60/40 Split Folding Rear Seat With Fold Flat Feature - Jeep Cherokee 2009 Operating Information Manual

The controls for each heater are located near the
bottom center of the instrument panel. After turn-
ing the ignition ON, you can choose from HIGH,
LOW, or OFF heat settings. Amber indicator lights
in each switch indicate the level of heat in use.
Two indicator lights will illuminate for HIGH, one
for LOW, and none for OFF.
Heated Seat Switches
Press the switch once to select HIGH-level heat-
ing. Press the switch a second time to select
LOW-level heating. Press the switch a third time to
shut OFF the heating elements.
When high-level heating is selected, the heaters
provide a boosted heat level during the first four
minutes of operation after heating is activated.
The heat output then drops to the normal high-
level heating. If high-level heating is selected, the
66
system will automatically switch to low-level heat-
ing after 30 minutes of continuous operation. At
that time, the number of indicator lights changes
from two to one, indicating the change. Operation
on the low-level heating will also turn OFF auto-
matically after 30 minutes.
NOTE:
When a heat setting is selected, heat will be felt
within two to five minutes.
WARNING!
Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin
because of advanced age, chronic illness, dia-
betes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol
use, exhaustion or other physical condition must
exercise care when using the seat heater. It may
cause burns even at low temperatures, espe-
cially if used for long periods. Do not place
anything on the seat that insulates against heat,
such as a blanket or cushion. This may cause
the seat heater to overheat.
60/40 Split Folding Rear Seat with
Fold Flat Feature
To provide additional storage area, each rear seat
can be folded flat. This allows for extended cargo
space and still maintains some rear seating room.
NOTE:
Prior to folding the rear seat, it may be neces-
sary to position the front seat to its mid-track
position. Also, be sure that the front seats are
fully upright and positioned forward. This will
allow the rear seat to fold down easily.
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 seat
and using a seat belt properly.
To Lower the Rear Seat
1. Locate the release strap on the lower outboard
side of each rear seatback.
2. Pull the release strap (toward the front of the
vehicle).
