Seat Heaters
If the ignition switch is in ON
II
. The HI
setting heats the seats faster than the LO
setting.
There is no heater in the passenger's seat-
back due to the side airbag cutoff system.
Seat Heaters
Do not use the seat heaters even in LO when the
engine is off. Under such conditions, the battery
may be weakened, making the engine difficult to
start.
In the LO setting, the heater runs continuously and
does not automatically turn off after a period of
time.
WARNING
Heat induced burns are possible when
using seat heaters.
Persons with a diminished ability to sense
temperature (e.g., persons with diabetes,
lower-limb nerve damage, or paralysis)
or with sensitive skin should not use seat
heaters.
While in HI, the heater cycles on and off. The appropriate indicator will be on while
the seat heater is on. Briefly press the
button on the opposite side to turn the
heater off. The indicator will be off.
When a comfortable temperature is
reached, select LO to keep the seat warm.
