Push the switch to either “HI” or “LO” to turn on the heating element in
the seat.
- .- Designed primarily for use on damp and chilly days, the “LO” setting
warms the seatback and cushion until the seat approximates body
temperature. On colder days, the
“HI” setting heats the seats to an even
__ higher temperature. To prevent uncomfortable overheating of the seats,
the heating elements are thermostatically regulated to automatically
maintain the temperature at the setting selected. A telltale light on the
control switch reminds you that the heating system is in use.
To preserve
the battery, the heated seats can only be used when the ignition is turned
on, and is deactivated when the ignition is turned off.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine SAFLlTYBELTS: THEY’RE FOR EVERYONE
This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts properly. It also
tells you some things you should not
do with safety belts.
And it explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint, or “air
bag”
system.
A CAUTION:
Don’t let anyone ride where they can’t wear a safety belt
properly.
If you are in a crash and you’re not wearing a safety
belt, your injuries can be much worse.
You can hit things inside
the vehicle or be ejected from it.
You can be seriously injured or
killed. In the same crash, you might not be if you are buckled
up. Always fasten your safety belt, and check that your
passengers’ belts are fastened properly too.

This figure lights up when you turn the key to “Run” or “Start” when
your safety belt isn’t buckled, and you’ll hear a chime, too. It’s the
reminder to buckle up.
In many states and Canadian provinces, the law says to wear safety belts.
Here’s why: They work.
You never know if you’ll be in a crash. If you do have a crash, you don’t
know if it will be a bad one.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine A few crashes are very mild. In them, you won't get hurt even if you're
not buckled up. And some crashes can be
so serious, like being hit by a
train, that even buckled up
a person wouldn't survive. But most crashes
are in between.
In many of them, people who buckle up can survive and
-
- sometimes walk away. Without belts they could be badly hurt or killed.

With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does.
You get more time
to stop. You stop over more distance, and your strongest bones take the
forces. That's why safety belts make such good sense. -

your chance of being conscious during and after an accident,
so you

vehicles today andwill be in more of them in the future. But they are
supplemental systems only
-- so they work with safety belts, not
instead of them.
Every “air bag” system ever offered for sale has
required the use of safety belts. Even if you’re in a vehicle that has
“
air bags,” you still have to buckle up to get the most protection.
That’s true not only in frontal collisions, but especially in side and
other collisions.
Q: IfI’m a good driver, and I never drive far from home, why should I wear
A: You may be an excellent driver, but if you’re in an accident -- even
one that isn’t your fault
-- you and your passengers can be hurt.
Being a good driver doesn’t protect you from things beyond your
control, such as bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within
25 miles (40 km) of home. And the
greatest number of serious injuries and deaths occur at speeds of less
than
40 mph (65 kmih).

are for everyone.
