Heated Seats
If your vehicle has this
feature, the heated front
seat controls are located
on the instrument
panel under the climate
controls.
Push ON once for the HI setting or twice for the LO
setting. The lights above the button will come on
to indicate which setting has been activated. Push OFF
to turn the heated seat off. The LO setting warms
the seatback and cushion until the seat approximates
body temperature. The HI setting heats the seatback
and cushion to a slightly higher temperature.
The heated seats can only be used when the ignition is
turned on. The heating elements in the seats
automatically turn off when the vehicle’s ignition is
turned off.
Reclining Seatbacks
If your vehicle has a power
recliner, the vertical control
described previously in
this section reclines
the front seatbacks.
If your vehicle has the manual recliner, lift the lever on
the outboard side of the seat and move the seatback
to the desired position. Release the lever to lock
the seatback. Pull up on the lever without pushing on
the seatback and the seatback will go to an upright
position.

Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped
Vehicle
Air bags affect how your vehicle should be serviced.
There are parts of the air bag systems in several places
around your vehicle. Your dealer and the service manual
have information about servicing your vehicle and the air
bag systems. To purchase a service manual, seeService
Publications Ordering Information on page 7-12.
{CAUTION:
For up to 10 seconds after the ignition key is
turned off and the battery is disconnected, an
air bag can still inate during improper
service. You can be injured if you are close to
an air bag when it inates. Avoid yellow
connectors. They are probably part of the air
bag system. Be sure to follow proper service
procedures, and make sure the person
performing work for you is qualied to do so.
The air bag systems do not need regular maintenance.
Restraint System Check
Checking Your Restraint Systems
Now and then, make sure the safety belt reminder light
and all your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors
and anchorages are working properly. Look for any other
loose or damaged safety belt system parts. If you see
anything that might keep a safety belt system from doing
its job, have it repaired.
Torn or frayed safety belts may not protect you in a
crash. They can rip apart under impact forces. If a belt
is torn or frayed, get a new one right away.
Also look for any opened or broken air bag covers, and
have them repaired or replaced. (The air bag system
does not need regular maintenance.)
