the switch to the OFF position (center).
An optional ventilated net seat has this built-in
heater only in the seat cushion part, not in the

CAUTION

The battery could run down if the
seat heater is operated while the en-
gine is not running.

Do not use the seat heater for ex-
tended periods or when no one is
using the seat.

Do not put anything on the seat
which insulates heat, such as a blan-
ket, cushion, seat cover, etc. Other-
wise, the seat may become
overheated.
Do not place anything hard or heavy
on the seat or pierce it with a pin or
similar object. This may result in
damage to the heater.

Any liquid spilled on the heated seat
should be removed immediately with
a dry cloth.

When cleaning the seat, never use
gasoline, thinner, or any similar ma-
terials.

If any abnormalities are found or the
heated seat does not operate, turn
the switch off and have the system
checked by your NISSAN dealer.
