Rear Seat Power Folding Seatbacks —
If Equipped
If the vehicle is equipped with third row seating, the
second and third rows may be equipped with
power folding seatbacks.
A one-touch power folding seat switch is located in
the right rear trim panel inside the cargo area, as
part of a switch bank.
NOTE:
You may need to move the front seats forward to
allow the second row seats to fold properly, as
they may bump into the Rear Seat Entertain -
ment touchscreens (if equipped).
The third row seat belts may interfere with the
power folding of the seat. Place the seat belt
webbing behind the stow clip before stowing or
opening the seat. When the seat is in the
desired position, remove the webbing from the
stow clip so that it is ready for use. Never leave
the seat belt in the stow clip when it is used to
restrain an occupant.
The head restraints will lower automatically as
necessary when the power seat begins to move
when the vehicle is in PARK, and a rear door or
the liftgate is open.
The rear switch bank allows multiple power folding
positions for the second and third row seats. The
second row seats can be folded using these
switches, while the third row can be folded or
unfolded.

Rear Panel Power Switch Bank
There are also power folding switches for the third
row seats located on the C-pillar (just behind the
rear doors on the trim panels).

C-Pillar Power Folding Switches (Left Side Shown)

near the handle, or through the Comfort screen on
the radio.
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.

diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication,
alcohol use, exhaustion 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 over -
heated could cause serious burns due to the
increased surface temperature of the seat.

Sun Screen Extended

To lower the sun screen, gently lift the tab upward
to disengage the hooks, and feed the screen back
into the base sill.
USB/AUX CONTROL
This feature allows an external USB device to be
plugged into one of the USB ports, located in the
center stack of the instrument panel.
Plugging in a smartphone device to a USB port will
activate Android Auto™ or Apple CarPlay®
features, if equipped. For further information, refer
to “Android Auto™” or “Apple CarPlay®” in the
Uconnect Radio Instruction Manual.
NOTE:Two devices can be plugged in at the same time,
and both ports will provide charging capabilities.
Only one port can transfer data to the system at a
time. For example, if a device is plugged into the Type A
USB port and another device is plugged into the
Type C USB port, a message will appear and allow
you to select which device to use.
The following messages will appear when a
non-phone device is plugged into the smaller and
larger USB ports, and when a phone device is
plugged into the smaller and larger USB ports:
“A new device is now connected. Previous
connection was lost.”
“(Phone Name) now connected. Previous
connection was lost.”
“Another device is in use through the same USB
port. Please disconnect the first device to use
the second device.”
Plugging in a phone or another USB device may
cause the connection to a previous device to be
lost.
Connecting AUX Or The External USB
Device
Use a connection cable to connect an external USB
device to the vehicle’s USB port, or use an auxiliary
cable to connect a device to the vehicle’s AUX port.
Both are located below the climate controls.
USB/AUX Ports

Once a device is connected to the USB port, it will
begin charging and is ready for use with the
system. Type C and Type A charge-only USB ports
can be used at the same time but cannot be used
simultaneously while playing media. When both
Type C and Type A charge-only USB ports are in use
they will be charged at a reduced rate.
NOTE:If the device’s battery completely discharges, it
may not communicate with the Uconnect system
until a minimum charge is attained. Leaving the
device connected to the USB port may charge it to
the required level.
