STEERING WHEEL
Tilt/Telescoping Steering Column
This feature allows you to tilt the steering col-
umn upward or downward. It also allows you to
lengthen or shorten the steering column. The
tilt/telescoping lever is located below the steer-
ing wheel at the end of the steering column.
To unlock the steering column, push the control
handle downward (toward the floor). To tilt the
steering column, move the steering wheel up-
ward or downward as desired. To lengthen or
shorten the steering column, pull the steering
wheel outward or push it inward as desired. To
lock the steering column in position, push the
control handle upward until fully engaged.
WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column while
driving. Adjusting the steering column while
driving or driving with the steering column
unlocked, could cause the driver to lose
control of the vehicle. Failure to follow this
warning may result in serious injury or death.
Heated Steering Wheel — If
Equipped
The steering wheel contains a heating element
that helps warm your hands in cold weather. The
heated steering wheel has only one temperature
setting. Once the heated steering wheel has
been turned on, it can operate for an average of
80 minutes or more before automatically shut-
ting off. This time may vary depending on envi-
ronmental temperatures. The heated steering
wheel can shut off early or may not turn on when
the steering wheel is already warm.
The heated steering wheel control button is
located within the Uconnect system. You can
gain access to the control button through the
climate screen or the controls screen.
•
Press the heated steering wheel button
once to turn the heating element on.
•
Press the heated steering wheel button a
second time to turn the heating element off.
NOTE:
The engine must be running for the heated
steering wheel to operate.
Vehicles With Remote Start — If Equipped
On models that are equipped with remote start,
the heated steering wheel can be programmed
to come on during a remote start through the
Uconnect system. Refer to “Uconnect Settings”
in “Multimedia” for further information.
