Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Heated seats*E00401100625
The heated seats can be operated with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position.
1- Heater high (for quick heating).
2- Heater off.
3- Heater low (to keep the seat warm).
The indication lamp (A) will illuminate while the
heater is on.
CAUTIONl Operate in the high position for quick heat-
ing. Once the seat is warm, set the heater
to low to keep it warm. Slight variations
in seat temperature may be felt while us-
ing the heated seats. This is caused by the
operation of the heater’s internal thermo-
stat and does not indicate a malfunction.
l If the following types of persons use the
heated seats, they might become too hot
or receive minor burns (red skin, heat blis-
ters, etc.):CAUTION• Children, elderly or ill people
• People with sensitive skin
• Excessively tired people
• People under the influence of alcohol
or sleep inducing medication (cold
medicine, etc.)
l Do not use a blanket, cushion, or other ma-
terial with high heat insulation properties
on the seat while using the heater; this
might cause the heater element to over-
heat.
l Turn the heater off immediately if it ap-
pears to be malfunctioning during use.
NOTE
l Do not place heavy objects on the seat or
stick pins, needles, or other pointed objects
into it.
l When cleaning the seat, do not use benzine,
kerosene, petrol, alcohol, or other organic sol-
vents; these might damage the surface of the
seat and also the heater element.
l If water or any other liquid is spilled on the
seat, allow it to dry thoroughly before attempt-
ing to use the heater.
Head restraints E00403301181WARNINGlDriving without the head restraints in
place can cause you and your passengers
serious injury or death in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident, al-
ways make sure the head restraints are in-
stalled and properly positioned when the
seat is occupied.
l Never place a cushion or similar device
on the seatback. This can adversely affect
head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the
restraint.
l When a person sits in the seating position
of the rear seats, pull up the head re-
straint to a height at which it locks in po-
sition. Be sure to make this adjustment be-
fore starting to drive. Serious injuries
could otherwise be suffered in the result
of an impact.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To adjust height
Adjust the head restraint height so that the centre
of the restraint is as close as possible to eye level to
reduce the chances of injury in the event of colli-
sion. Any person too tall for the restraint to reach
their seated eye level, should adjust the restraint as
high as possible.
To raise the head restraint, move it upward. To low-
er the restraint, move it downward while pushing
the height adjusting knob (A) in the direction of the
arrow. After adjustment, push the head restraint
downward and make sure that it is locked.To remove
Lift the head restraint with the height adjusting
knob (A) pushed in.
To install
Confirm that the head restraint is facing the correct
direction, and then insert it into the seatback while
pressing the height adjusting knob (A) in the direc-
tion indicated by the arrow.
CAUTIONl Confirm that the height adjusting knob
(A) is correctly adjusted as shown in the
illustration, and also lift the head re-
straints to ensure that they do not come
out of the seatback.CAUTIONl The head restraints for the front and rear
seats differ in size. When installing head
restraints, make sure the front and rear
head restraints are fitted in their respec-
tive seats.
Failure to do so could cause serious in-
jury if involved in an accident.
