SEATS Manual Adjustment
Forward / Rearward
To move the seat forward or rearward,
pull the adjustment bar. Release the bar
once the desired position is reached.
Using body pressure, move forward
and rearward on the seat to be sure
that the seat adjusters have latched.
Height
To adjust the height for front edge of
the seat bottom, rotate the dial to the
desired position.
Seat Recline
To recline the seatback, lift up the
recline lever and lean back until the
desired position has been reached,
then release the lever. Make sure the lever returns to its original position and
the seatback is locked in place by
attempting to push it forward and
rearward.
Warning!Adjusting a seat while driving may be
dangerous. Moving a seat while driving
could result in loss of control which could
cause a collision and serious injury or
death.
Seats should be adjusted before
fastening the seat belts and while the
vehicle is parked. Serious injury or death
could result from a poorly adjusted seat
belt.
Do not ride with the seatback reclined
so that the shoulder belt is no longer
resting against your chest. In a collision you
could slide under the seat belt, which could
result in serious injury or death.
Heated Seats
On some models, the front driver and
passenger seats may be equipped with
heaters in both the seat cushions and
seatbacks. The controls for the front
heated seats are located on the center
instrument panel below the climate
controls.
The heated seats have three settings:
High, Medium, and Low. Push the
switch once to turn the heated seats on
High, twice for Medium, and three times for Low. Pushing the switch a fourth
time will turn the heated seat off.
Note:
If the ignition is switched OFF while
the seat warmer is operating (High,
Mid or Low), and then switched ON
again, the seat warmer will
automatically operate at the
temperature set before switching the
ignition OFF.
Use the seat warmer when the
engine is running. Leaving the seat
warmer on for long periods with the
engine not running could discharge the
battery.
The temperature of the seat warmer
cannot be adjusted beyond High, Mid
and Low.
Once a heat setting is selected,
heat will be felt within two to five
minutes.03010202-12A-003AB

should now activate your rolling code
equipped device.
Note: To program the remaining two
HomeLink buttons, begin with step
one.
For questions or comments, please
contact HomeLink at
www.homelink.com or
1-800-355-3515 .
Gate Operator/Canadian
Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit)
after several seconds of transmission -
which may not be long enough for
HomeLink to pick up the signal during
programming.
Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S.
gate operators are designed to
“time-out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having
difficulties programming a gate operator
by using the “Programming”
procedures (regardless of where you
live), replace “Programming The
System” step three with the following:
Note: If programming a garage door
opener or gate operator, it is advised to
unplug the device during the “cycling”
process to prevent possible
overheating.
1. Continue to press and hold the
HomeLink button while you press and
release - every two seconds (“cycle”)
your hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has successfully been
accepted by HomeLink (the indicator
light will flash slowly and then rapidly).
2. Proceed with the “Programming”
steps to complete.
Operating The System
Push the programmed HomeLink
button to operate a programmed
device.
The code will continue being
transmitted for a maximum of
20 seconds.
Reprogramming The
System
To program a device to HomeLink using
a HomeLink button previously trained,
follow these steps:
1. Push and hold the desired HomeLink
button. DO NOT release the button;
2. The indicator light will begin to flash
after 20 seconds. Without releasing the
HomeLink button, proceed with
“Programming The System” step one.
Erasing Programmed
HomeLink Buttons
To erase the existing programming from
all three operating channels, push and
hold the two outside buttons 1 and
3 on the auto-dimming mirror until the
HomeLink indicator light begins to flash
after approximately 10 seconds.
Verify that the programming has been
erased when you resell the vehicle. INTERNAL
EQUIPMENT Storage Compartments
Center Console
The center console is located between
the driver’s and passenger’s seats.
Warning!Keep storage compartments closed when
driving. Driving with the storage
compartments open is dangerous. To
reduce the possibility of injury in an
accident or a sudden stop, keep the
storage compartments closed when
driving.
Caution!Do not leave lighters or eyeglasses in the
storage compartments while parked under
the sun. A lighter could explode or the
plastic material in eyeglasses could deform
and crack from high temperature.

