similar object. This may result in
damage to the heater.
Any liquid spilled on the heated seat
should be removed immediately with
a dry cloth.
When cleaning the seat, never use
gasoline, thinner, or any similar ma-
terials.
If any abnormalities are found or the

For driving or starting the vehicle on snowy
roads or slippery areas, push the SNOW mode
switch and indicator light

on the switch will
illuminate. When the SNOW mode is activated,
engine output is controlled to avoid wheel spin.The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle
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 depressed to the floor.
If maximum engine power is needed to free a
stuck vehicle, turn the VDC system off.
To cancel the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
System, push the VDC OFF switch. The
indicator light will come on.
Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart the
engine to turn ON the system. See “Vehicle
