WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column while

ing 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 has
been turned on it can operate for an average of
80 minutes before automatically shutting off.
This time may vary depending on the tempera-
ture of the environment. 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 climate controls.
• Push the heated steering wheel button
once to turn the heating element on.
• Push the heated steering wheel button
second time to turn the heating element off.
NOTE:
The engine must be running for the heated
steering wheel to operate.
Vehicles Equipped With Remote Start
On models that are equipped with remote start,
the heated steering wheel can be programed to
come on during a remote start. Refer to "Instru-
ment Cluster Display" in "Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel" in the Owner's Manual for
further information.
