care when using the seat heater,
especially for long periods of time. Do
not place anything on the seat that
insulates against heat, such as a blanket,
cushion, cover, or similar item. This may
cause the seat heater to overheat. An
overheated seat heater may cause a burn
or may damage the seat.

steering wheel indicator may come on
during this operation.
This feature will activate when a second row
door is opened while the vehicle is on or up
to 10 minutes before the vehicle is turned
on. There will be an alert when the vehicle
is turned off. The alert does not directly
detect objects in the rear seat; instead,
under certain conditions, it detects when a
rear door is opened and closed, indicating
that there may be something in the
rear seat.
Auto Heated and Ventilated Seats
When the vehicle is on, this feature,
if enabled, will automatically activate the
heated or ventilated seats at the level
required by the vehicle’s interior
temperature.
The active high, medium, low, or off heated
or ventilated seat level will be indicated by
the manual heated or ventilated seat
buttons on the center stack. Use the manual
heated or ventilated seat buttons on the
center stack to turn auto heated or
ventilated seats off. If the passenger seat is
unoccupied, the auto heated or ventilated
seats feature will not activate that seat.

the auto heated steering wheel activation
will follow the heated seat auto activation
and the heated wheel indicator will follow
the state of the steering wheel heat.
The heated and ventilated seats and heated
steering wheel may cancel when the vehicle
is started. These features can be manually
selected after the vehicle is turned on.
The feature is active only once each time
the vehicle is turned on and off, and will
require reactivation by opening and closing
the second row doors. There may be an
alert even when there is nothing in the rear
seat; for example, if a child entered the
vehicle through the rear door and left the
vehicle without the vehicle being shut off.
The temperature performance of an
unoccupied seat may be reduced. This is
normal.

ventilated seats, select Settings > Vehicle >