Seat Belt Precautions
Seat belts help to decrease the
possibility of severe injury during
accidents and sudden stops. FCA
recommends that the driver and
passengers always wear seat belts.
Mexico
All the seats have lap/shoulder belts.
These belts have retractors with inertia
locks that keep them out of the way
when not in use.
The locks allow the belts to remain
comfortable on users, but they will lock
in position during a collision.
Except Mexico
All of the seat belt retractors are
designed to keep the lap/shoulder belts
out of the way when not in use.
The driver's seat belt has no provisions
for child-restraint systems and has only
an emergency locking mode.
The driver may wear it comfortably, and
it will lock during a collision.
However, the passenger's seat
lap/shoulder belt retractor operates in
two modes: emergency locking mode,
and for child-restraint systems,
automatic locking mode. If you must
use the passenger seat for a child, slide
the passenger seat as far back as
possible and make sure any child
restraint system is secured properly.
Belt retraction may become difficult if
the belts and seat belt guides are
soiled, so try to keep them clean. Refer to “Lap/Shoulder Belt” in ”Interiors,”
found in Servicing And Maintenance”
for further information.
Warning!Relying on the air bags alone could lead
to more severe injuries in a collision. The air
bags work with your seat belt to restrain
you properly. In some collisions, the air
bags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your
seat belt even though you have air bags.
In a collision, you and your passengers
can suffer much greater injuries if you are
not properly buckled up. You can strike the
interior of your vehicle or other passengers,
or you can be thrown out of the vehicle.
Always be sure you and others in your
vehicle are buckled up properly.
It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area,
inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision,
people riding in these areas are more likely
to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride in any area
of your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts.
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
position to minimize the risk of severe injury
or death in the event of a crash.
Wearing your seat belt incorrectly could
make your injuries in a collision much
worse. You might suffer internal injuries, or
you could even slide out of the seat belt.
Follow these instructions to wear your seat
belt safely and to keep your passengers
safe, too.
Two people should never be belted into
a single seat belt. People belted together
can crash into one another in a collision,
hurting one another badly. Never use a
lap/shoulder belt or a lap belt for more than
one person, no matter what their size.
A lap belt worn too high can increase
the risk of injury in a collision. The seat belt
forces won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic
bones, but across your abdomen. Always
wear the lap part of your seat belt as low
as possible and keep it snug.
A twisted seat belt may not protect you
properly. In a collision, it could even cut into
you. Be sure the seat belt is flat against
your body, without twists. If you can’t
straighten a seat belt in your vehicle, take it
to your authorized dealer immediately and
have it fixed. 03020100-12A-001

Automatic Locking Mode
Always use the automatic locking mode
to keep the child-restraint system from
shifting to an unsafe position in the
event of an accident.
To enable seat belt automatic locking
mode, pull it all the way out and
connect it as instructed on the child
restraint system. It will retract down to
the child restraint system and stay
locked on it.
Warning!The seat belt assembly must be
replaced if the switchable Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR) feature or any
other seat belt function is not working
properly when checked according to the
procedures in the Service Manual.
Failure to replace the seat belt assembly
could increase the risk of injury in collisions.
Do not use the Automatic Locking Mode
to restrain occupants who are wearing the
seat belt or children who are using booster
seats. The locked mode is only used to
install rear-facing or forward-facing child
restraints that have a harness for
restraining the child. Lap/Shoulder Belts
Fastening The Seat Belt
Position the lap belt as low as possible,
not on the abdominal area 2, then
adjust the shoulder belt 3 so that it fits
snugly against your body. 1

