SEAT AND SEAT BELTS
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
the seat temperature may be felt
while using the heated seats.
This is caused by the operation
of the heater’s internal thermo-
stat and does not indicate a mal-
function.
(3) If the following types of persons
use the heated seats, they might
become too hot or receive minor
burns (red skin, heat blisters,
etc.):
• Children, elderly persons, ill
people
• People with sensitive skin
• Excessively tired people
• People under the influence of
alcohol or sleep inducing
medication (cold medicine,
etc.)
(4) Do not use a blanket, cushion,
or other material with high heat
insulation properties on the seat
while using the heater; this
might cause the heater element
to overheat.
(5) Turn the heater off immediately
if it appears to be malfunction-
ing during use.
NOTE
(1) Do not place heavy objects on the
seat or stick pins, needles, or other
pointed objects into it.
(2) When cleaning the seat, do not use
benzene, gasoline, alcohol, or other
organic solvents; this might damage
not only the surface of the seat, but
also the heater element.
(3) If water or any other liquid is spilled on
the seat, allow it to dry thoroughly
before attempting to use the heater.Seat beltsEG28AAPe
To protect you and your passengers in the
event of an accident, it is most important
that the seat belts are worn correctly when
you drive.
WARNING(1) Never wear the shoulder portion
of the seat belt under the arm or
other position which is incor-
rect.
(2) One seat belt should be used by
only one person. Doing other-
wise can be dangerous.
(3) The seat belt will provide its
wearer with maximum protec-
tion if the recliner seatback is
placed in fully upright position.
When the seatback is reclined,
there is greater risk that the pas-
senger will slide under the belt,
especially in a forward impact
accident, and may be injured by
the belt or by striking the instru-
ment panel or seatbacks.
