✽NOTICE• When cleaning the seats, do not use an
organic solvent such as thinner, ben-
zene, alcohol or gasoline. Doing so
may damage the surface of the heater
or seats.
• To prevent overheating the seat warmer, do not place blankets, cush-
ions or seat covers on the seats while
the seat warmer is in operation.
• Do not place heavy or sharp objects on seats equipped with seat warmers.
Damage to the seat warming compo-
nents could occur.
Headrest adjustmentAdjusting the height up and down
The headrest not only provides comfort
for the driver and passengers, but also
helps to protect the head and neck in the
event of a collision.
To raise the headrest, pull it up to the
desired position (1). To lower the head-
rest, push and hold the release button (2)
on the headrest support and lower the
headrest to the desired position (3). For
best protection, adjust the headrest so its
center is as high as your ears. Also
adjust the headrest so its distance from
the head is as wide as your fist.
