WARNING!
• Be certain that the seatback is locked securely into position. Otherwise, the seat willnot provide the proper stability for child seats and/or passengers. An improperly
latched seat could cause you and others to be severely injured or killed.
• Do not allow a passenger to sit in a third row seat without having the head restraint
unfolded and locked in place or seatback(s) folded flat. Failure to follow this warning
may result in the passengers being severely injured or killed in the event of a collision.
• Do not drive the vehicle with the seat in the Tip 'n Slide™ position, as it is only intended for entering and exiting the third row seats. Failure to follow this warning may result
in you and others being severely injured or killed.
• Be certain that the seatback and seat are locked securely into position. Otherwise,
the seat will not provide the proper stability for child seats and/or passengers. An
improperly latched seat could cause you or others to be severely injured or killed.

cally after approximately 45 minutes.
HEATED STEERING WHEEL
• The steering wheel contains a heating el-ement that heats the steering wheel to
one temperature setting.
• To access the Heated Steering Wheel soft-key, touch the “Controls” soft-key lo-
cated on the Uconnect® display.
• Touch the soft-key once to turn the heat- ing element On. Press the soft-key a sec-
ond time to turn the heating element Off.
• Once the heated steering wheel has been turned on, it will operate for up to 80 min-
utes before automatically shutting off.
The heated steering wheel can shut off
early or may not turn on when the steering
wheel is already warm.
WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion, or other
physical conditions must exercise care when using the steering wheel heater. It may
cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods.
• Do not place anything on the steering wheel that insulates against heat, such as a
blanket or steering wheel covers of any type and material. This may cause the
steering wheel heater to overheat.

IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by taking the
appropriate action:
• On the highways — slow down.
• In city traffic — while stopped, shift the transmission to NEUTRAL, but do not increaseengine idle speed.
NOTE:
There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending overheat condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
• You can also turn the temperature control to maximum heat, the mode control to floor and the blower control to high. This allows the heater core to act as a supplement to the
radiator and aids in removing heat from the engine cooling system.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge
reads HOT (H), pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner
turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the pointer remains on
HOT (H), and you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine off immediately, and call for
service.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from your
radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until
the radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling system pressure cap when
the radiator or coolant bottle is hot.

FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
• If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved using arocking motion. Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the front
wheels. Then shift back and forth between DRIVE and REVERSE while gently pressing the
accelerator. Use the least amount of accelerator pedal pressure that will maintain the
rocking motion, without spinning the wheels or racing the engine.
NOTE:
Press the "ESC Off" switch, to place the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system in "Partial
Off" mode before rocking the vehicle. Once the vehicle has been freed, press the "ESC Off"
switch again to restore "ESC On" mode.
CAUTION!
• When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by shifting between REVERSE and DRIVE, do not spin the wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain damage may result.
• Revving the engine or spinning the wheels too fast may lead to transmission over-
heating and failure. It can also damage the tires. Do not spin the wheels above
30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear (no transmission shifting occurring).
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces generated by excessive wheel speeds may
cause tire damage or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone. Do not spin your
vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) when you are stuck. Do not let anyone
near a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.
