GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 35
STEERING WHEEL
Tilt/Telescoping Steering Column
This feature allows you to tilt the steering
column upward or downward. It also allows you
to lengthen or shorten the steering column. The
tilt/telescoping lever is located below the
steering wheel at the end of the steering
column.
Tilt/Telescoping Lever
To unlock the steering column, push the tilt/
telescoping lever downward (toward the floor).
To tilt the steering column, move the steering
wheel upward 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, pull the
tilt/telescoping lever upward until fully
engaged.
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 switch has been turned on, it will stay
on for an average of 80 minutes or more before
automatically shutting off. This time will vary
based on environmental 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 in your vehicle’s touchscreen or on
the instrument panel.
Auto Comfort Systems — If Equipped
In vehicles equipped with Auto On Comfort,
when turning on the vehicle the heated steering
wheel will automatically turn on when
temperatures are below 40°F (4.4°C).
Auto Comfort Systems can be enabled or
disabled. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
“Multimedia” for further information.
WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column while driv-
ing. Adjusting the steering column while driv-
ing or driving with the steering column
unlocked, could cause the driver to lose con-
trol of the vehicle. Failure to follow this warn-
ing may result in serious injury or death.
WARNING!
Persons who are unable to feel pain to the
skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medica-
tion, alcohol use, exhaustion, or other phys-
ical conditions must exercise care when
using the steering wheel heater. It may
cause burns even at low temperatures,
especially if used for long periods.
Do not place anything on the steering wheel
that insulates against heat, such as a
blanket or steering wheel covers of any type
and material. This may cause the steering
wheel heater to overheat.
