✽ ✽NOTICE• The seat warmer will not operate
if ambient temperature is above
37±3°C (98.5±5.5°F).
• If the seat warmer doesn't work when the ambient temperature is
below 28±3.5°C (82.5±5.5°F), have
the system checked by an autho-
rized dealer.✽ ✽ NOTICE• When cleaning the seats, do not
use an organic solvent such as
thinner, benzene, alcohol and
gasoline. Doing so may damage
the surface of the heater or seats.
• To prevent overheating the seat warmer, do not place blankets,
cushions 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 components could occur.
Front headrest adjustmentAdjusting the height up and down
The headrest not only provides com-
fort 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 (
➀). To lower the
headrest, push and hold the release
button (
➁) on the headrest support
and lower the headrest to the desired
position (➂). 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.
