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 Noise, Vibration, and
Harshness (NVH) characteristics. As a result, the interior
will be louder overall.
WARNING!
 Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin
because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes,
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.
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 seri -
ously 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.

23_LA_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 32

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE33
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 seatback
to the preset lock position.

Easy Entry Lever

NOTE:
The front passenger seat needs to slide back to a
preset 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 preset position, the seat will appear to
be loose.
 If the front passenger uses the easy entry handle and
then lifts up the recliner handle without moving the
seatback to its original preset 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.

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 posi -
tions 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 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.WARNING!

34GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
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.
NOTE:Do not reverse the head restraints (making the rear of the
head restraint face forward) in an attempt to gain addi -
tional clearance to the back of your head.
Reactive Head Restraints — Front Seats
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.
Rear Head Restraints
The rear outboard head restraints are non-adjustable and
are designed to reduce the risk of injury by restricting head
movement in the event of a rear impact.
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.
1 — Release Button
2 — Adjustment Button
3 — Seat Belt Loop
WARNING!
A loose head restraint thrown forward in a collision or
hard stop could cause serious injury or death to occu -
pants of the vehicle. Always securely stow removed
head restraints in a location outside the occupant
compartment.
 ALL the head restraints MUST be reinstalled in the
vehicle to properly protect the occupants. Follow the
previously described reinstallation instructions prior
to operating the vehicle or occupying a seat.
 Do not place items over the top of the Reactive Head
Restraint, such as coats, seat covers or portable DVD
players. These items may interfere with the operation
of the Reactive Head Restraint in the event of a colli -
sion and could result in serious injury or death.

AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL
(ATC)
Automatic Operation

1. Push the AUTO button on the faceplate, or the AUTO
button on the touchscreen on the Automatic
Temperature Control (ATC) Panel.

2. Next, adjust the temperature that you would like the system to maintain by adjusting the driver and
passenger temperature control buttons. Once the
desired temperature is displayed, the system will
achieve and automatically maintain that comfort
level.
3. When the system is set up for your comfort level, it is not necessary to change the settings. You will
experience the greatest efficiency by simply allowing
the system to function automatically.
NOTE:
It is not necessary to move the temperature settings for
cold or hot vehicles. The system automatically adjusts
the temperature, mode, and blower speed to provide
comfort as quickly as possible.
 The temperature can be displayed in US or Metric units
within Uconnect Settings
Úpage 107.
To provide you with maximum comfort in the Automatic
mode during cold start-ups, the blower fan will remain on
low until the engine warms up. The blower will increase in
speed and transition into Auto mode.
Manual Operation Override
This system offers a full complement of manual override
features. The AUTO symbol in the front ATC display will be
turned off when the system is being used in the manual
mode.
CLIMATE VOICE COMMANDS
Adjust vehicle temperatures hands-free and keep
everyone comfortable while you keep moving ahead.
Push the VR button. After the beep, say one of the
following commands:
 “Set driver temperature to 70 degrees”
 “Set passenger temperature to 70 degrees”
TIP:Voice Command for Climate may only be used to adjust
the interior temperature of your vehicle. Voice Command
will not work to adjust the heated seats or steering wheel
if equipped.
OPERATING TIPS
Refer to the chart at the end of this section for suggested
control settings for various weather conditions.
Summer Operation
The engine cooling system must be protected with a
high-quality antifreeze coolant to provide proper corrosion
protection and to protect against engine overheating. OAT
coolant (conforming to MS.90032) is recommended.
Winter Operation
To ensure the best possible heater and defroster
performance, make sure the engine cooling system is
functioning properly and the proper amount, type, and
concentration of coolant is used. Use of the Air
Recirculation mode during Winter months is not
recommended, because it may cause window fogging.
Vacation/Storage
For information on maintaining the Climate Control system
when the vehicle is being stored for an extended period of
time, see
Úpage 269.
Window Fogging
Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside in mild, rainy,
and/or humid weather. To clear the windows, select
Defrost or Mix mode and increase the front blower speed.
Do not use the Recirculation mode without A/C for long
periods, as fogging may occur.
Outside Air Intake
Make sure the air intake, located directly in front of the
windshield, is free of obstructions, such as leaves. Leaves
collected in the air intake may reduce airflow, and if they
enter the air distribution box, they could plug the water
drains. In Winter months, make sure the air intake is clear
of ice, slush, and snow.
