When the HI-level setting is selected, the heater will provide a boosted heat level during
the first four minutes of operation. Then, the heat output will drop to the normal HI-level.
If the HI-level setting is selected, the system will automatically switch to LO-level after
approximately 60 minutes of continuous operation. At that time, the number of illumi-
nated LEDs changes from two to one, indicating the change. The LO-level setting will turn
OFF automatically after approximately 45 minutes.
Front Ventilated Seats
Located in the seat cushion and seat back are small fans that 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 temperatures. The fans
operate at two speeds, HI and LO.
The front ventilated seats control buttons are located within the Uconnect®system. You
can gain access to the control buttons through the climate screen or the controls screen.

used. Audio from the device can be played
on the vehicle's sound system while provid-
ing metadata (artist, track title, album, etc.)
information on the radio display.
When connected, the iPod®/compatible
USB device can be controlled using the
radio or Steering Wheel Audio Controls to play, skip to the next or previous track, browse,
and list the contents.
The iPod®battery charges when plugged into the USB port (if supported by the specific
device).
There are also two USB Charge Only ports located on the back of the center console for
rear passengers.

NOTE:
•WhenconnectingyouriPod®device for the first time, the system may take several
minutes to read your music, depending on the number of files. For example, the system
will take approximately five minutes for every 1,000 songs loaded on the device. Also
during the reading process, the Shuffle and Browse functions will be disabled. This
process is needed to ensure the full use of your iPod®features and only happens the
first time it is connected. After the first time, the reading process of your iPod®will take
considerably less time unless changes are made or new songs are added to the playlist.

UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR OPENER (HomeLink®)
•HomeLink®replaces up to three hand-held transmitters that operate devices such as
garage door openers, motorized gates, lighting or home security systems. The HomeLink®
unit is powered by your vehicles 12 Volt battery.
•TheHomeLink®buttons that are located in the overhead console or sunvisor designate
the three different HomeLink®channels.
•TheHomeLink®indicator is located above the center button.
Before You Begin Programming HomeLink®
•Besurethatyourvehicleisparkedout-
side of the garage before you begin pro-
gramming.
•For more efficient programming and accu-
rate transmission of the radio-frequency
signal it is recommended that a new bat-
tery be placed in the hand-held transmit-
ter of the device that is being programmed
to the HomeLink®system.
•Erase all channels before you begin pro-
gramming. To erase the channels, place
the ignition switch into the ON/RUN posi-
tion, then press and hold the two outside
HomeLink®buttons (I and III) for up to 20 seconds or until the red indicator flashes.

Programming A Rolling Code
NOTE:
For programming Garage Door Openers that were manufactured after 1995. These Garage
Door Openers can be identified by the “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button located where the
hanging antenna is attached to the Garage Door Opener. It is NOT the button that is
normally used to open and close the door. The name and color of the button may vary by
manufacturer.
1. Place the ignition switch into the ON/RUN position.
2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink®
button you wish to program while keeping the HomeLink®indicator light in view.

POWER INVERTER
There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt power inverter outlet located on the back of the center
console. This outlet can power cellular phones, electronics and other low power devices
requiring power up to 150 Watts.
NOTE:
•Thepowerinverterisdesignedwith
built-in overload protection. If the power
rating of 150 Watts is exceeded, the
power inverter will automatically shut
down. Once the electrical device has
been removed from the outlet, the in-
verter should automatically reset.
•If the power rating exceeds approximately170 Watts, the power inverter may have tobe reset manually. To reset the invertermanually, unplug the device and plug itin again. To avoid overloading the circuit,check the power ratings on electrical de-vices prior to using the inverter.

POWER OUTLET
The front power outlet is located in the front center storage bin of the instrument panel.
There is one power outlet located in the
center console.
The rear power outlet is located in the right
rear cargo area.
The power outlets are labeled with either a
“key” or a “battery” symbol to indicate how
the outlet is powered. Power outlets labeled
with a “key” are powered when the ignition
switch is in the ON/RUN or ACC position,
while the outlets labeled with a “battery”
are connected directly to the battery and
powered at all times.
NOTE:
•Donotexceedthemaximumpowerof
160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the
160 Watt (13 Amp) power rating is ex-
ceeded, the fuse protecting the system
will need to be replaced. See below im-
age for fuse locations.

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION
Single-Speed Operating Instructions/Precautions
This system contains a single-speed (HI range only) transfer case, which provides
convenient full-time all-wheel drive. No driver interaction is required. The Brake Traction
Control (BTC) System, which combines standard ABS and Traction Control, provides
resistance to any wheel that is slipping to allow additional torque transfer to wheels with
traction.
NOTE:
This system is not appropriate for conditions where AWD LOW range is recommended. Refer
to “Off-Road Driving Tips” in “Starting and Operating” on the DVD for further information.
Electronically Shifted Transfer Case (Three-Position Switch)
This electronic shift transfer case and is operated by the AWD Control Switch (Transfer
Case Switch), which is located on the center console.
This electronically shifted transfer case pro-
vides three mode positions:
•All-wheeldriveautomaticrange(AWD
AUTO)
•All-wheeldrivelowrange(LOWRANGE)
•Neutral(NEUTRAL)
When additional traction is required, the
LOW RANGE position can be used to lock
the front and rear driveshafts together forc-
ing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the
same speed. The LOW RANGE position are
designed for loose, slippery road surfaces
only. Driving in the LOW RANGE positions
on dry hard surfaced roads may cause in-
creased tire wear and damage to the drive-
line components.
When operating your vehicle in LOW RANGE, the engine speed is approximately three
times that of the AWD HI position at a given road speed. Take care not to overspeed the
engine and do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).
NOTE:
The “SERV AWD Warning Light” monitors the electronic shift all-wheel drive system.
If this light remains on after engine start up or illuminates during driving, it means that the
all-wheel drive system is not functioning properly and that service is required.
