Heated seats*
E00401100205
The heated seats can be operated with the ignition switch in the
“ON” position.
The indication lamp (A) will illuminate while the heater is on.
NOTE●Do not place heavy objects on the seat or stick pins, nee-
dles, or other pointed objects into it.
●When cleaning the seat, do not use benzene, gasoline,
alcohol, or other organic solvents; this might damage the
surface of the seat and also the heater element.
●If water or any other liquid is spilled on the seat, allow it
to dry thoroughly before attempting to use the heater.
1- Heater high (for quick heating).
2- Heater off.
3- Heater low (to keep the seat warm).
CAUTION
!●Operate in the high position for quick heating. Once
the seat is warm, set the heater to low to keep it
warm. Slight variations in seat temperature may be
felt while using the heated seats. This is caused by
the operation of the heater’s internal thermostat and
does not indicate a malfunction.
●If the following types of persons use the heated seats,
they might become too hot or receive minor burns
(red skin, heat blisters, etc.):
• Children, elderly or ill people
• People with sensitive skin
• Excessively tired people
• People under the influence of alcohol or sleep
inducing medication (cold medicine, etc.)
●Do not use a blanket, cushion, or other material with
high heat insulation properties on the seat while
using the heater; this might cause the heater element
to overheat.●Turn the heater off immediately if it appears to be
malfunctioning during use.
CAUTION

utes.

●In the following circumstances, moisture can form on
discs and inside the audio system, preventing normal
operation.
• When there is high humidity (for example, when it is
raining).
• When the temperature suddenly rises, such as right after
the heater is turned on in cold weather.
In this case, wait until the moisture has had time to dry
out.
●When the CD player is subjected to violent vibrations,
such as during off-road driving, the tracking may not
work.
●When storing compact discs, always store them in their
separate cases. Never place compact discs in direct sun-
light, or in any place where the temperature or humidity is
high.
●Never touch the flat surface of the disc where there isn’t a
label. This will damage the disc surface and could affect
the sound quality. When handling a compact disc, always
hold it by the outer edge and the centre hole.●To clean a disc, use a soft, clean, dry cloth. Wipe directly
from the centre hole towards the outer edge. Do not wipe
in a circle. Never use any chemicals such as benzine, paint
thinner, a disc spray cleaner, or an anti-static agent on the
disc.
●Do not use a ball point pen, felt pen, pencil, etc. to write
on the label surface of the disc.
