heated front seats. The
buttons used to control this
feature are located on the
front doors. The engine
must be running for the
heated seat feature
to work.
To heat the entire seat, press the horizontal button with
the heated seat symbol. Press the button to cycle
through the temperature settings of high, medium and
low and to turn the heated seat off. Indicator lights
will glow to designate the level of heat selected,
three for high, two for medium, and one for low.The low setting warms the seatback and cushion until
the seat temperature is near body temperature. The
medium and high settings heat the seatback and seat
cushion to a slightly higher temperature. You will be able
to feel heat in about two minutes.
To heat only the seatback, press the vertical button with
the heated seatback symbol. An indicator light on the
seatback button will glow to designate that only the
seatback is being heated. Additional presses of
the seatback button will cycle through the heat levels for
the seatback only. Press the horizontal button again
to heat the whole seat.

the seat.

loop located at the rear
of the seat cushion
and pull the seat
cushion up and fold it
forward.
3. Pull the seatback forward and fold it down until it

If the seatback cannot fold at because it interferes with
the cushion, try moving the front seat forward and/or
bringing the front seatback more upright.
