Driver Memory Seat
Storing and recalling can be done with the
ignition in the ON mode, vehicle speed at
0 mph (0 km/h), and the driver’s side door
closed, or for three minutes after having
opened the driver's side door. An audible
chime is heard to confirm a memory
profile is set or recalled. To set a memory
profile, first adjust your seat (and power
mirror position if desired) until you are in
the desired position. Then, push the
memory button you want to assign the
set position to for 1.5 seconds. When a
new seat position is memorized, the
previously memorized position on the
same button is automatically
overwritten. Recalling a memorized
position can also be done for
approximately three minutes after the
doors are opened and for approximately
one minute after the engine is stopped.
To recall a memorized position, push the
assigned button briefly.
Warning!
Adjusting a seat while driving may be
dangerous. Moving a seat while driving
could result in loss of control which could
cause a collision and serious injury or death.
Seats should be adjusted before fastening
the seat belts and while the vehicle is parked.
Serious injury or death could result from a
poorly adjusted seat belt.
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so
that the shoulder belt is no longer resting
against your chest. In a collision you could
slide under the seat belt, which could result
in serious injury or death.
Heated Seats — If Equipped
Note: If your vehicle is equipped with
Sparco Racing Seats, they will not be
equipped with the heated seat feature.
With the engine in the ON position, push
the driver or passenger heated seat
button
located on the instrument
panel.
You can select three heating levels:
Maximum — three LED indicators
illuminated on the buttons.
Average — two LED indicators
illuminated on the buttons.
Minimum — one LED indicator
illuminated on the buttons. After selecting a heating level, heat will
be felt within a few minutes.
A quick push of the heated seat button
will select the heat levels in order of
highest to lowest. A fourth push of the
button will turn the heated seat off.
The “minimum” setting is automatically
deactivated once a certain period of time
has elapsed. This varies on a
case-by-case basis, in accordance with
the specific operating conditions.
Rear Heated Seats
If equipped with rear heated seats, the
controls can be found on the rear of the
center console and will function the same
as the front heated seat controls.
Note:
To preserve the battery charge,
this function cannot be activated when
the engine is off.
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 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

automatic dimming feature is also
available on the outside rear view mirrors
to prevent glare. The automatic dimming
button is the same for all rear view mirrors.
Warning!
Vehicles and other objects seen in an outside
convex mirror will look smaller and farther
away than they really are. Relying too much
on side convex mirrors could cause you to
collide with another vehicle or other object.

or distance of a vehicle seen in a side convex
mirror.
Heated Mirrors
Push the rear defrostbutton in the
climate controls to activate the heated
mirrors.

AUXILIARY DRIVING SYSTEMS
The following auxiliary driving systems
are standard in this vehicle:
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system
uses two radar sensors, located in the
rear bumper (one for each side), to detect
the presence of other vehicles in the rear
side blind spots of your vehicle.
The system warns the driver about the
presence of other vehicles in the
detection area by illuminating the
warning light located within the door
mirror on the side in which the other
vehicle was detected. If equipped, an audible chime will also be heard to alert
the driver (if option is selected within the
Information and Entertainment System).
When the engine is started the warning
light turns on to signal the driver that the
system is active.
Sensors
The sensors are activated when any
forward gear is engaged at a speed
higher than 6 mph (10 km/h) or when
REVERSE is engaged.
The sensors are temporarily deactivated
when the vehicle is in PARK.
The detection area of the system covers
approximately one lane on both sides of
the vehicle.
This area begins from the door mirror and
extends for 19 ft (6 m) towards the rear
part of the vehicle.
When the sensors are active, the system
monitors the detection areas on bothsides of the vehicle and warns the driver
about the possible presence of vehicles
in these areas.
While driving, the system monitors the
detection area from three different points
(side, rear and front) to check whether an
alert needs to be sent to the driver.
The system can detect the presence of a
vehicle in one of these three areas.
Note:
The system does not alert the driver
for the presence of fixed object (e.g.
safety barriers, poles, walls, etc.).
However, in some circumstances, the
system may activate in the presence of
these objects. This is normal and does
not indicate a system malfunction.
The system does not alert the driver
about the presence of vehicles coming
from the opposite direction, in the
adjacent lanes.
Warning!
The Blind Spot Monitoring system is only an
aid to help detect objects in the blind spot
zones. The BSM system is not designed to
detect pedestrians, bicyclists, or animals.
Even if your vehicle is equipped with the BSM
system, always check your vehicle’s mirrors,
glance over your shoulder, and use your turn
signal before changing lanes. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.06016S0001EMRear Sensor Location
