Important: The instrument panel cluster is designed to let you know about many important aspects of your vehicle’s operation. The message center can provide critical information

to prevent damage to your vehicle. It is important to read your Owner Manual and become familiar with the information that is being relayed to you by the lights, gauges and

indicators, particularly the message center, and what action can be taken to ensure your safety and to prevent damage.

HEATED FRONT SEATS

Select a heat setting for the seatback only • Press and release the vertical button

(“2” left) until the indicator light shows the desired setting.

cool button (“1” above).

• Seatback Only: This can only be used for the heat feature. Press this button (“2” left) to heat the seatback and cycle through the heat settings of high, medium, low and off. Red indicator lights will glow for each heat setting chosen: three lights for high, two for medium and one for low. A light in the button will also glow to indicate the seatback heat is on.

• Entire Seat: Press this button (“3” left)

to heat or cool the entire seat and cycle through the settings of high, medium, low and off. Red (for heat) or blue (for cool) indicator lights will glow for each setting chosen: three lights for high, two for medium and one for low.

HomeLink® TRANSMITTER Program HomeLink Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to program up to three channels: 1. Press and hold down the two

outside buttons, releasing only when the indicator light begins to flash, after 20 seconds. Do not hold down the buttons for longer than 30 seconds and do not repeat this step to program a second and/or third transmitter to the remaining two HomeLink buttons.

2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter about 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink buttons while keeping the indicator light in view.

3. Simultaneously press and hold

both the desired button on HomeLink and the hand-held transmitter button. Do not release

Important: The instrument panel cluster is designed to let you know about many important aspects of your vehicle’s operation. The message center can provide critical information

to prevent damage to your vehicle. It is important to read your Owner Manual and become familiar with the information that is being relayed to you by the lights, gauges and

indicators, particularly the message center, and what action can be taken to ensure your safety and to prevent damage.

HEATED FRONT SEATS

Select a heat setting for the seatback only • Press and release the vertical button

(“2” left) until the indicator light shows the desired setting.

This feature allows you to heat the front seatbacks and seat cushions simultaneously or just the seatbacks. Three heat settings are available. The controls are located on the driver and front passenger door panels. Select a heat setting for both the seatback and seat cushion • Press and release the horizontal

button (“1” above) until the indicator light shows the desired setting.

CLIMATE CONTROL SEATS — PLATINUM EDITION With the climate control seats you can choose to heat or cool your seat. The seats will only operate either in the heat or cool mode; for example, you cannot cool the seat cushion while heating the seatback. To operate the climate controlled seats, do the following: • Press the red heat button or the blue

cool button (“1” above).

• Seatback Only: This can only be used for the heat feature. Press this button (“2” left) to heat the seatback and cycle through the heat settings of high, medium, low and off. Red indicator lights will glow for each heat setting chosen: three lights for high, two for medium and one for low. A light in the button will also glow to indicate the seatback heat is on.

• Entire Seat: Press this button (“3” left)

to heat or cool the entire seat and cycle through the settings of high, medium, low and off. Red (for heat) or blue (for cool) indicator lights will glow for each setting chosen: three lights for high, two for medium and one for low.

Note: You may hear a fan running when the climate control seats are turned on. This is normal for the operation of this feature.
