Front Ventilated Seats — If
Equipped
Located in the seat cushion and seat back are
small fans that draw the air from the passenger
compartment and move air through fine perfo-
rations in the seat cover to help keep the driver
and front passenger cooler in higher ambient
temperatures. The fans operate 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 ventilated seat button
once to
choose HIGH.
•
Press the ventilated seat button
a second
time to choose LOW.
•
Press the ventilated seat button
a third
time to turn the ventilated seat OFF.
NOTE:
The engine must be running for the venti-
lated seats to operate.
Vehicles Equipped With Remote Start
On models that are equipped with remote start,
the ventilated seats can be programed to come
on during a remote start.
This feature can be programmed through the
Uconnect® system. Refer to “Uconnect® Set-
tings” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel”
for further information.
Head Restraints
Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk
of injury by restricting head movement in the
event of a rear-impact. Head restraints should
be adjusted so that the top of the head restraint
is located above the top of your ear.
WARNING!
The head restraints for all occupants must be
properly adjusted prior to operating the ve-
hicle or occupying a seat. Head restraints
should never be adjusted while the vehicle is
in motion. Driving a vehicle with the head
restraints improperly adjusted or removed
could cause serious injury or death in the
event of a collision.
Active Head Restraints — Front Seats
Active Head Restraints are passive, deployable
components, and vehicles with this equipment
cannot be readily identified by any markings,
only through visual inspection of the head re-
straint. The Active Head Restraints (AHR) will
be split in two halves, with the front half being
soft foam and trim, the back half being decora-
tive plastic.
When AHRs deploy during a rear impact, the
front half of the head restraint extends forward
to reduce the gap between the back of the
occupant’s head and the AHR. This system is
design to reduce the risk of injury to the driver or
front passenger in certain types of rear impacts.
Refer to “Occupant Restraints” in “Things To
Know Before Starting Your Vehicle” for further
information.
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the
head restraint. To lower the head restraint,
press the push button, located at the base of the
head restraint, and push downward on the head
restraint.
