Particulate Matter Pollution
Information

PM2.5 is particulate patter pollution smaller
than 2.5 microns in size in the air.

PM2.5 particles can include cigarette smoke,
road level pollution, industrial pollution, and
some allergens.

The numbers provided by the cabin PM2.5
sensor are estimates of the concentrations
of particles in the cabin air. The
measurement unit is μg/m3, representing
mass (micrograms of particulates) per unit of
air volume (cubic meter of air).

The colors around the PM2.5 numbers
provide visual cues about the concentration
levels.

Note:

PM2.5 is only one pollution type

contributing to an Air Quality Index and by
itself does not represent the Air Quality
Index.

SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION

WARNING:

Sitting improperly, out of

position or with the seatback reclined too
far can take weight off the seat cushion
and affect the decision of the passenger
sensing system, resulting in serious injury
or death in the event of a crash. Always sit
upright against your seat back, with your
feet on the floor.

WARNING:

Do not recline the seat

backrest too far as this can cause the
occupant to slide under the seatbelt,
resulting in personal injury in the event of
a crash.

WARNING:

Do not place objects

higher than the top of the seat backrest.
Failure to follow this instruction could result
in personal injury or death in the event of
a sudden stop or crash.

E68595

When you use them properly, the seat, head
restraint, seatbelt and airbags will provide
optimum protection in the event of a crash.

We recommend that you follow these
guidelines:

•

Sit in an upright position with the base of
your spine as far back as possible.

•

Do not recline the seat backrest so that
your torso is more than 30 degrees from
the upright position.

•

Adjust the head restraint so that the top
of it is level with the top of your head and
as far forward as possible. Make sure that
you remain comfortable.

•

Keep sufficient distance between
yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of 10 in (25 cm)
between your breastbone and the airbag
cover.

•

Hold the steering wheel with your arms
slightly bent.

•

Bend your legs slightly so that you can
press the pedals fully.

•

Position the shoulder strap of the seatbelt
over the center of your shoulder and
position the lap strap tightly across your
hips.

Make sure that your driving position is
comfortable and that you can maintain full
control of your vehicle.

HEAD RESTRAINTS

WARNING:

Fully adjust the head

restraint before you sit in or operate your
vehicle. This will help minimize the risk of
neck injury in the event of a crash. Do not
adjust the head restraint when your vehicle
is moving.

WARNING:

The head restraint is a

safety device. Whenever possible it should
be installed and properly adjusted when
the seat is occupied. Failure to adjust the
head restraint properly could reduce its
effectiveness during certain impacts.

Note:

Adjust the seat backrest to an upright

driving position before adjusting the head
restraint. Adjust the head restraint so that
the top of it is level with the top of your head
and as far forward as possible. Make sure
that you remain comfortable. If you are
extremely tall, adjust the head restraint to
its highest position.

associated with your preferred driving
position. The memory features move to the

Note:

You can only recall a preset memory

position when the ignition is off, or when the

the vehicle is not moving if the ignition is on.

You can also recall a preset memory position
by:

•

Pressing the unlock button on your
remote control if it is linked to a preset
position.

•

Unlocking the intelligent driver door
handle if a linked remote control is
present.

•

Recalling a personal profile in your SYNC
3 menu.

Note:

Using a linked remote control to recall

your memory position when the ignition is
off moves the seat to the easy entry position.

Note:

Pressing any active memory feature

adjustment control, or any memory button
during a memory recall, cancels the
operation.

Easy Entry and Exit Feature

If you enable the easy entry and exit feature,
it moves the driver seat position rearward up
to 2 in (5 cm) when you switch the ignition
off.

The driver seat returns to the previous
position when you switch the ignition on.

You can enable or disable this feature
through the touchscreen. See

Settings

(page 555).

Personal Profiles

This feature allows you to create multiple
personal profiles enabling users to
personalize vehicle’s settings. You can
create one profile for each preset memory
seat button along with a guest profile. You
can recall a profile using SYNC 3 or the
preset button you selected when you created
your profile. You can also link a remote
control and a mobile device to your profile,
which are used to recall it.

Creating a Personal Profile

Use the SYNC display to create a personal
profile.

1.

Switch the ignition on and leave the
vehicle in park (P).

2. Select the Personal Profiles button under

Settings.

3. Follow the instructions on the display.

185

Seats

Linking a Personal Profile to Your Remote
Control or Mobile Device

You can save preset memory positions for
up to three remote controls, by assigning a
remote control to a personal profile in your
SYNC 3. You can assign three additional
remote controls set up as Phone as a Key.
See

Keys and Remote Controls

(page 68).

Use the SYNC display to link a remote
control, mobile device or both to a personal
profile.

1.

Switch the ignition on and leave the
vehicle in park (P).

2. Select the Personal Profiles button under

Settings.

3. Touch the arrow for the profile you wish

to link to a remote control or mobile
device.

4. Select the correct button to link a remote

control, mobile device, or both.

5. Follow the instructions on the display.

Note:

To successfully link a mobile device,

the mobile device must be present in your
vehicle, and must have previously been
setup as a remote control for your vehicle.

Note:

If more than one linked remote control

is in range, the memory function moves to
the settings of the first key to initiate a
memory recall.

Note:

The guest profile consists of existing

settings when there is no driver profile
created. After you create a driver profile, the
guest profile serves as an additional driver
profile.

Note:

You cannot link a personalized name,

a memory seat button or a remote control
to a guest profile.

Personal Settings

Personal Profiles allow you to personalize
positional settings such as seats and mirrors,
as well as non-positional settings such as
radio, navigation, driver assist and system
settings. See

SYNC™ 3

(page 507). You

cannot change the menu locations and
settings of those personalized features with
Personal Profiles.

Note:

Non-positional settings are saved to

the active driver profile whenever you
change a setting.

Note:

You can save positional settings if you

press and hold a memory seat button.

Recalling and Changing a Profile

You can recall a profile by:

•

Using a remote control or mobile device
that has been linked to a driver profile to
access the remote start feature, press an
unlock button or open the door with the
exterior door handle.

•

Pressing a memory seat button that has
been linked to a driver profile.

•

Using the Personal Profiles menu on the
SYNC touchscreen.

previously active profile. If the active profile
is not your preferred profile, you can change
it using any of the three methods listed.

186

Seats

When you switch on the Personal Profiles
feature:

•

Unlocking a door with a remote control
or mobile device that is not linked to a
driver profile does not change the active
profile, but remains the last known
profile. It will not change the positional
settings.

•

Pressing a memory seat button that is
not linked to a driver profile or has not
been saved to a preset setting does not
change active profile, but remains in the
last known profile. It will not change the
positional settings.

•

Pressing a memory seat button that is
not linked to a driver profile but has been
saved to a preset setting does not recall
any non-positional settings, but recalls
the positional settings that you saved to
that memory seat button.

See

SYNC™ 3 Troubleshooting

(page 557).

When you switch off a Personal Profiles
feature:

•

Unlocking a door with a remote control
or mobile device does not recall any
non-positional settings, but still recalls
positional settings from the driver profile
which the remote control or mobile
device had been linked to.

•

Pressing a memory seat button that has
not been linked to a driver profile or has
not been saved to a preset setting does
not recall any settings, positional or
non-positional.

•

Pressing a memory seat button that has
been linked to a driver profile or has
saved to a preset setting does not recall
any non-positional settings, but recalls
the positional settings that you saved to
that memory seat button.
