HEATED/VENTILATED SEATS
Front Ventilated Seats
Located in the seat cushion and seatback are small fans that draw the air from the
passenger compartment and pull air through fine perforations in the seat cover to help keep
the driver and front passenger cooler in higher ambient temperatures.
There are two ventilated seat control buttons located in the touchscreen that allow the
driver and passenger to operate the seats independently.
The ventilated seat buttons are used to control the speed of the fans located in the seat.
To operate the system, press the “Controls” button on touchscreen located on the bottom
of the Uconnect® display.
• Press the ventilated seat button
once to choose HIGH.
• Press the ventilated seat button
a second time to choose LOW.
• Press the ventilated seat button
a third time to turn the ventilated seat OFF.
NOTE:
Vehicle Equipped With Remote Start
On models that are equipped with remote start, this feature can be programmed to come on
during a remote start through the Uconnect® system. Refer to “Uconnect® Settings” in
“Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner's Manual on the DVD.
Front Heated Seats
• There are two heated seat control buttons located in the touchscreen that allow the driver and passenger to operate the seats independently.
• Press the heated seat button
once to turn the High setting On. Press the heated seat
button a second time to turn the Low setting On. Press the heated seat button a third time
to turn the heating elements Off.

WARNING!
Leaving the Electronic Speed Control system on when not in use is dangerous. You could
accidentally set the system or cause it to go faster than you want. You could lose control
and have an accident. Always leave the system OFF when you are not using it.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
If your vehicle is equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control the controls operate exactly the
same as the standard cruise control with one difference. You can set a specified distance
you would like to maintain between you and the vehicle in front of you.
If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC will apply limited braking or acceleration
automatically to maintain a preset following distance, while matching the speed of the
vehicle ahead.
If the sensor does not detect a vehicle directly ahead of you, it functions like a standard
cruise control system, maintaining the speed you set.
Distance Setting (ACC Only)
The specified following distance for ACC can be set by varying the distance setting between
3 (long), 2 (medium), and 1 (short). Using this distance setting and the vehicle speed, ACC
calculates and sets the distance to the vehicle ahead. This distance setting displays in the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).
• To set or change the distance setting, press the Distance button and release. Each timethe button is pressed, the distance setting adjusts between long (3), medium (2), and
short (1). The distance setting will default to the last set mode the next time the vehicle is
restarted and the ACC system is turned on.
Mode (ACC Only)
If desired, the Adaptive Cruise Control mode can be turned off and the system can be
operated as a standard (fixed speed) Cruise Control. When in the standard (fixed speed)
Cruise Control mode the distance setting feature will be disabled and the system will
maintain the speed you set.
• To change modes, press the MODE button when the system is in either the OFF, READY, orSET position. “Cruise Ready” will be displayed if the system was in ACC READY or ACC
SET position. “Cruise Off” will be displayed if the system was in the ACC OFF position. To
switch back to Adaptive Cruise Control mode, press the MODE button a second time.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
Forward Collision Warning
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system provides the driver with audible and visual
warnings (within the EVIC) when it detects a potential frontal collision. The warnings are
intended to provide the driver with enough time to react and avoid the potential collision.

Changing FCW Status
The FCW feature has three settings and can be changed within the Uconnect® System:
•Far
• Near
• Off
NOTE:
The FCW settings can only be changed when the vehicle is in PARK.
Far
The default status of FCW is the “Far” setting.
The far setting provides warnings for potential collisions more distant in front of the vehicle,
allowing the driver to have the most reaction time to avoid a collision.
This setting is designed to provide early warnings per NHTSA (National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration) recommendations.
More cautious drivers that do not mind frequent warnings may prefer this setting.
NOTE:
This setting gives you the most reaction time.
Near
Changing the FCW status to the “Near” setting, allows the system to warn you of a potential
frontal collision when you are much closer.
This setting provides less reaction time than the “Far” setting, which allows for a more
dynamic driving experience.
More dynamic or aggressive drivers that want to avoid frequent warnings may prefer this
setting.
Off
Changing the FCW status to “Off” prevents the system from warning you of a potential
frontal collision.
NOTE:
• If FCW is set to “Off”, “FCW OFF” will be displayed in the EVIC.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

Autostick® (3.6L 8–Speed Transmission, If Equipped)
•Autostick® is only available on vehicles
equipped with SPORT mode.
• When the transmission is in DRIVE, it will operate automatically, shifting between
the eight available gears. While in SPORT
mode, the transmission will only shift be-
tween seven of the eight available gears.
• To engage AutoStick®, simply tap one of the steering wheel-mounted shift
paddles (+/-).
• In AutoStick® mode, the transmission will only shift up or down when (+/-) is manu-
ally selected by the driver, except as de-
scribed below. It will remain in the se-
lected gear until another upshift or
downshift is chosen.
• When AutoStick® is active, the current transmission gear is displayed in the EVIC.
• If AutoStick® is engaged while in DRIVE mode, lack of accelerator pedal activity will cause the transmission to revert to automatic operation. The transmission will also
upshift automatically once redline, (where the tachometer needle points to the red
portion of the gauge) is reached. If the accelerator is pressed to the floor, the transmis-
sion will downshift when possible (based on current vehicle speed and gear).
• When AutoStick® is used in SPORT mode, the transmission will only shift up or down when commanded by the driver, except as noted below.
• In either DRIVE or SPORT mode, the transmission will automatically downshift as the vehicle slows to a stop (to prevent engine lugging) and will display the current gear.
Tapping the (+) paddle (at a stop) will allow starting in second gear. After a stop, the driver
should manually upshift (+) the transmission as the vehicle accelerates.
NOTE:
To disengage AutoStick® mode, press and hold the (+) shift paddle until “D” or “S” is once
again displayed in the EVIC. You can shift in or out of the AutoStick® mode at any time
without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal.
