Rear Seats  
Rear Seat Reminder  
If equipped, the message REAR SEAT  
REMINDER LOOK IN REAR SEAT displays  
under certain conditions indicating there  
may be an item or passenger in the rear  
seat. Check before exiting the vehicle.  
Remote Start Heated and Ventilated Seats  
If equipped, the heated seats will turn on  
automatically during a remote start if it is  
cold outside and the ventilated seats will  
turn on automatically if it is hot outside.  
If equipped, the heated steering wheel will  
turn on automatically during a remote start  
if it is cold outside. The heated and  
ventilated seat indicators and heated  
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 vehicles 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.  
If equipped with a heated steering wheel,  
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.  
To enable or disable remote start heated or  
ventilated seats, select Settings > Vehicle >  
Remote Lock, Unlock, and Start > Remote  
Start Auto Heat Seats or Remote Start Auto  
Cool Seats > ON or OFF. See Remote Vehicle  
Start 0 18.

Folding the Rear Seat Cushion  
If you cannot feel temperature change or  
pain to the skin, the seat heater may  
cause burns. See the Warning under  
Heated and Ventilated Front Seats 0 49.  
Either side of the rear seat cushion can be  
folded up for added cargo space.  
Caution  
Folding a rear seat with the seat belts  
still fastened may cause damage to the  
seat or the seat belts. Always unbuckle  
the seat belts and return them to their  
normal stowed position before folding a  
rear seat.  
To fold the seat, slowly pull the seat  
cushion up.  
To return the seat to the normal seating  
position, slowly pull the seat cushion down.  
Make sure that nothing is on the seat  
cushion.  
Warning  
{
A seat belt that is improperly routed, not  
properly attached, or twisted will not  
provide the protection needed in a crash.  
The person wearing the belt could be  
seriously injured. After restoring the seat  
to the normal seating position, always  
check to be sure that the seat belts are  
properly routed and attached, and are  
not twisted.  
If available, the buttons are on the rear of  
the center console. To operate, the engine  
must be running.  
Press M or L to heat the left or right  
outboard seat cushion. An indicator on the  
climate control display appears when this  
feature is on.

This feature turns on at the highest setting.  
With each press of the button, the heated  
seat changes to the next lower setting, and  
then the off setting. Three lights indicate  
the highest setting, and one light indicates  
the lowest. If the heated seats are on high,  
the level may automatically be lowered  
after approximately 30 minutes.  
This vehicle has indicators as a reminder to  
buckle the seat belts. See Seat Belt  
Reminders 0 115.  
Seat Belts  
This section describes how to use seat belts  
properly, and some things not to do.  
Why Seat Belts Work  
Warning  
{
Do not let anyone ride where a seat belt  
cannot be worn properly. In a crash,  
if you or your passenger(s) are not  
Remote Start Heated Seats  
wearing seat belts, injuries can be much  
worse than if you are wearing seat belts.  
You can be seriously injured or killed by  
hitting things inside the vehicle harder or  
by being ejected from the vehicle. In  
addition, anyone who is not buckled up  
can strike other passengers in the vehicle.  
If equipped, the heated seats will turn on  
automatically during a remote start if it is  
cold outside. The heated seat indicators may  
come on during this operation. The heated  
seats may cancel when the vehicle is  
started. These features can be manually  
selected with the heated seat buttons after  
the vehicle is turned on.  
It is extremely dangerous to ride in a  
cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle.  
In a collision, passengers riding in these  
areas are more likely to be seriously  
injured or killed. Do not allow passengers  
to ride in any area of the vehicle that is  
not equipped with seats and seat belts.  
When riding in a vehicle, you travel as fast  
as the vehicle does. If the vehicle stops  
suddenly, you keep going until something  
stops you. It could be the windshield, the  
instrument panel, or the seat belts!  
The temperature performance of an  
unoccupied seat may be reduced. This is  
normal.  
To enable or disable remote start heated  
seats, select Settings > Vehicle > Remote  
Lock, Unlock, and Start > Remote Start Auto  
Heat Seats > ON or OFF. See Remote Vehicle  
Start 0 18.  
When you wear a seat belt, you and the  
vehicle slow down together. There is more  
time to stop because you stop over a longer  
distance and, when worn properly, your  
strongest bones take the forces from the  
seat belts. That is why wearing seat belts  
makes such good sense.  
Always wear a seat belt, and check that  
all passenger(s) are restrained  
properly too.
