HEATED/VENTILATED SEATS
Front Heated Seats
If your vehicle is equipped with front heated seats, the control buttons are located
within the Uconnect system. You can gain access to the control buttons through the
climate screen or the controls screen.
• Press the heated seat button
once to turn the HI setting ON.
• Press the heated seat button
a second time to turn the LO setting ON.
• Press the heated seat button
a third time to turn the heating elements OFF.
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 display will
change from HI to LO, indicating the change. The LO-level setting will turn OFF
automatically after approximately 45 minutes.
NOTE:
The engine must be running for the heated seats to operate.
Vehicles Equipped With Remote Start
On models that are equipped with remote start, the heated seats can be programed
to come on during a remote start.
This feature can be programmed through the Uconnect system. Refer to “Uconnect
Settings” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner’s Manual on the
DVD for further information.
WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-
tion or other physical condition must exercise care when using the seat heater.
It may cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods
of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat or seatback that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in
a seat that has been overheated could cause serious burns due to the increased
surface temperature of the seat.

Front Ventilated Seats
If your vehicle is equipped with ventilated seats, the seat cushion and seat back will
have 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.
• Press the ventilated seat button
once to choose HI.
• Press the ventilated seat button
a second time to choose LO.
• Press the ventilated seat button
a third time to turn the ventilated seat OFF.

This feature can be programmed through the Uconnect system. Refer to “Uconnect
Settings” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner's Manual on the DVD.
HEATED STEERING WHEEL
If your vehicle is equipped with a heated steering wheel, it contains a heating
element that will keep your hands warm in cold weather. The heated steering wheel
has only one temperature setting. Once the heated steering wheel has been turned on
it can operate for up to 120 minutes before automatically shutting off. The heated
steering wheel can shut off early or may not turn on when the steering wheel is

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmission and
axle) in your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km),
speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws
contributes to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be
detrimental and should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality energy
conserving type lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate
conditions under which vehicle operations will occur. Refer to “Maintaining Your
Vehicle,” for the recommended viscosity and quality grades.
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers)
of operation. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not
interpreted as an indication of an engine problem or malfunction.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may
result.
TURN SIGNAL/HIGH BEAM LEVER
Turn Signals/Lane Change Assist
Tap the lever up or down once and the
turn signal (right or left) will flash three

Metric Speed (km/h)
• Pushing the SET+button once will result in a 1 km/h increase in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in an increase of 1 km/h.
•
If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to increase in 10 km/h
increments until the button is released. The increase in set speed is reflected in the
EVIC/DID.
To Decrease Speed
While ACC is set, the set speed can be decreased by pushing the SET -button.
The drivers preferred units can be selected through the instrument panel settings if
equipped. Refer to “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner’s Manual
on the DVD for more information. The speed increment shown is dependant on the
speed of U.S. (mph) or Metric (km/h) units:
U.S. Speed (mph)
• Pushing the SET -button once will result in a 1 mph decrease in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in a decrease of 1 mph.
• If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to decrease in 5 mph decrements until the button is released. The decrease in set speed is
reflected in the EVIC/DID.
Metric Speed (km/h)
• Pushing the SET -button once will result in a 1 km/h decrease in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in a decrease of 1 km/h.
•
If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to decrease in 10 km/h
decrements until the button is released. The decrease in set speed is reflected in the
EVIC/DID.
NOTE:
• When you override and push the SET +button or SET -buttons, the new Set Speed
will be the current speed of the vehicle.
• When you use the SET -button to decelerate, if the engine’s braking power does
not slow the vehicle sufficiently to reach the set speed, the brake system will
automatically slow the vehicle.
• The ACC system applies the brake down to a full stop when following a target vehicle. If an ACC host vehicle follows a target vehicle to a standstill, the host
vehicle will release the vehicle brakes two seconds after coming to a full stop.
• The ACC system maintains set speed when driving up hill and down hill. However, a slight speed change on moderate hills is normal. In addition, downshifting may
occur while climbing uphill or descending downhill. This is normal operation and
necessary to maintain set speed. When driving up hill and down hill, the ACC
system will cancel if the braking temperature exceeds normal range (overheated).
