they are not in use by passengers. Refer to “50/50 Split

without having the head restraint unfolded and
locked in place. Failure to follow this warning may
result in personal injury to the passenger in the event
of an accident.
Heated Seats — If Equipped
The driver and front passenger seats are heated. The
heaters provide the same heat level for both cushion and
seatback. The controls for each heater are located in the
switch bank in the center of the instrument panel.
After turning ON the ignition, you can choose from High,
Low, or Off heat settings. Amber indicator lights in each
switch indicate the level of heat in use. Two indicator
lights will illuminate for high, one for low, and none for
off.Press the switch once to select High-level heat-
ing. Press the switch a second time to select
Low-level heating. Press the switch a third time
to shut the heating elements Off.

switches to Low-level heating and turns one indicator
light off after approximately 30 minutes of continuous
operation. It will turn the heater and the remaining
108 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

indicator light off after an additional 30 minutes of
continuous operation. If Low-level heating is selected,
the system automatically turns the heater and the indi-
cator light off after approximately 30 minutes of continu-
ous operation.
NOTE:Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be felt
within two to five minutes.
WARNING!
•Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin
because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes,
spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, ex-
haustion 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.
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
•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. Sitting in a
seat that has been overheated could cause serious
burns due to the increased surface temperature of
the seat.
CAUTION!
Repeated overheating of the seat could damage the
heating element and/or degrade the material of the
seat.
60/40 Split Second-Row Passenger Seats
To provide additional storage area, each second-row
passenger seat can be folded flat. This allows for ex-
tended cargo space and still maintains some seating room
if needed.

inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people
riding in these areas are more likely to be seri-
ously injured or killed.

vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat
belts.
•Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and
using a seat belt properly.
