heater is operated while the engine is
not running.
O Do not use the seat heater for extended
periods or when no one is using the seat.
O Do not put anything on the seat which in-
sulates heat, such as a blanket, cushion,
seat cover, etc. Otherwise, the seat may
become overheated.
O 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

CAUTIONWhen turning the vehicle in SNOW mode on
paved roads, you may feel a braking effect.
This is a normal condition of the AWD model.
The vehicle should be driven with the Ve-
hicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system on for
most driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the
VDC system reduces the engine output to
reduce wheel spin. The engine speed will
be reduced even if the accelerator is de-
pressed to the floor. If maximum engine
power is needed to free a stuck vehicle,
turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) system, push the VDC OFF switch (lo-
cated on the lower side of the instrument
panel). The indicator will come on. Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart
the engine to turn on the system. See
ªVehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) systemº
in the ª5. Starting and drivingº section.
