HEATED STEERING WHEEL —
I
F EQUIPPED
The steering wheel contains a heating
element that helps warm your hands in
cold w e
ather. The heated steering wheel
has only one temperature setting. Once
the heated steering wheel switch has been turned
on, it will stay on for an average of 80 minutes or
more be

fore automatically shutting off. This time
will vary based on environmental temperatures.
The heated steering wheel can shut off early or
may not turn on when the steering wheel is already
warm. The heated steering wheel control button is
located in your vehicle’s touchscreen or on the
instrument panel.
For information on use with the Remote Start
syste m

, see Ú page 19.
SEATS
Seats are a part of the Occupant Restraint system
of the vehicle.
WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column while driving.
Adjusting the steering column while driving or
driving with the steering column unlocked, could
cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
Failure to follow this warning may result in
serious injury or death.
WARNING!
Persons who are unable to feel pain to the
skin because of advanced age, chronic illness,
diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication,
alcohol use, exhaustion, or other physical
conditions must exercise care when using the
steering wheel heater. It may cause burns
even at low temperatures, especially if used
for long periods.
Do not place anything on the steering wheel
that insulates against heat, such as a blanket
or steering wheel covers of any type and mate
-
rial. This may cause the steering wheel heater
to over h

eat.
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 seri -
ously injured or killed.

F94 Fuse 15A Blue Instrument Panel Power Outlet

POWER INVERTER — IF EQUIPPED
There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt Power Inverter outlet
located on the back of the center console to
convert DC current to AC current. The Power
Inverter can power cellular phones, electronics
and other low power devices requiring up to

150 Watts. Certain video game consoles will
excee d

this power limit, as will most power tools.
115 Volt Power Inverter

The Power Inverter will automatically turn on and
off wh e

n a device is plugged in or removed.
In order for the Power Inverter to work, the engine
must b
e running and there must be no faults
detected with the alternator.
The Power Inverter is designed with built-in
overloa d

protection. If the power rating of
150 Watts is exceeded, the Power Inverter will
a utomat

ically shut down. Once the electrical
device has been removed from the Power Inverter
it will automatically reset. To avoid overloading the
circuit, check the power ratings on electrical
devices prior to using the Power Inverter.
CAUTION!
Many accessories that can be plugged in draw
power from the vehicle's battery, even when
not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventu -
ally, if plugged in long enough, the vehicle's
batte r

y will discharge sufficiently to degrade
battery life and/or prevent the engine from
starting.
Accessories that draw higher power (i.e.,
coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will
degrade the battery even more quickly. Only
use these intermittently and with greater
caution.
After the use of high power draw accessories,
or long periods of the vehicle not being started
(with accessories still plugged in), the vehicle
must be driven a sufficient length of time to
allow the generator to recharge the vehicle's
battery.

228 SAFETY
AUXILIARY DRIVING SYSTEMS
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) —
I
F EQUIPPED
BSM uses two radar-based sensors, located inside
the rear fascia/bumper to detect highway
licensable vehicles (automobiles, trucks,
motorcycles, etc.) that enter the blind spot zones
from the rear/front/side of the vehicle.

Rear Detection Zones

When the vehicle is started, the BSM Warning Light
will m
omentarily illuminate in both outside rearview mirrors to let the driver know that the
system is operational. The BSM system sensors
operate when the vehicle is in any forward gear
and enters standby mode when the vehicle is in
PARK (P).
The BSM detection zone covers approximately one
lane
w

idth on both sides of the vehicle, 10 ft (3 m).
The z on
e length starts at the outside mirror and
extends approximately 20 ft (6 m) beyond the rear
fascia

/bumper of the vehicle. The BSM system
monitors the detection zones on both sides of the
vehicle when the vehicle speed reaches
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or higher and will
alert

the driver of vehicles in these areas.
NOTE:
The BSM system DOES NOT alert the driver
about rapidly approaching vehicles that are
outside the detection zones.
If a trailer is connected to the vehicle, it is neces -
sary to deactivate the BSM system manually
t h r
ou g
h
the settings menu to avoid a misdetec -
tion. For further information, see Ú page 133.
The area on the rear fascia/bumper where the
r adar

sensors are located must remain free of
snow, ice, and dirt/road contamination so that the
BSM system can function properly. Do not block
the radar sensors located on the rear fascia/
bumper with foreign objects (bumper stickers,
bicycle racks, etc.).
Rear Sensor Locations

The BSM system notifies the driver of objects in the
detec t

ion zones by illuminating the BSM warning
light located in the outside mirrors in addition to
sounding an audible (chime) alert and reducing the
radio volume Ú page 231.

BSM Warning Light

WARNING!
If TSC activates while driving, slow the vehicle
down, stop at the nearest safe location, and
adjust the trailer load to eliminate trailer sway.
