this warning may result in serious injury or death.
Heated Steering Wheel — If Equipped
The steering wheel contains a heating element that helps
warm your hands in cold weather. The heated steering
wheel has only one temperature setting. Once the heated
steering wheel switch
has been turned on, it will stay
on for an average of 80 minutes or more before auto-
matically shutting off. This time will vary based on
environmental temperatures. 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 on the center of the instrument
panel below the radio screen.

•Use of Rain-X or products containing wax or silicone
may reduce Rain Sensing performance.
• The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and off using
the Uconnect System, refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
“Multimedia” for further information.
Rear Wiper Operation
The rear wiper/washer controls are located on the lever on
the right side of the steering column. The rear wiper/
washer is operated by rotating a switch, located at the
middle of the lever.
NOTE: If the front wiper is moving and the vehicle is
shifted in REVERSE, the rear wiper will perform one round
up to clean the rear window.
Rotate the center portion of the lever upward to the
first detent for intermittent operation and to the
second detent for continuous rear wiper operation. If the
front wiper is set to Automatic Mode (on the wiper stalk as
well as “Enabled” through Uconnect settings), placing the rear wiper in an intermittent position will cause the front
and rear wipers to sync up. Turning the front wipers off
will cause the rear wipers to also stop.
To use the washer, push the lever forward and
hold while spray is desired. If the lever is pushed
while in the intermittent setting, the wiper will
turn on and operate for several wipe cycles after
the end of the lever is released, and then resume the
intermittent interval previously selected.
If the lever is pushed while the wiper is in the off position,
the wiper will operate for several wipe cycles, then turn off.
NOTE: As a protective measure, the pump will stop if the
switch is held for more than 30 seconds. Once the lever is
released, the pump will resume normal operation.
Rear Window Defroster
The rear window defroster button is located with
the Climate Controls on the instrument panel. Push
this button to turn on the rear window defroster. An
indicator in the button will illuminate when the rear
window defroster is on. The rear window defroster auto-
matically turns off after approximately 20 minutes. To

CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause damage to
the heating elements:
•Use care when washing the inside of the rear win-
dow. 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 heat-
ing elements. Labels can be peeled off after soaking
with warm water.
• Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or abrasive
window cleaners on the interior surface of the win-
dow.
• Keep all objects a safe distance from the window.
Rear Window Defrosting
Push and release the rear window defrost button to turn
the function on/off.
Activation of this function is indicated by the rear defrost
indicator light on the instrument panel turning on. The
function is automatically deactivated after 20 minutes.
If equipped, push the rear defrost button to activate the
defrosting of door mirrors and heated rear window.
CAUTION!
To avoid causing damage to the rear window defroster
heating filaments do not affix stickers or other objects
to the inside of the rear glass.
Air Recirculation
Push and release the Air Recirculation button so that the
LED is on, to enter recirculation mode. It is recommended
to turn the internal air recirculation on while standing in
traffic or in tunnels to prevent the introduction of polluted
air.
Do not use the function for a long period of time, particu-
larly if there are many passengers in the vehicle, to prevent
the windows from misting up.
NOTE: Internal air recirculation makes it possible to reach
the required heating or cooling conditions quickly depend-
ing on the mode selected. Do not use the internal air
recirculation function on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility of the windows mist-
ing.
