SEATS
Seats are a part of the Occupant Restraint System of the
vehicle.
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 seriously injured or killed.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and
using a seat belt properly.
Manual Adjustment (Front Seats) — If Equipped
WARNING!
• Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is
dangerous. The sudden movement of the seat could
cause you to lose control. The seat belt might not be
adjusted properly and you could be injured. Adjust
the seat only while the vehicle is parked.
• 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 and
be seriously or even fatally injured. Use the recliner
only when the vehicle is parked.
Manual Front Seats Forward/Rearward Adjustment
The adjusting bar is located at the front of the seat, near the
floor. Pull the bar upward to move the seat forward or
rearward. Release the bar once the seat is in the desired
position. Using body pressure, move forward and rear-
ward on the seat to be sure that the seat adjusters have

Manual Adjustment (Rear Seats)
Folding Rear Seat
The rear seatbacks can be folded forward to provide
additional storage area. Pull on the loops located on the
upper part of the rear seatback to fold down either or both
seatbacks. These loops can be tucked away when not in
use.
NOTE:You may experience deformation in the seat cush-
ion from the seat belt buckles if the seats are left folded for
an extended period of time. This is normal and, by simply
opening the seats to the open position, over time the seat
cushion will return to its normal shape.

•Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into
position. If the seatback is not securely locked into
position, the seat will not provide the proper stabil-
ity for child seats and/or passengers. An improperly
latched seat could cause serious injury.

WARNING! (Continued)
•The cargo area in the rear of the vehicle (with the rear
seatbacks in the locked-up or folded down position)

the vehicle is in motion. They could be seriously
injured in a collision. Children should be seated and
using the proper restraint system.

WARNING!(Continued)
spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-
tion 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 overheated could cause serious
burns due to the increased surface temperature of the
seat.
Front Heated Seats
The front heated seat control buttons are located within the
climate or controls screen of the touchscreen.
You can choose from HI, LO, or OFF heat settings. The
indicator arrows in touchscreen buttons indicate the level
of heat in use. Two indicator arrows will illuminate for HI,
and one for LO. Turning the heating elements off will
return the user to the radio screen.
• Press the heated seat button
once to turn the HI
setting on.
• Press the heated seat buttona second time to turn
the LO setting on.
• Press the heated seat buttona third time to turn the
heating elements off.
If the HI-level setting is selected, the system will automati-
cally switch to LO-level after approximately 60 minutes of
continuous operation. At that time, the display will change
from HI to LO, indicating the change. The LO-level setting
will turn off automatically after approximately 45 minutes.
NOTE:
• Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be felt within
two to five minutes.
• The engine must be running for the heated seats to
operate.
Vehicles Equipped With Remote Start
On models that are equipped with remote start, the heated
seats can be programmed to come on during a remote start.
This feature can be programmed through the Uconnect
system. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for
further information.3

draw the air from the passenger compartment and move
air through fine perforations in the seat cover to help keep
the driver and front passenger cooler in higher ambient

within the Uconnect system. You can gain access to the
control buttons through the climate screen or the controls
screen.

Vehicles Without Passenger Seating Installed
All passenger occupants within the vehicle must be in a
seat equipped with a Seat Belt System and Head Restraint
for the safety of the passenger. If the passenger and/or rear
seats have been removed, do not ride in those areas.
This vehicle has been designed to maximize total perfor-
mance. In doing so, the deletion of passenger seats and/or
rear seat may affect the NVH (Noise, Vibration, and
Harshness) characteristics. As a result, the interior (driver
cockpit) Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) will be
louder overall.
WARNING!
•If the passenger and/or rear seats have been re-
moved, do not ride in those areas. In a collision,
people riding in these areas are more likely to be
seriously injured or killed.
• If this vehicle was not factory equipped with a
passenger seat, NEVER attempt to install a passenger
seat because the safety systems, including the air
bags and seatbelt, may not properly protect you.

WARNING! (Continued)
•It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or
outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in
this area are more likely to be seriously injured or
killed.
• Only ride in available seating positions equipped
with seat belt systems. Always properly wear your
seat belt. Failure to do so could result in an increased
risk of serious injury or death in the event of an
accident.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and
using a seat belt properly. Occupants, including the
driver, should always wear their seat belts whether
or not an air bag is also provided at their seating
positions to minimize the risk of severe injury or
death in the event of a crash.
• All occupants, including the driver, should not oper-
ate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat if the head
restraints are not in place of their proper positions in
order to minimize the risk of neck injury in the event
of a crash.
