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 seriously injured or killed.
• Do not allow people to ride in any area of
your vehicle that is not equipped with seats
and seat belts. In a collision, people riding
in these areas are more likely to be seri-
ously injured or killed.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a
seat and using a seat belt properly.
Power Seats — If EquippedSome models may be equipped with eight-way
power driver and front passenger seats. The
power seat switches are located on the out-
board side of the seat. There are two switches
that control the movement of the seat cushion
and the seatback.

illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medi-
cation, 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 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
overheated could cause serious burns due
to the increased surface temperature of the
seat.
CAUTION!
Repeated overheating of the seat could dam-
age the heating element and/or degrade the
material of the seat. Vehicles Equipped with Remote Start
On models that are equipped with remote start,
the driver’s heated seat can be programmed to
come on during a remote start. Refer to “Re-
mote Starting System — If Equipped” in
“Things to Know Before Starting Your Vehicle”

Ventilated Seats — If EquippedOn some models, both the driver and passen-
ger seats are ventilated. Located in the seat
cushion and seatback are small fans that draw
the air from the passenger compartment and
blow air through fine perforations in the seat
cover to help keep the driver and front passen-
ger cooler in higher ambient temperatures.
There are two ventilated seat switches that
allow the driver and passenger to operate the
seats independently. The ventilated seat
switches are located on the switch bank in the
center stack of the instrument panel, just below
the climate controls.The ventilated seat
switches are used to
control the speed of the
fans located in the seat.
Press the switch once
to choose HIGH, press
it a second time to
choose LOW. Pressing
the switch a third time

lated seats to operate.
Vehicles Equipped with Remote Start
On models that are equipped with remote start,
the driver’s ventilated seat can be programmed
to come on during a remote start. Refer to
“Remote Starting System — If Equipped” in
“Things to Know Before Starting Your Vehicle”
for further information.
Head RestraintsHead 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.
WARNING!
The head restraints for all occupants must be
properly adjusted prior to operating the ve-
hicle or occupying a seat. 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.
Active Head Restraints — Front Seats
Active Head Restraints are passive, deployable
components, and vehicles with this equipment
cannot be readily identified by any markings,
only through visual inspection of the head re-
straint. The head restraint will be split in two
halves, with the front half being soft foam and
trim, the back half being decorative plastic.
When AHRs deploy during a rear impact, the
front half of the head restraint extends forward
to minimize the gap between the back of the
occupant’s head and the AHR. This system is
designed to help prevent or reduce the extent
of injuries to the driver and front passenger in
certain types of rear impacts. Refer to “Occu-

Headlight DelayTo aid in your exit, your vehicle is equipped with
a headlight delay that will leave the headlights
on for approximately 90 seconds. This delay is
initiated when the ignition is turned OFF while
the headlight switch is on, and then the head-
light switch is cycled off. Headlight delay can
be cancelled by either turning the headlight
switch on then off, or by turning the ignition ON.
The headlight delay time is programmable on
vehicles equipped with an Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC). Refer to “Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/Customer-
Programmable Features” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further information.

WARNING!
•Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a conve-
nience system. It is not a substitute for
active driving involvement. It is always the
driver’s responsibility to be attentive of
road, traffic, and weather conditions, ve-
hicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead;
and, most importantly, brake operation to
ensure safe operation of the vehicle under
all road conditions. Your complete attention
is always required while driving to maintain
safe control of your vehicle. Failure to fol-
low these warnings can result in a collision
or serious personal injury.
• The ACC system:
Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming
vehicles, and stationary objects (i.e., a
stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a
disabled vehicle).
Cannot take street, traffic, and weather
conditions into account, and may be
limited upon adverse sight distance con-
ditions.
(Continued)WARNING!(Continued)
Does not predict the lane curvature or
the movement of preceding vehicles and
will not compensate for such changes.
Does not always fully recognize com-
plex driving conditions, which can result
in wrong or missing distance warnings.
Can only apply a maximum of 25% of
the vehicle’s braking capability, and will
not bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
WARNING!
You should switch off the ACC system:
• When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy
snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex
driving situations (i.e., in highway construc-
tion zones).
• When entering a turn lane or highway off
ramp; when driving on roads that are wind-
ing, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or have
steep uphill or downhill slopes; and when
towing a trailer.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
• When circumstances do not allow safe
driving at a constant speed.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in a
collision or serious personal injury.
The Cruise Control system has two control
modes:
• Adaptive Cruise Control mode for maintain-
ing an appropriate distance between ve-
hicles.
• Normal (fixed speed) cruise control mode for
cruising at a constant preset speed. For
additional information, refer to “Normal
(Fixed Speed) Cruise Control Mode” in this
section. Note:The system will not react to
preceding vehicles. Always be aware of the
mode selected.
You can change the mode by using the Cruise
Control buttons. The two control modes func-
tion differently. Always confirm which mode is
selected.

The EVIC will return to the last display
selected after five seconds of no ACC
display activity.
Display Warnings and Maintenance
“Clean Radar Sensor In Front Of Vehicle”
Warning
The ACC “Clean Radar Sensor In Front Of
Vehicle” warning will display when conditions
temporarily limit system performance. This
most often occurs at times of poor visibility,
such as in snow or heavy rain. The ACC system
may also become temporarily blinded due to
obstructions, such as mud, dirt or ice. In these
cases, the EVIC will display “Clean Radar Sen-
sor In Front Of Vehicle” and the system will
deactivate.NOTE:
If the ACC “Clean Radar Sensor In Front Of
Vehicle” warning is active Normal (Fixed
Speed) Cruise Control is still available. For
additional information refer to “Normal
(Fixed Speed) Cruise Control Mode” in this
section.
If weather conditions are not a factor, the driver
should examine the sensor. It may require
cleaning or removal of an obstruction. The
sensor is located in the center of the vehicle
behind the lower grille.To keep the ACC System operating properly, it
is important to note the following maintenance
items:
•
Always keep the sensor clean. Carefully
wipe the sensor lens with a soft cloth. Be
cautious not to damage the sensor lens.
• Do not remove any screws from the sensor.
Doing so could cause an ACC system mal-
function or failure and require a sensor re-
alignment.
• If the sensor is damaged due to a collision,
see your authorized dealer for service.
• Do not attach or install any accessories near
the sensor, including transparent material or
aftermarket grilles. Doing so could cause an
ACC system failure or malfunction.
When the condition that deactivated the system
is no longer present, the system will return to
the “Adaptive Cruise Control Off” state and will
resume function by simply reactivating it.
NOTE:
Installing a vehicle front-end protector or an
aftermarket grille or modifying the grille is
