operate for an average of 80 minutes or more
before automatically shutting off. This time
may vary depending on environmental tem-
peratures. The heated steering wheel can
shut off early or may not turn on when the
steering wheel is already warm.
The heated steering wheel control button is
located within the Uconnect system. You can
gain access to the control button through the
climate screen or the controls screen.
• Press the heated steering wheel button
once to turn the heating element on.
• Press the heated steering wheel button
a second time to turn the heating element
off.
NOTE:
The engine must be running for the heated
steering wheel to operate.
Vehicles With Remote Start — If Equipped
On models that are equipped with remote
start, the heated steering wheel can be pro-
grammed to come on during a remote start
through the Uconnect system. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in the
Owner’s Manual for further information.
WARNING!
•Persons who are unable to feel pain to the
skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medi-
cation, alcohol use, exhaustion, or other
physical conditions must exercise care
when using the steering wheel heater. It
may cause burns even at low tempera-
tures, 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.
MIRRORS
Power Folding Mirrors — If Equipped
If equipped, the switch for the power folding
mirrors is located between the power mirror
switches L (left) and R (right). Push the
switch once and the mirrors will fold in.
Pushing the switch a second time will return
the mirrors to the normal driving position. NOTE:
If the vehicle speed is greater than 10 mph
(16 km/h), the folding feature will be dis-
abled.
If the mirrors are in the folded position, and
the vehicle speed is equal or greater than 10
mph (16 km/h), they will automatically un-
fold.
Resetting The Power Folding Outside Mirrors
To reset the power folding mirrors: Fold and
unfold them by pushing the button (this may
require multiple button pushes). This resets
them to their normal position.
Heated Mirrors — If Equipped
These mirrors are heated to melt
frost or ice. This feature will be ac-
tivated whenever you turn on the
rear window defroster. Refer to “Climate Con-
trols” in this chapter for further information.

NOTE:
• It is not necessary to move the temperaturesettings for cold or hot vehicles. The system
automatically adjusts the temperature,
mode, and blower speed to provide comfort
as quickly as possible.
• The temperature can be displayed in U.S. or Metric units by selecting the US/Metric
customer-programmable feature. Refer to
the “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia”
in your Owner’s Manual for further
information.
To provide you with maximum comfort in the
Automatic mode during cold start-ups, the
blower fan will remain on low until the engine
warms up. The blower will increase in speed
and transition into Auto mode.
Manual Operation Override
This system offers a full complement of
manual override features. The AUTO symbol
in the front ATC display will be turned off
when the system is being used in the manual
mode.
Operating Tips
Summer Operation
The engine cooling system must be protected
with a high-quality antifreeze coolant to pro-
vide proper corrosion protection and to pro-
tect against engine overheating. OAT coolant
(conforming to MS.90032) is recommended.
Winter Operation
To ensure the best possible heater and defroster
performance, make sure the engine cooling sys-
tem is functioning properly and the proper
amount, type, and concentration of coolant is
used. Use of the Air Recirculation mode during
Winter months is not recommended, because it
may cause window fogging.
Vacation/Storage
Before you store your vehicle, or keep it out of
service (i.e., vacation) for two weeks or more,
run the air conditioning system at idle for about
five minutes, in fresh air with the blower set-
ting on high. This will ensure adequate system
lubrication to minimize the possibility of com-
pressor damage when the system is started
again.
Window Fogging
Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside in
mild, rainy, and/or humid weather. To clear
the windows, select Defrost or Mix mode and
increase the front blower speed. Do not use
the Recirculation mode without A/C for long
periods, as fogging may occur.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause
damage to the heating elements:
•
Use care when washing the inside of the
rear window. Do not use abrasive window
cleaners on the interior surface of the
window. Use a soft cloth and a mild
washing solution, wiping parallel to the
heating elements. Labels can be peeled
off after soaking with warm water.
• Do not use scrapers, sharp instru- ments, or abrasive window cleaners on
the interior surface of the window.
• Keep all objects a safe distance from
the window.
43

• Any impact due to rough road conditionsmay trigger the auto-reverse function unex-
pectedly during auto-closure. If this hap-
pens, pull the switch lightly and hold to
close the window manually.
WARNING!
There is no anti-pinch protection when the
window is almost closed. To avoid personal
injury be sure to clear your arms, hands,
fingers and all objects from the window
path before closing.
Reset Auto-Up
Should the Auto-Up feature stop working, the
window probably needs to be reset. To reset
Auto-Up:
1. Pull the window switch up to close the
window completely and continue to hold
the switch up for an additional two sec-
onds after the window is closed.
2. Push the window switch down firmly to open the window completely and continue
to hold the switch down for an additional
two seconds after the window is fully
open.
Window Lockout Switch
The window lockout switch on the driver's
door trim panel allows you to disable the
window controls on the rear passenger doors.
To disable the window controls, push and
release the window lockout button (the indi-
cator light on the button with turn on). To
enable the window controls, push and release
the window lockout button again (the indica-
tor light on the button will turn back off).
POWER SUNROOF
The power sunroof switches are located on
the overhead console.

Power InverterA 115 or 230 Volt, 150 Watt power inverter
outlet is located on the rear of the center
console. This outlet can power cellular
phones, electronics and other low power de-
vices requiring power up to 150 Watts.
The power inverter is designed with built-in
overload protection. If the power rating of
150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter
will automatically shut down. Once the elec-
trical device has been removed from the
outlet, the inverter should automatically re-
set.
If the power rating exceeds approximately
170 Watts, the power inverter may have to be
reset manually. To reset the inverter manu-ally, unplug the device and plug it in again. To
avoid overloading the circuit, check the
power ratings on electrical devices prior to
using the inverter.
WARNING!
To Avoid Serious Injury or Death DO NOT:
• insert any objects into the receptacles
• touch with wet hands
Close the lid when not in use. If this outlet
is mishandled, it may cause an electric
shock and failure.
