Driving after drinking can lead to an accident.
Your perceptions are less sharp, your reflexes are
slower, and your judgment is impaired when you

Temperature Grades
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C,
representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat
and its ability to dissipate heat, when tested under
controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the
material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and
excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The
grade C corresponds to a level of performance, which all
passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A repre-
sent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test
wheel, than the minimum required by law.
WARNING!
The temperature grade for this tire is established for
a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, under-inflation, or excessive load-
ing, either separately or in combination, can cause
heat buildup and possible tire failure.

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 tempera-
ture of the seat.

Mode Of Operation
Three selectable modes of operation are available in the
Uconnect® System. Refer to “Uconnect® Settings” in
“Multimedia” for further information.
Blind Spot Alert Lights Only
When operating in Blind Spot Alert mode, the BSM
system will provide a visual alert in the appropriate side
view mirror based on a detected object. However, when
the system is operating in Rear Cross Path (RCP) mode,
the system will respond with both visual and audible
alerts when a detected object is present. Whenever an
audible alert is requested, the radio is muted.
Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
When operating in Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime mode,
the BSM system will provide a visual alert in the appro-
priate side view mirror based on a detected object. If the
turn signal is then activated, and it corresponds to an
alert present on that side of the vehicle, an audible chime
will also be sounded. Whenever a turn signal and de-
tected object are present on the same side at the same
time, both the visual and audible alerts will be issued. In
addition to the audible alert, the radio (if on) will also be
muted.
NOTE:Whenever an audible alert is requested by the
BSM system, the radio is also muted.
When the system is in RCP, the system will respond with
both visual and audible alerts when a detected object is
present. Whenever an audible alert is requested, the radio
is also muted. Turn/hazard signal status is ignored; the
RCP state always requests the chime.
Blind Spot Alert Off
When the BSM system is turned off, there will be no
visual or audible alerts from either the BSM or RCP
systems.

on the display. Turning the control knob completely in
one direction or the other activates the#HI#(maximum
heating) or#LO#(maximum cooling) functions shown in
the display, respectively. To deactivate these functions,
turn the temperature knob to the desired temperature.
9. SYNC Button
Push the Sync button to toggle the Sync feature ON/OFF.
The Sync indicator will illuminate when this feature is
enabled. Sync is used to synchronize the passenger
temperature setting with the driver temperature setting.
Changing the passenger temperature setting while in
Sync mode will automatically exit this feature and return
to the separate management of air temperatures in the
two zones.
10. Mode Buttons
Airflow distribution modes can be adjusted so air comes
from the instrument panel outlets, floor outlets, de-mist
outlets and defrost outlets by selecting these buttons.
One, two or all modes may be selected at any one time.
11. Blower Control
Blower control is used to regulate the amount of air
forced through the climate system. Adjusting the blower
will cause the automatic mode to change to manual
operation. The speeds can be selected by rotating the
Blower Control adjustment knob.
12. ON/OFF Button
Push this button to turn the Climate Control ON/OFF.
13. Recirculation Button
Push to change the current setting. The LED illuminates
when ON.

NOTE:
•When in Max Defrost mode, the Recirculation button
will change the setting to normal Defrost mode. This
indicates that you can not enter to this mode due to
fogging risk.
•When the Auto indicator is ON and the Recirculation
indicator is OFF, the Recirculation is in AUTO mode.
If the Recirculation indicator is ON, the Recirculation
setting is manual and Recirculation is ON.
14. Driver Temperature Display
Rotate the Driver Temperature Control dial clockwise or
counter-clockwise, to adjust the air temperature in the
front left (Driver Temperature Control) zone of the pas-
senger compartment. The set temperature is shown on
the display. Turning the control knob completely in one
direction or the other activates the#HI#(maximum heat-
ing) or#LO#(maximum cooling) functions shown in the
display, respectively. To deactivate these functions, turn
the temperature knob to the desired temperature.
Description
The Automatic Dual Zone Climate Control system regu-
lates the air temperatures in the passenger compartment
in two zones: driver side and passenger side.
The system maintains comfort inside the passenger com-
partment and compensates for possible variations in
external climate conditions.
The Climate Control system can recognize extremely cold
(or extremely hot) conditions in the passenger compart-
ment and provide optimal management of the system’s
capabilities.
NOTE:The reference temperature is 72° F (22° C) for
optimal comfort management.
