c
The control panel is located in the center console.
This feature
is designed primarily for use on damp and chilly days. The
LO setting warms the seatback and cushion until the seat approximates
body temperature.
On colder days, the HI setting heats the seats to an
even higher temperature.
To prevent uncomfortable overheating of the
seats, the heating elements are thermostatically regulated to automatically
maintain the temperature at
the selected setting. A telltale light in the
control switch reminds you that the heating system is in use. To preserve
the battery, the heated seats can only be used
when the ignition is turned
on, and are deactivated when the ignition is turned off.
Head Restraints
Slide the head restraint up or down so that the top of the restraint is
closest to the top of your ears. This position reduces the chance of a neck
injury
in a crash.
The head restraints tilt forward and rearward
also.

sound.
If you don't, the adjustment feature won't set, and you'll have
to start again.
5. Now you can add a small amount of slack. Lean forward slightly, then
sit back.
If you've added more than 1 inch (25 mm) of slack, pull the
shoulder belt out as you did before and start again.
If you move around in the vehicle enough, pull out the shoulder belt,
or
open your door, the belt will become tight again. If this happens, you can
reset it.
