Seats are a part of the Occupant Restraint
System of the vehicle.
WARNING!
• It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area,
inside or outside of a vehicle. In a colli-
sion, people riding in these areas are
more likely to be seriously injured or
killed.
• Do not allow people to ride in any area of
your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts. In a collision,
people riding in these areas are more
likely to be seriously injured or killed.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a
seat and using a seat belt properly.
Heated Seats — If Equipped
On some models, the front driver and passen-
ger seats may be equipped with heaters in
both the seat cushions and seatbacks.
Trim Access Door
Connector Unplugged

There are two heated seat switches that allow
the driver and passenger to operate the seats
independently. The controls for each seat are
located on a switch bank near the bottom
center of the instrument panel.
You can choose from HI, LO or OFF heat
settings. Amber indicator lights in each
switch indicate the level of heat in use. Two
indicator lights will illuminate for HI, one for
LO and none for OFF.Push the switch once to select HI-level heat-
ing. Push the switch a second time to select
LO-level heating. Push the switch a third
time to shut the heating elements OFF.
When the HI-level setting is selected, the
heater will provide a boosted heat level dur-
ing the initial stages of operation. Then, the
heat output will drop to the normal HI-level.
If the HI-level setting is selected, the system
will automatically switch to LO-level after
approximately 30 minutes of continuous op-
eration. At that time, the number of illumi-
nated LEDs changes from two to one, indicat-
ing the change. The LO-level setting will turn
OFF automatically after approximately
30 minutes.
NOTE:
When a heat setting is selected, heat will be
felt within two to five minutes.
WARNING!

tion 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. Sit-
ting in a seat that has been overheated
could cause serious burns due to the
increased surface temperature of the
seat.

center shoulder belt will not be able to be
extended for use. If you cannot extend the
