climate controlled seats if you or the
occupants cannot monitor seat tem-
peratures or have an inability to feel
pain in those body parts in contact with
the seat. Use of the climate controlled
seats by such people could result in
serious injury.
CAUTION
.The battery could run down if the
climate controlled seat is operated
while the engine is not running.
. Do not use the climate controlled seat
for extended periods or when no one
is using the seat. .

overheated.
. Do not place anything hard or heavy
on the seat or pierce it with a pin or
similar object. This may result in
damage to the climate controlled
seat.
. Any liquid spilled on the seat should
be removed immediately with a dry
cloth.
. The climate controlled seat has an air
filter. Do not operate climate con-
trolled seat without an air filter. This
may result in damage to the system.
. When cleaning the seat, never use
gasoline, thinner, or any similar ma-
terials.

The warning systems switch is used to turn
on and off the warning systems (Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) and Blind Spot
Warning (BSW) systems) that are activated
using the “Driver Assistance” menu displayed
in the vehicle information display. (See
“Driver Assistance” (P.2-21).)
When the warning systems switch is turned
off, the indicator
on the switch is off. The
indicator will also be off if all of the warning
systems are deactivated using the settings
menu.
The LDW system will vibrate the steering
wheel and blink the Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) indicator on the vehicle information
display to alert the driver if the vehicle is traveling close to either the left or the right
of a traveling lane with detectable lane
markers. (See “Lane Departure Warning
(LDW)” (P.5-22).)
The BSW system will turn on the side
indicator lights, located on the outside
mirrors, if the radar sensors detect a vehicle
in the detection zone. If the turn signal is
activated in the direction of the detected
vehicle, a chime sounds twice and the side
indicator light will flash. (See “Blind Spot
Warning (BSW)” (P.5-34).)
SIC4454
For driving or starting the vehicle on snowy
roads or slippery areas, push on the SNOW
mode switch. The SNOW mode indicator will
illuminate. When the SNOW mode is acti-
vated, engine output is controlled to avoid
wheel spin.
Push off the SNOW mode for normal
driving.
NOTE:
When the SNOW mode is activated, the
Lane Departure Prevention (LDP), Blind
Spot Intervention (BSI), Distance Control
Assist (DCA), and Intelligent Cruise Control
(ICC) systems will be turned off automati-
cally if the vehicle is equipped with them.

TOW mode should be used when pulling a
heavy trailer or hauling a heavy load. Driving
the vehicle in TOW mode with no trailer/
load or light trailer/light load will not cause
any damage. However, fuel economy may be
reduced, and the transmission/engine driv-
ing characteristics may feel unusual.
Push the TOW mode switch to activate
TOW mode. The indicator light in the vehicle
information display illuminates when TOW
mode is selected. Push the TOW mode
switch again to turn TOW mode off.
TOW mode is automatically canceled when
the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position.
SIC4455
The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system on for most
driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the
VDC system reduces the engine output to
reduce wheel spin. The engine speed will be
reduced even if the accelerator is depressed
to the floor. If maximum engine power is
needed to free a stuck vehicle, turn the VDC
system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC
OFF switch. The
indicator will illumi-
nate.
Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart
the engine to turn on the system. (See
“Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system” (P.5-135).)

The Rear Door Alert system functions under
certain conditions to indicate there may be
an object or passenger in the rear seat(s).
Check the seat(s) before exiting the vehicle.
The Rear Door Alert system is initially
enabled. The driver can disable the system
using the vehicle information display. (See
“Vehicle settings” (P.2-23).)
When the system is enabled:
.The system is activated when a rear door
is opened and closed. When the vehicle is
started and the system is activated, a
visual message appears in the vehicle
information display. (See “40. Rear Door
Alert is activated” (P.2-32).)
. If a rear door is opened and closed but
the vehicle is not driven, the system will
not be activated. A rear door must be
opened and closed and the car driven for
the system to activate.
. The time interval to activate the system
between when the rear door is opened
and closed and the vehicle is started is
about 10 minutes. A longer interval does
not indicate a malfunction.
When the Rear Door Alert system is acti-
vated:
. When the driver puts the vehicle in the P
(Park) position, a notification message
appears in the vehicle information dis-
play with the options to “Dismiss Mes- sage” or “Disable Alert” if desired.
— Select “Disable Alert” to temporarily
disable for that stop.
— No selection or ‘Dismiss Message” will keep the alert enabled for that stop.
. If the alert is enabled when a driver exits
the vehicle, a message will appear in the
vehicle information display that states
“Check Rear Seat for All Articles.”
If “Horn & Alert” setting is selected:
— An audible horn sound will occur after
a short time unless a rear door is
opened and closed within a short time
to deactivate the alert.
— If the doors are locked before the alert is deactivated by opening a rear door,
the horn will sound.
— If the liftgate is opened before a rear door is opened, the horn will be
delayed until after the liftgate is
closed.
NOTE:
If “Alert Only” setting is selected, the
message alert will still be shown in the
vehicle information display but the horn will
not sound.
WARNING
. If the driver selects “Disable Alert”,
no audible alert will be provided
regardless of rear door open/close
status.
. There may be times when there is an
object or passenger in the rear seat(s)
but the audible alert does not sound.
For example, this may occur if rear
seat passengers enter or exit the
vehicle during a trip.
. The system does not directly detect
objects or passengers in the rear seat
(s). Instead, it can detect when a rear
door is opened and closed, indicating
that there may be something in the
rear seat(s).
NOTE:
There may be times when the horn sounds
but there are no objects or passengers in the
rear seat(s).
