Then, push the memory button you want to assign the set position to for 1.5 seconds. When a new seat position is memorized, the previously memorized position on the same button is automatically overwritten. Recalling a memorized position can also be done for approximately 3 minutes after the doors are opened and for approximately 1 minute after the engine is stopped. To recall a memorized position, push the assigned button briefly.

Warning

• Adjusting a seat while driving may be dangerous. Moving a seat while driving could result in loss of control which could cause a collision and serious injury or death.
• 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.
• Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the shoulder belt 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.

Heated Seats — If Equipped
Front Heated Seats
With the engine in the ON position, push the driver or passenger heated seat button located on the instrument panel.

You can select three heating levels:

1. Maximum — Three LED indicators illuminated on the buttons
2. Average —Two LED indicators illuminated on the buttons
3. Minimum — One LED indicator illuminated on the buttons

After selecting a heating level, heat will be felt within a few minutes. A quick push of the heated seat button will select the heat levels in order of highest to lowest. A fourth push of the button will turn the heated seat off.

The “Minimum” setting is automatically deactivated once a certain period of time has elapsed. This varies on a case-by-case basis, in accordance with the specific operating conditions.
Note: The heated seat function can only be activated in temperatures below 39°F (4°C).

Vehicles Equipped With Remote Start
On models that are equipped with remote start, the front heated seats can be programmed to come on during remote start. The feature can be activated through the Information and Entertainment System. Refer to the Information and Entertainment System Owner’s Manual Supplement for further information.

Rear Heated Seats — If Equipped
If equipped with rear heated seats, the controls can be found on the rear of the center console and will function the same as the front heated seat controls. Note: To preserve the battery charge, these functions cannot be activated when the engine is OFF.
Warning

• Persons who are unable to feel pain in the skin because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion, or other physical conditions must exercise care when using the seat heater. It may cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat or seatback that insulates against heat, such as a blanket or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat that has been overheated could cause serious burns due to the increased surface temperature of the seat.

Split Folding Rear Seat
The rear seat allows the luggage compartment to be partially (40/20/40) or totally extended.

Partial Extension Of The Luggage Compartment (40/20/40)
Extending the right side of the luggage compartment allows you to carry two passengers on the left part of the rear seat while extending the left side allows you to carry one passenger.
Proceed as follows:

1. Completely lower the rear seat head restraints.
2. Place the seat belt so that it doesn’t impede the movement of the backrest while tilting it.
3. Pull the left-hand seat back release lever (inside the luggage compartment or the release at the base of the rear seat accessible from the rear doors) to fold down the left side, or the right-hand seat back release lever to fold down the right side of the backrest. It will fold forwards automatically. If necessary, assist the backrest during the initial stage of tilting.

Full Expansion Of The Luggage Compartment
Tilting the rear seat completely forward allows for maximum loading volume.
Proceed as follows:

1. Completely lower the rear seat head restraints.
2. Place the seat belt so that it doesn’t impede the movement of the backrest while tilting it.
3. Pull both seat back-release levers to fold down the backrests. They will fold forward automatically. If necessary, assist the backrests during the initial stage of tilting.

It is also possible to disengage the sections of the rear seat from inside the luggage compartment or by using one of the two levers located below the rear seat. Each lever folds down the section of the backrest on the same side.

Repositioning The Backrests
Move the seat belts to the side, making sure that they are correctly extended and not twisted. Also, make sure that they are not caught on anything behind the backrests of the seats. Then, lift the backrests by pushing them rearward until you hear the lock click into place on both attachment mechanisms.
Warning: Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the seatback is not securely locked into position the seat will not provide the proper stability for child seats and/or passengers. An improperly latched seat could cause serious injury.

Central Backrest Section Tilting
Before tilting the backrest, make sure that the rear center seat belt is not fastened and that there aren’t any objects on the seat itself (if there are any, remove them). Pull the release strap upward to release the central part of the backrest from its housing and tilt it forward using the head restraint.

Central Backrest Section Repositioning
Using the head restraint, lift the central portion upwards, manually guiding it back into place. Lightly push to make sure that it is properly latched. Make sure that the armrest is properly latched by gently trying to move it. If it is not latched, repeat the operation.

Easy Entry Function
The Easy Entry function is designed to retract the driver-side seat automatically by 2.36 in (60 mm) to make it easier for the driver to get in and out of the car. The movement is activated only if the seat is set to a driving position which is in front of the B pillar of the vehicle. The function is associated with power front seats for each of the three stored positions. The Easy Entry function can be activated/deactivated through the Information and Entertainment System.

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

• A loose head restraint thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could cause serious injury or death to occupants of the vehicle.
• Always securely stow removed head restraints in a location outside the occupant compartment.
• ALL the head restraints MUST be reinstalled in the vehicle to properly protect the occupants. Follow the re-installation instructions above prior to operating the vehicle or occupying a seat.
• Do not place items over the top of the Reactive Head Restraint, such as coats, seat covers or portable DVD players. These items may interfere with the operation of the Reactive Head Restraint in the event of a collision and could result in serious injury or death.
