Seat-mounted cup holders and armrest storage compartment
(if equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with cup holders and a storage compartment,
they are located in the rear seat armrest. To access the cup holders,
rotate armrest into use position. To open the storage compartment (if
equipped), pull up on the latch.
WARNING: Use only soft cups in the cupholder. Hard objects
can injure you in a collision.
Rear heated seats (if equipped)
WARNING: Persons who are unable to feel pain to 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. The seat
heater may cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used
for long periods of time. Do not place anything on the seat that
insulates against heat, such as a blanket or cushion, because this may
cause the seat heater to overheat. Do not puncture the seat with pins,
needles, or other pointed objects because this may damage the heating
element which may cause the seat heater to overheat. An overheated
seat may cause serious personal injury.
Note: Do not do the following:
• Place heavy objects on the seat
• Operate the seat heater if water or any other liquid is spilled on the
seat. Allow the seat to dry thoroughly.
The rear seat heat controls are located on the rear of the center console.
