HEATED SEATS — IF EQUIPPED
On some models, the front seats may be
equipped with heaters located in the seat
cushions and seat backs.
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

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.
WARNING!
Persons who are unable to feel pain to the
skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medica
-
tion, alcohol use, exhaustion or other phys -
ical 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 seat -
back 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.

VEHICLES WITHOUT PASSENGER
S
EATING 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 performance. 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 will be
louder overall.
WARNING!
If the passenger and/or rear seats have
been removed, 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 seat -
belt, may not properly protect you.
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.

PASSENGER SEAT EASY ENTRY
On the passenger seat, pull forward on the lever
located on the side of the seatback in order to
dump the seatback and slide the seat forward.
You can also temporarily remove the seat belt
from the guide loop on the seat and allow the
seat belt to retract out of the way. This allows for easier access to the rear seat. To
return the seat to a normal seating position,
first return the seatback to its original recline
location and then slide the entire seat back to
the pre-set lock position.

Easy Entry Lever

NOTE:
The front passenger seat needs to slide back
to a pre-set position for the fore-aft adjuster
to be properly locked. For example, if the
front passenger has the seat adjusted full
rear and exits the vehicle to let a rear
passenger enter using the easy entry handle,
the fore-aft adjuster needs to slide back
about 2/3 of the way rearward to hit the lock
position. If the adjuster is not returned to this
pre-set position, the seat will appear to be
loose.
Also, if the front passenger uses the easy
entry handle and then lifts up the recliner
handle without moving the seat back to its
original pre-set position, the recliner will not
lock until it is moved to the full recline
position.
Driver’s Side Easy Entry
The easy entry lever on the outboard side of the
driver’s seatback will dump the seatback
forward to allow for easier access to the rear
seats. The seat bottom will not slide forward as
the passenger side easy entry will. If needed,
use the driver’s side seat control to slide
forward.
To return the seat to the normal position, push
the seatback up and it will lock into the
previously set recline position. Then if needed,
use the seat control to adjust the forward/
rearward position.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head 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.
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 operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s
seat if the head restraints are not in place
of their proper positions in order to mini -
mize the risk of neck injury in the event of a
crash.
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.

Do not reverse the head restraints (making the
rear of the head restraint face forward) in an
attempt to gain additional clearance to the back
of your head.
REACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINTS — FRONT
S
EATS
The front driver and passenger seats are
equipped with Reactive Head Restraints (RHR).
In the event of a rear impact, the RHR will
automatically extend forward minimizing the
gap between the back of the occupants head
and the RHR. The RHR will automatically return to their
normal position following a rear impact. If the
RHR do not return to their normal position, see
an authorized dealer immediately.

Head Restraint

To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the
head restraint. To lower the head restraint,
push the adjustment button located at the base
of the head restraint and push downward on the
head restraint.
To remove the head restraint, remove the seat
belt from the seat belt loop. Raise the head
restraint as far as it can go. Then, push the adjustment button and the
release button at the base of each post while
pulling the head restraint up. To reinstall the
head restraint, put the head restraint posts into
the holes while pushing the adjustment button
and release button. Then, adjust it to the
appropriate height.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to recline the front seat
before removing the head restraint to provide
enough clearance from the roof.
WARNING!
All occupants, including the driver, should
not operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s
seat until the head restraints are placed in
their proper positions in order to minimize
the risk of neck injury in the event of a
crash.
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.
