accordance with the specific operating
conditions.
Note:To preserve the battery charge,
this function cannot be activated when
the engine is off.
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 condition 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.
Rear Seats
The rear seats allow for three
passengers.

head restraint.
The seats and the seatbelts are
considered as components of the
protection system for the vehicle's
occupants.
Note: Refer to the "Seatbelts" in
"Safety" for further information.
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.GUID-04066S0006EMRear Seat
