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.
Do not place any objects on the steering
wheel (e.g. permanently fixed covers of any
type or material) which could interfere with
the capacitive hand detection sensor on the
steering wheel of the Active Blind Spot Assist
(ABSA), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Traffic
Jam Assist (TJA) or Highway Assist (HAS)
systems (if equipped).
WARNING!
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
after-market operation involving steering sys -
tem or steering column modifications (e.g.
installation of anti-theft device) that could
adversely affect performance. Doing so could
void the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, cause
SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEMS INCLUDING
INJURY, and could result in the vehicle not
meeting applicable government
safety regulations.
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 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.

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.

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.
