HEATED/VENTILATED SEATS
Front Heated Seats
• The controls for front heated seatsare located near the bottom
center of the instrument panel
(below the Climate Controls).
• Press the switch once to select High-level heating. Press the
switch a second time to select
Low-level heating. Press the
switch a third time to shut the
heating elements Off.
• If the High-level setting is selected, the system will automatically switch to Low-level after approximately 55 minutes. The Low-level setting will
turn Off automatically after approximately 45 minutes.
Front Ventilated Seats
• Located in the seat cushion and seatback are small fans that draw the airfrom the passenger compartment and blow air through fine perforations
in the seat cover to help keep the driver and front passenger cooler in
higher ambient temperatures.
• There are two ventilated seat switches that allow the driver and passenger to operate the seats independently. The ventilated seat
switches are located on the switch bank in the center stack of the
instrument panel, just below the climate controls. The ventilated seat
switches are used to control the speed of the fans located in the seat.
Press the switch once to choose HIGH, press it a second time to choose
LOW. Pressing the switch a third time will turn the ventilated seat OFF.
When HIGH speed is selected both lights on the switch will be
illuminated. When LOW speed is selected one light will be illuminated.
Rear Heated Seats
• Second row heated seat switchesare located on the rear of the
center console.
• Press the switch once to select High-level heating. Press the
switch a second time to select
Low-level heating. Press the

• If the High-level setting is selected, the system will automatically switchto Low-level after approximately 55 minutes. The Low-level setting will
turn Off automatically after approximately 45 minutes.
WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because ofadvanced age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion or other physical conditions
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 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.
HEATED STEERING WHEEL
• The steering wheel contains aheating element that heats the
steering wheel to one temperature
setting.
• The heated steering wheel switch is located on the center
instrument panel below the
climate controls.
• Press the switch once to turn the heating element On. Press the switch a second time to turn the heating element Off.
• Once the heated steering wheel has been turned on, it will operate for approximately 58 to 70 minutes before automatically shutting off. The
heated steering wheel can shut off early or may not turn on when the
steering wheel is already warm.

TOW/HAUL MODE
• When driving in hilly areas, towing a trailer, carrying a heavy load, etc.,and frequent transmission shifting occurs, press the TOW/HAUL switch
to select TOW/HAUL mode. This will improve performance and reduce
the potential for transmission overheating or failure due to excessive
shifting. When operating in TOW/HAUL mode, transmission upshifts are
delayed, and the transmission will automatically downshift (for engine
braking) during steady braking maneuvers.
• The “TOW/HAUL Indicator Light”will illuminate in the instrument
cluster to indicate that
TOW/HAUL mode has been
activated. Pressing the switch a
second time restores normal
operation. If the TOW/HAUL mode
is desired, the switch must be
pressed each time the engine is
started.

IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
• In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential foroverheating by taking the appropriate action.
• On the highways — slow down.
• In city traffic — while stopped, place the transmission in NEUTRAL, but do not increase engine idle speed.
NOTE: There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending
overheat condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this
heat.
• You can also turn the temperature control to maximum heat, the mode control to floor and the blower control to high. This allows the heater core
to act as a supplement to the radiator and aids in removing heat from the
engine cooling system.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the
temperature gauge reads 240°F (116 °C) or greater pull over and stop
the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until the
pointer drops back into the normal range 200–230°F (93–110°C). If
the pointer remains at 240°F (116°C) or greater and you hear a chime,
turn the engine off immediately and call for service.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze)
or steam from your radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from
under the hood, do not open the hood until the radiator has had time
to cool. Never try to open a cooling system pressure cap when the
radiator or coolant bottle is hot.
