Front ventilated seats
(where provided)
Tans are placed in the seat cushion and
backrest to suck air out of the passenger
compartment and introduce air through
the small holes in the seat cover to keep
the driver and front passenger cool in the
event of high external temperatures. The
fans run at two speeds: high and low.
The front ventilated seats control buttons
are located within the Uconnect™
system. You can gain access to the
control buttons through the climate
screen or the controls screen.
Press the button once to choose HI
(High ventilation).
Press the button a second time to
choose LO (Low ventilation).
Press the button a third time to
turn the ventilated seat function OFF.
NOTE The engine must be running for
the ventilated seats to operate.
Vehicles with remote start
(where provided)
On models provided with the remote start
function, the ventilated seats can be
programmed so that they are activated
during remote start.
This function can be programmed
via the Uconnect™ system. Refer
to the "Settings" paragraph in the
"Multimedia" section for further
information.

WARNING
28) All adjustments must be made with
the car stationary.
29) It is 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 severely injured or
killed.
30) 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 severely injured or killed.
31) Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in
a seat and using a seat belt properly.
32) After releasing the adjustment lever,
always check that the seat is locked on
the guides by trying to move it back and
forth. If the seat is not locked into place,
it may unexpectedly slide and cause the
driver to lose control of the car.
33) 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.
34) Do not ride with the backrest reclined
so that the belt strap 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.
35) Do not pile luggage or cargo higher
than the top of the seatback. This could
impair visibility or become a dangerous
5520574D
projectile in a sudden stop or collision.
36) It is extremely dangerous to ride
in a load compartment of the car. In a
collision, people riding in these areas
are more likely to be severely injured or
killed.
37) Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not equipped
with seats and seat belts.
38) Make sure the backrests are properly
secured at both sides (not visible "red
notches") to prevent them from moving
forward, in the event of sharp braking,
with possible impact with the passengers.
39) People who can't feel skin pain due to
advanced age, chronic diseases, diabetes,
spine damage, medication, alcohol,
exhaustion, or other physical conditions,
must be careful when using the seat
