
until the condition that activated the message is 
cleared. Examples of this message type are 
“Turn Signal On” (if a turn signal is left on) and 
“Lights On” (if driver leaves the vehicle with the 
lights on).
Unstored Messages Until RUN  
These messages deal primarily with the Remote 
Start feature. This message type is displayed 
until the ignition is in the RUN state. Examples of 
this message type are “Remote Start Canceled - 
Door Ajar” and “Press Brake Pedal and Push 
Button to Start.”
Five Second Unstored Messages  
When the appropriate conditions occur, this 
type of message takes control of the main 
display area for five seconds and then returns to 
the previous screen. An example of this 
message type is “Automatic High Beams On.”
OIL CHANGE RESET  
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil 
change indicator system. The “Oil Change Due” 
message will display in the instrument cluster 
display for five seconds after a single chime has 
sounded, to indicate the next scheduled oil 
change interval. The engine oil change indicator 
system is duty cycle based, which means the 
engine oil change interval may fluctuate, depen -
dent upon your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to 
display each time the ignition is cycled to the 
ON/RUN position.
To reset the oil change indicator after performing 
the scheduled maintenance, refer to the following 
procedure:
1. Without pressing the brake pedal, push the  ENGINE START/STOP button and cycle the 
ignition to the ON/RUN position (do not start 
the engine).
2. Fully press the accelerator pedal, slowly, three  times within ten seconds.
3. Cycle the ignition to the OFF position.
NOTE:If the indicator message illuminates when you start 
the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not 
reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure.
