58 Seats and Restraints
Remote Start Auto Heated Seats
During a remote start, the heated
seats can be turned on
automatically. When it is cold
outside, the heated seats will turn
on followed by the heated steering
wheel, if equipped. If the vehicle has
auto heated seats, the seat heating
level will automatically change to
the level required by the vehicle's
interior temperature.
The indicator lights on the heated
seat and heated steering wheel
buttons do not turn on during a
remote start.
The heated seats will not turn on
during a remote start unless the
heated seats feature is enabled in
vehicle personalization. SeeVehicle
Personalization 0137.Rear Seats
Rear Seat Reminder
If equipped, the message REAR
SEAT REMINDER LOOK IN REAR
SEAT displays under certain
conditions indicating there may be
an item or passenger in the rear
seat. Check before exiting the
vehicle.
This feature will activate when a
second row door is opened while
the vehicle is on or up to 10 minutes
before the vehicle is turned on.
There will be an alert when the
vehicle is turned off. The alert does
not directly detect objects in the rear
seat; instead, under certain
conditions, it detects when a rear
door is opened and closed,
indicating that there may be
something in the rear seat.
The feature is active only once each
time the vehicle is turned on and off,
and will require reactivation by
opening and closing the second row
doors. There may be an alert even
when there is nothing in the rear
seat; for example, if a child entered the vehicle through the rear door
and left the vehicle without the
vehicle being shut off.
The feature can be turned on or off.
See
Vehicle Personalization 0137.
Folding the Seatback
{Warning
If either seatback is not locked, it
could move forward in a sudden
stop or crash. That could cause
injury to the person sitting there.
Always push and pull on the
seatbacks to be sure they are
locked.
{Warning
A seat belt that is improperly
routed, not properly attached,
or twisted will not provide the
protection needed in a crash. The
person wearing the belt could be
seriously injured. After raising the

Steering Wheel
Adjustment
To adjust the steering wheel:1. Pull the lever down.
2. Move the steering wheel up or down.
3. Pull or push the steering wheel closer or away from you.
4. Pull the lever up to lock the steering wheel in place. Do not adjust the steering wheel
while driving.
Steering Wheel Controls
The infotainment system can be
operated by using the steering
wheel controls. See
“Steering Wheel
Controls” in the infotainment
manual.
Heated Steering Wheel
(: If equipped, press to turn on or
off. An indicator light on the button
displays when the feature is
turned on. The steering wheel takes about
three minutes to start heating.
If equipped with an auto heated
steering wheel, the heated steering
wheel will turn on automatically in
remote start along with the heated
seats when it is cold outside. The
heated steering wheel indicator light
will not come on. See
Heated Front
Seats 057.
Horn
Pressaon the steering wheel pad
to sound the horn.
Pedestrian Safety Signal
The vehicle is equipped with
automatic sound generation.
The automatic sound is generated
to indicate the vehicle presence to
pedestrians. The sound changes if
the vehicle is speeding up or
slowing down. It is activated when
the vehicle is shifted into a forward
gear or R (Reverse), up to 33 km/h
(20 mph).

for information on filling the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.
{Warning
In freezing weather, do not use
the washer until the windshield is
warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the
windshield, blocking your vision.
Compass
The vehicle may have a compass
display on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The compass receives
its heading and other information
from the Global Positioning
System (GPS) antenna, StabiliTrak/
Electronic Stability Control (ESC),
and vehicle speed information.
The compass system is designed to
operate for a certain number of
miles or degrees of turn before
needing a signal from the GPS
satellites. When the compass
display shows CAL, drive the
vehicle for a short distance in an open area where it can receive a
GPS signal. The compass system
will automatically determine when a
GPS signal is restored and provide
a heading again.
Clock
The time and date for the clock can
be set using the infotainment
system. See
“Time/Date”in
“System” under“Settings” in the
infotainment manual.
Power Outlets
The accessory power outlets can be
used to plug in electrical equipment,
such as a cell phone or MP3 player.
There are two accessory power
outlets:
. In the storage area below the
climate control system.
. On the rear of the front console
armrest. The power outlets supply power
while the vehicle is on, or if the
vehicle is in Retained Accessory
Power (RAP). See
Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) 0171.
Lift the cover to access and replace
when not in use.
Certain accessory plugs may not be
compatible with the accessory
power outlet and could overload
vehicle or adapter fuses. If a
problem is experienced, see your
dealer.
When adding electrical equipment,
be sure to follow the installation
instructions included with the
equipment. See Add-On Electrical
Equipment 0233.
Caution
Hanging heavy equipment from
the power outlet can cause
damage not covered by the
vehicle warranty. The power
outlets are designed for
accessory power plugs only, such
as cell phone charge cords.

Gauges, and
Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can
signal that something is wrong
before it becomes serious enough
to cause an expensive repair or
replacement. Paying attention to the
warning lights and gauges could
prevent injury.
Some warning lights come on briefly
when the propulsion system is
started to indicate they are working.
When one of the warning lights
comes on and stays on while
driving, or when one of the gauges
shows there may be a problem,
check the section that explains what
to do. Waiting to do repairs can be
costly and even dangerous.
Instrument Cluster
The instrument cluster displays a
preview of information that includes
electric range, charging, odometer,
and battery status. This happens
upon entry when the driver door is
opened before starting the vehicle.
The CHARGING OVERRIDE/
INTERRUPTION OCCURRED
message may display to indicate
that a charging override or
interruption has occurred due to one
or more of the following events:
.Override of the charge settings
by the owner.
. Unintended interruption of AC
power at the vehicle's
charge port.
. Interruption of charging by the
utility company.

This gauge shows the high voltage
battery charge level.
The arrow next to the battery
symbol points to the side of the

See Electric Mode 0174.
EV Range is an estimate based on
recent driving history and energy
usage. It predicts the range based
on past driving history. Mileage may
vary depending on current drive
cycle conditions.

Fuel Gauge
When the power button is on, the
fuel gauge indicates about how
much fuel is left in the tank.
There is an arrow near the fuel
gauge pointing to the side of the
vehicle the fuel door is on.
When the indicator nears empty, the
low fuel light comes on. There still is
a little fuel left, but the vehicle
should be refueled soon.Here are some things that owners
ask about. None of these show a
problem with the fuel gauge:
.
At the service station, the fuel
pump shuts off before the gauge
reads full.
. It takes a little more or less fuel
to fill up than the gauge
indicated. For example, the
gauge may have indicated the
tank was half full, but it actually
took a little more or less than
half the tank's capacity to fill
the tank.
. The gauge takes a few seconds
to stabilize after the vehicle is
turned on, and goes back to
empty when the vehicle is
turned off.
Driver Efficiency Gauge
This gauge appears on the left side
of the display in the Enhanced
layout.
This gauge is a guide for efficient
driving. Keep the ball green and in
the center of the gauge to help
maximize EV range and fuel
economy.
See Driving for Better Energy
Efficiency 027.
Accel : If the ball turns yellow and
travels above the center of the
gauge, acceleration is too
aggressive to optimize efficiency.
