of the window when closing a window.
The lowered window will become operational after a few sec-
onds.

times successively, the safety mechanism will be tem-
porarily cancelled.

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

to overheat.●Turn the heater off immediately if it appears to be
malfunctioning during use.

When the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position, the warn-
ing lamp will come on and a tone will sound for about 6 sec-
onds. If the front seat belt remains unfastened approximately
1 minute later, the warning lamp will flash and the tone sound
intermittently (each 12 seconds) when the vehicle is driven. If
the passenger subsequently unfastens the seat belt while driv-
ing, the warning lamp and tone will issue further warnings.
And if the seat belt remains unfastened, the warning lamp and
tone will issue further warnings each time the vehicle starts
moving from a stop. When the seat belt is fastened, the warn-
ings will stop. NOTE●When luggage is placed on the front passenger seat, a sen-
sor in the seat cushion may, depending on the weight and
position of the luggage, cause the warning tone to sound
and the warning lamp to come on.
