Heated Seats Ð If Equipped
WARNING!
Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin
because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes,
spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-
tion or other physical condition must exercise care
when using the seat heater. It may cause burns even
at low temperatures, especially if used for long
periods of time. Do not place anything on the seat
that insulates against heat, such as a blanket or
cushion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat.
This feature heats the front driver's and passenger's
seats. The control for the heater is located on the instru-
ment panel, below the radio. After turning on the igni-
tion, you may choose OFF, HIGH, or LOW heat settings.
An indicator on the switch shows which setting has been
chosen.
Pressing the switch once will select high-level
heating. Pressing the switch a second time will
select low-level heating. Pressing the switch a
third time will shut the heating elements off.

When high-temperature heating is selected, the heaters
provide a boosted heat level during the first four minutes
of operation after heating is activated. The heat output
then drops to the normal high-temperature level. If
high-level heating is selected, the system will automati-
cally switch to the low level after about 30 minutes of
continuous operation. At that time, the number of illu-
minated LEDs changes from two to one, indicating the
change. Operation on the low setting also turns off
automatically after about 30 minutes of continuous op-
eration.
NOTE:Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be felt
within 2 to 3 minutes.Folding Rear Seat (Sedan)