Warning!Improper installation can lead to failure
of an infant or child restraint. It could come
loose in a collision. The child could be
badly injured or killed. Follow the child
restraint manufacturer’s directions exactly
when installing an infant or child restraint.
After a child restraint is installed in the
vehicle, do not move the vehicle seat
forward or rearward because it can loosen
the child restraint attachments. Remove
the child restraint before adjusting the
vehicle seat position. When the vehicle seat
has been adjusted, reinstall the child
restraint.
When your child restraint is not in use,
secure it in the vehicle with the seat belt or
LATCH anchorages, or remove it from the
vehicle. Do not leave it loose in the vehicle.
In a sudden stop or accident, it could strike
the occupants or seatbacks and cause
serious personal injury.
Child Restraint System
Types
In this Owner Handbook, explanation of
child restraint systems secured with
seat belts is provided for the following
three types of popular child-restraint
systems: infant seat, child seat, booster
seat. Note:
Installation position is determined
by the type of child restraint system.
Always read the manufacturer's
instructions and this Owner Handbook
carefully.
Due to variations in the design of
child restraint systems, vehicle seats
and seat belts, not all child restraint
may fit all seating positions.
Before purchasing a child-restraint
system, it should be tested in the
specific vehicle seating position (or
positions) where it is intended to be
used. If a previously purchased
child-restraint system does not fit, you
may need to purchase a different one
that will.
Infant Seat
An infant seat provides restraint by
bracing the infant's head, neck and
back against the seating surface. Child Seat
A child seat restrains a child's body
using the harness.
Booster Seat
A booster seat is a child restraint
accessory designed to improve the fit of
the seat belt system around the child's
body. 06070809INF001

Warning!Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt
under an arm or behind their back. In a
crash, the shoulder belt will not protect a
child properly, which may result in serious
injury or death. A child must always wear
both the lap and shoulder portions of the
seat belt correctly.
Child Seat Installation
Position
The passenger lap/shoulder belt can
easily be converted into the automatic
locking mode, which must be done to
hold the child-restraint system.
Note: To check if your seats have side
air bags: FCA vehicles equipped with
side air bag will have an embossed
"SRS AIRBAG" marking on the
outboard shoulder of the seats.
Follow the child restraint system
manufacturer's instructions carefully.
Depending on the type of child restraint
system, it may not employ seat belts
which are in automatic locking mode,
however if it uses an upper tether, it
may not be mounted properly in this vehicle as there is no safe way to
anchor the tether. Confirm whether the
child restraint system can be used with
seat belts by reading the child restraint
system manufacturer's instructions.
Passengers Seat Child Restraint
System Installation (With Passenger
Occupant Classification System)
Proceed as follows:
Make sure the ignition is switched
off.
Slide the seat as far back as
possible.
Place the child-restraint system on
the seat without putting your weight on
the seat and secure the child-restraint
system with the lap portion of the
lap/shoulder belt. See the
manufacturer's instructions on the
child-restraint system for belt routing
instructions.
To get the retractor into the
automatic locking mode, pull the
shoulder belt portion of the seat belt
until the entire length of the belt is out of
the retractor.
Push the child-restraint system firmly
into the vehicle seat. Be sure the belt
retracts as snugly as possible. A clicking noise from the retractor will be
heard during retraction if the system is
in automatic locking mode. If the belt
does not lock the seat down tight,
repeat the previous step and also this
one.
Seat your child safely in the
child-restraint system and secure the
child according to the instructions from
the child-restraint system manufacturer.
Note: Inspect this function before
each use of the child restraint system.
You should not be able to pull the
shoulder belt out of the retractor while
the system is in the automatic locking
mode. When you remove the
child-restraint system, be sure the belt
fully retracts to return the system to
emergency locking mode before
occupants use the seat belts.
Place the ignition in the ON position
and make sure the passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light illuminates
after installing a child restraint system
on the passenger seat. If the passenger
air bag deactivation indicator light does
not illuminate, remove the child restraint
system, place the ignition in the OFF
position, and then reinstall the child
restraint system.
