Note:
Event data recorder data is recorded
by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash
situation occurs; no data is recorded by the
event data recorder under normal driving
conditions and no personal data or
information (e.g., name, gender, age, and
crash location) is recorded. However, other
parties, such as law enforcement, could
combine the event data recorder data with
the type of personally identifying data
routinely acquired during a crash
investigation.
To read data recorded by an event data
recorder, special equipment is required, and
access to the vehicle or the event data
recorder is needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties, such as law
enforcement, that have such special
equipment, can read the information if they
have access to the vehicle or the event data
recorder. Comfort, Convenience and
Entertainment Data
Your vehicle has electronic control units that
have the ability to store data based on your
personalized settings. The data is stored
locally in the vehicle or on devices that you
connect to it, for example, a USB drive or
digital music player. You can delete some of
this data and also choose whether to share
it through the services to which you
subscribe. See Settings (page 451).
Comfort and Convenience Data
Data recorded includes, for example:
• Seat and steering wheel position.
• Climate control settings.
• Radio presets.
Entertainment Data
Data recorded includes, for example:
• Music, videos or album art.
• Contacts and corresponding address
book entries.
• Navigation destinations. Services That We Provide
If you use our services, we collect and use
data, for example, account information,
vehicle location and driving characteristics,
that could identify you. We transmit this data
through a dedicated, protected connection.
We only collect and use data to enable your
use of our services to which you have
subscribed, with your consent or where
permitted by law. For additional information,
see the terms and conditions of the services
to which you have subscribed.
Services That Third Parties Provide
We recommend that you review the terms
and conditions and data privacy information
for any services to which you subscribe. We

5. Reinstall the battery cover and the key
blade.
Car Finder Press the button twice within three
seconds. A tone sounds and the
direction indicators flash. We
recommend you use this method to locate
your vehicle, rather than using the panic
alarm.
Sounding the Panic Alarm
Note: The panic alarm only operates when
the ignition is off. Press the button to sound the
panic alarm. Press the button
again or switch the ignition on to
turn it off. Remote Start WARNING: To avoid exhaust fumes,
do not use remote start if your vehicle is
parked indoors or in areas that are not well
ventilated.
Note: Do not use remote start if your fuel
level is low. The remote start button is on the
transmitter.
This feature allows you to start your vehicle
from the outside. The transmitter has an
extended operating range.
You can configure your automatic climate
control to operate when you remote start
your vehicle.
See Climate Control (page
135).
Many states and provinces have restrictions
for the use of remote start. Check your local
and state or provincial laws for specific
requirements regarding remote start
systems. The remote start system does not work if any
of the following occur:
•
The ignition is on.
• The anti-theft alarm triggers.
• You switch the feature off in the
information display.
• The hood is open.
• The transmission is not in park (P).
• The battery voltage is below the
minimum operating voltage.

HEATED STEERING WHEEL
(IF
EQUIPPED)
The heated steering wheel button is on the
climate controls. Press the button to switch the
heated steering wheel on and off.
Note: You can use the heated steering
wheel only when the engine is running. Note:
The system uses a sensor and is
designed to control the temperature of the
steering wheel and to prevent it from
overheating.
Note: In warm temperatures, the steering
wheel quickly reaches its maximum
temperature and the system reduces the
current to the heating element. This could
cause you to think that the system has
stopped working but it has not. This is
normal.

Switching Dual Zone Mode On and Off
Press and release the button to
switch on temperature control for
the right-hand side of the vehicle.
Switching Maximum Air Conditioning
On and Off Press and release the button for
maximum cooling.
The left-hand and right-hand settings set to
LO, recirculated air flows through the
instrument panel air vents, air conditioning
turns on and the blower motor adjusts to the
highest speed.
Switching Maximum Defrost On and
Off Press and release the button for
maximum defrosting.
The left-hand and right-hand settings set to
HI, air flows through the windshield air vents,
and the blower motor adjusts to the highest
speed. You can also use this setting to defog and
clear the windshield of a thin covering of ice.
Note:

Note: The heated rear window also turns on
when you select maximum defrost.
Switching Recirculated Air On and Off Press and release the button to
switch between outside air and
recirculated air.
The air currently in the passenger
compartment recirculates. This may reduce
the time needed to cool the interior, when
used with A/C, and reduce unwanted odors
from entering your vehicle.
Note: Recirculated air may turn off, or
prevent you from switching on, in all air flow
modes except MAX A/C to reduce the risk
of fogging. Recirculation may also turn on
and off in various air distribution control
combinations during hot weather to improve
cooling efficiency. HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note:
Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.
Note: You may feel a small amount of air
from the footwell air vents regardless of the
air distribution setting.
Note: To reduce humidity build-up inside
your vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air always
switched on.
Note: Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the airflow
to the rear seats.
Note: Remove any snow, ice or leaves from
the air intake area at the base of the
windshield.
Note: To improve the time to reach a
comfortable temperature in hot weather,
drive with the windows open until you feel
cold air through the air vents.

Automatic Climate Control
Note:
Adjusting the settings when your
vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold is not
necessary. Automatic mode is best
recommended to maintain set temperature.
Note: The system adjusts to heat or cool the
interior to the temperature you select as
quickly as possible.
Note: For the system to function efficiently,
the instrument panel and side air vents
should be fully open.
Note: If you select AUTO during cold outside
temperatures, the system directs air flow to
the windshield and side window air vents. In
addition, the blower motor may run at a
slower speed until the engine warms up.
Note: If you select
AUTO during hot
temperatures and the inside of the vehicle
is hot, the system uses recirculated air to
maximize interior cooling. Blower motor
speed may also reduce until the air cools.
Quickly Heating the Interior
1. Press and release
AUTO. 2. Adjust the temperature function to the
setting you prefer.
Recommended Settings for Heating
1. Press and release
