CAUTION
(1) Use a foot to operate the pedal
(2).

seatback is spring loaded, caus-
ing it to return to the vertical
position when the lock lever is
operated. When using the lever,

EG16A-J
The heated seats can be operated with the
ignition switch in the“ON”position.

2- Heater off.
3- Heater low (to keep the seat warm).
The indication lamp (A) will illuminate while
the heater is on.
CAUTION
(1) Switch off seat heaters when not
in use.
(2) 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 opera-
tion of the heater’s internal ther-
mostat and does not indicate a
malfunction.
(3) If the following types of per-
sons use the heated seats, they
might become too hot or receive
minor burns (red skin, heat blis-
ters, etc.):
·Children, elderly or ill people
·People with sensitive skin
·Excessively tired people
·People under the influence of
alcohol or sleep inducing medi-
cation (cold medicine, etc.)

other material with high heat
insulation properties on the seat
while using the heater; this

ment to overheat.
