tion lamp (A) will illuminate while the heater is on. 1 (HI) - Heater high (for quick heating).

l
Switch off seat heaters when not in use.
l Operate

in the high position for quick heat-
ing. Once the seat is warm, set the heater
to low to keep it warm. Slight variations
in seat temperature may be felt while us-
ing the heated seats. This is caused by the
operation of the heater’s internal thermo-
stat and does not indicate a malfunction.
l If the following types of persons use the
heated seats, they might become too hot CAUTION
or receive minor burns (red skin, heat blis-
ters, etc.):
•

Children, elderly or ill people
• People with sensitive skin

medicine, etc.)
l Do not place heavy objects on the seat or
stick pins, needles, or other pointed ob-
jects into it.
l Do not use a blanket, cushion, or other ma-
terial with high heat insulation properties
on the seat while using the heater; this
might cause the heater element to overheat
l Do not use benzine, kerosene, petrol, alco-
hol or other organic solvents when clean-
ing the seats. Doing so could damage not
only the seat cover, but also the heater el-
ement.
l If water or any other liquid is spilled on
the seat, allow it to dry thoroughly before
attempting to use the heater.
l Turn the heater off immediately if it ap-
pears to be malfunctioning during use. Rear seat

serious injury or death in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident, al-
ways make sure the head restraints are in-
stalled and properly positioned when the
seat is occupied.

on the seatback. This can adversely affect
head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the
restraint.
