REMOTE STARTING
SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
This system uses the key fob to
start the engine conveniently from
outside the vehicle while still main-
taining security. The system has a
range of 328 ft (100 m).
The Remote Starting System also activates
the Climate Control, vented seats (if
equipped) in temperatures above 80°F
(26.7°C), the heated seats (if equipped), and
heated steering wheel (if equipped) in
temperatures below 40°F (4.4°C). Refer to
“Heated Seats” in “Getting To Know Your
Vehicle” in the Owner’s Manual for further
information.
NOTE:
The vehicle must be equipped with an
automatic transmission to be equipped
with Remote Start.
Obstructions between the vehicle and key
fob may reduce this range.
How To Use Remote Start
Push the Remote Start button on the key
fob twice within five seconds. Pushing the
Remote Start button a third time shuts the
engine off.
To drive the vehicle, push the unlock
button, and place the ignition in the ON/
RUN position.
With remote start, the engine will only run
for 15 minutes (timeout) unless the igni -
tion key is placed in the ON/RUN position.
The vehicle must be started with the key
after two consecutive timeouts.
All of the following conditions must be met
before the engine will remote start:
Gear Selector in PARK
Doors closed
Hood closed
Swing Gate closed
Hazard switch off
Brake switch inactive (brake pedal not
pushed)
Battery at an acceptable charge level
System not disabled from previous remote
start event
Vehicle alarm system indicator flashing
Ignition in STOP/OFF position
Fuel level meets minimum requirement
All removable doors must not be removed
Malfunction indicator light not illuminated
WARNING!
Do not start or run an engine in a closed
garage or confined area. Exhaust gas
contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is
odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide
is poisonous and can cause serious
injury or death when inhaled.
Keep key fobs away from children. Oper -
ation of the Remote Start System,
windows, door locks or other controls
could cause serious injury or death.

is built into the Swing Gate handle. With a
valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the Swing Gate handle, grab the
Swing Gate handle to unlock the Swing Gate
automatically, and pull the Swing Gate to
open.
NOTE:
If “Unlock All Doors 1st Press” is
programmed all doors and the swing gate will
unlock when you grab hold of the swing gate
handle. To select between “Unlock Driver
Door 1st Press” and “Unlock All Doors 1st
Press,” refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
“Multimedia” in the Owner’s Manual for
further information.Swing Gate Passive Entry Lock Button To Lock The Swing Gate
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the Swing Gate handle, pushing
the Passive Entry lock button will lock the
vehicle doors and the swing gate.
NOTE:
Always take the key with you once a door or
the tailgate is locked to prevent locking the
key fob inside of the vehicle. If the key has
been locked inside of the vehicle, it can be
recovered using the second provided key fob.
NOTE:
After pushing the door handle button, you
must wait two seconds before you can lock
or unlock the doors, using any Passive
Entry door handle. This is done to allow
you to check if the vehicle is locked by
pulling the door handle without the
vehicle reacting and unlocking.
If Passive Entry is disabled using the
Uconnect system, the key protection
described in "Preventing Inadvertent
Locking of Passive Entry Key Fob in
Vehicle" remains active/functional.
The Passive Entry system will not operate
if the key fob battery is depleted.
Child-Protection Door Lock System —
Rear Doors
To provide a safer environment for small chil
-
dren riding in the rear seats, the rear doors
are equipped with a Child-Protection Door
Lock system.
To use the system, open each rear door, use a
flat blade screwdriver (or emergency key) and
rotate the dial to the lock or unlock position.
Child Protection Door Lock Function
NOTE:
When the child lock system is engaged,
the door can be opened only by using the
outside door handle even though the
inside door lock is in the unlocked
position.

SEATS
Seats are a part of the Occupant Restraint
System of the vehicle.
WARNING!
It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area,
inside or outside of a vehicle. In a colli
-
sion, people riding in these areas are
more likely to be seriously injured or
killed.
Do not allow people to ride in any area of
your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts. In a collision,
people riding in these areas are more
likely to be seriously injured or killed.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a
seat and using a seat belt properly.

Heated Seats — If Equipped
The heated seats control buttons are located
on the center instrument panel below the
touchscreen, and are also located within the
climate or controls screen of the touch-
screen. Heated Seat Buttons
Push the heated seat button once to
turn the HI setting on.
Push the heated seat button a second
time to turn the MED setting on.
Push the heated seat button a third
time to turn the LO setting on.
Push the heated seat button a fourth
time to turn the heating elements off.
NOTE:
The engine must be running for the heated
seats to operate.
The level of heat selected will stay on until
the operator changes it. Vehicles Equipped With Remote Start
On models that are equipped with remote
start, the driver’s heated seat can be
programmed to come on during a remote
start.
This feature can be programmed through the
Uconnect system. Refer to “Uconnect
Settings” in “Multimedia” in the Owner’s
Manual for further information.
WARNING!
Adjusting a seat while driving may be
dangerous. Moving a seat while driving
could result in loss of control which
could cause a collision and serious injury
or death.
Seats should be adjusted before
fastening the seat belts and while the
vehicle is parked. Serious injury or death
could result from a poorly adjusted seat
belt.
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so
that the shoulder belt is no longer resting
against your chest. In a collision you
could slide under the seat belt, which
could result in serious injury or death.
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 tempera-
tures, 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.

allow the rear seat to fold down easily.
The center head restraints must be in the
lowest position to avoid contact with the
center console when folding the seat.
To Fold Down The Rear Seat

the event of a rear impact. Head restraints
should be adjusted so that the top of the
head restraint is located above the top of
your ear.
Front Head Restraints
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on
the head restraint. To lower the head
restraint, push the adjustment button
located on the base of the head restraint, and
push downward on the head restraint. The
release button does not need to be pushed to

To remove the head restraint, raise it as far as
it can go then push the adjustment button
and the release button at the base of each
post while pulling the head restraint up. To

WARNING!
It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle.
In a collision, people riding in these
areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed.
Do not allow people to ride in any area of
your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a

properly latched to their floor attach -
ments. Always be sure that the seats are
fully latched.
WARNING!
All occupants, including the driver,
should not operate a vehicle or sit in a
vehicle’s seat until the head restraints
are placed in their proper positions in
order to minimize the risk of neck injury
in the event of a crash.
WARNING! (Continued)
Head restraints should never be adjusted
while the vehicle is in motion. Driving a
vehicle with the head restraints improp -
erly adjusted or removed could cause
serious injury or death in the event of a
collision.
