People who are unable to feel pain
to their 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 heated
seat. The heated seat may cause burns
even at low temperatures, especially if
used for long periods of time. Do not place
anything on the seat that insulates against
heat, such as a blanket or cushion. This
may cause the heated seat to overheat.
Do not puncture the seat with pins, needles
or other pointed objects. This may damage
the heating element which may cause the
heated seat to overheat. An overheated
seat may cause serious personal injury. Do not do the following:
•
Place heavy objects on the seat.
• Operate the heated seat if water or any
other liquid is spilled on the seat. Allow
the seat to dry thoroughly.
• Operate the heated seats unless the
engine is running. Doing so can cause
the battery to lose charge. To operate the heated seats, touch the
heated seat symbol on the touchscreen to
cycle through the various heat settings and

12 Volt DC Power Point
WARNING
Do not plug optional electrical
accessories into the cigar lighter
socket (if equipped). Improper use
of the lighter can cause damage not
covered by your warranty, and can result
in fire or serious injury. Note:
If used when the engine is not
running, the battery will discharge. There
may be insufficient power to restart your
engine.
Note: Do not insert objects other than an
accessory plug into the power point. This
will damage the outlet and blow the fuse.
Note: Do not hang any type of accessory or
accessory bracket from the plug.
Note: Do not use the power point over the
vehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watts or
a fuse may blow.
Note: Do not use the power point for
operating a cigar lighter element.
Note: Improper use of the power point can
cause damage not covered by your
warranty.
Note: Always keep the power point caps
closed when not in use.
Run the engine for full capacity use of the
power point. To prevent the battery from
being discharged:
• do not use the power point longer than
necessary when the engine is not
running
• do not leave devices plugged in
overnight or when the vehicle is parked
for extended periods.
Locations
Power points may be found: •
On the instrument panel (two
locations).
• Inside the center console.
• On the rear of the center console.
• Inside the front under-seat storage
compartment (if equipped).
• Inside the rear under-seat storage
compartment (if equipped).
110 Volt AC Power Points (If Equipped) WARNING
Do not keep electrical devices
plugged in the power points when
the devices are not in use. Do not use
any extension cord with the 110 volt AC
power points, since it will defeat the safety
protection design. Do not use a single
power point to power multiple devices. It
may cause the power point to exceed the
150 watt load limit and overload, resulting
in fire or serious injury. Note:
Keep the engine running to use the
power points. Some vehicles may come equipped with
more than one power point. One may be
located in the center of the rear floor
console. The second one (if equipped) may
be located on the instrument panel. You
can use your power points for powering
electrical devices that require up to 150
watts.

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNINGS
Extended idling at high engine
speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and
exhaust system, creating the risk of fire or
other damage. Do not park, idle or drive your vehicle
on dry grass or other dry ground
cover. The emission system heats up
the engine compartment and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire. Do not start the engine in a closed
garage or in other enclosed areas.
Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always
open the garage door before you start the
engine. If you smell exhaust fumes inside
your vehicle, have your vehicle
checked by your authorized dealer
immediately. Do not drive your vehicle if
you smell exhaust fumes. If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle
may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approximately 5 miles
(8 kilometers) after you reconnect it. This
is because the engine management system
must realign itself with the engine. You can
disregard any unusual driving
characteristics during this period.
The powertrain control system meets all
Canadian interference-causing equipment
standard requirements regulating the
impulse electrical field or radio noise.
When you start the engine, avoid pressing
the accelerator pedal before and during
operation. Only use the accelerator pedal
when you have difficulty starting the
engine. If your vehicle is operated in a heavy snow
storm or blowing snow conditions, the
engine air induction may become partially
clogged with snow and ice. If this occurs,
the engine may experience a significant
reduction in power output. At the earliest
opportunity, clear all the snow and ice
away from the air induction inlet.
IGNITION SWITCH
A (off) - The ignition is off.
Note: When you switch the ignition off and
leave your vehicle, do not leave your key in
the ignition. This could cause your vehicle
battery to lose charge.
B
(accessory) - Allows the electrical
accessories, such as the radio, to operate
while the engine is not running.
Note: Do not leave the ignition key in this
position for too long. This could cause your
vehicle battery to lose charge.
C
(on) - All electrical circuits are
operational and the warning lamps and
indicators illuminate.
D
(start) - Cranks the engine.
