NOTE●Do not place heavy objects on the seat or stick pins, nee-
dles, or other pointed objects into it.

the seat is warm, set the heater to low to keep it
warm. Slight variations in seat temperature may be
felt while using the heated seats. This is caused by
the operation of the heater’s internal thermostat and
does not indicate a malfunction.

they might become too hot or receive minor burns
(red skin, heat blisters, etc.):
• Children, elderly or ill people

• Excessively tired people
• People under the influence of alcohol or sleep
inducing medication (cold medicine, etc.)
●Do not use a blanket, cushion, or other material with
high heat insulation properties on the seat while
using the heater; this might cause the heater element
to overheat.●Turn the heater off immediately if it appears to be
malfunctioning during use.
