If HIGH-level heating is selected, the system automati-
cally switches to LOW-level heating and turns one indi-
cator light OFF after a maximum of 60 minutes of
continuous operation. It will turn the heater and the
remaining indicator light OFF after an a maximum of
45 minutes of continuous operation. If LOW-level heating
is selected, the system automatically turns the heater and
the indicator light OFF after a maximum of 45 minutes of
continuous 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.
•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.
Manual Front Seat Adjustment
On models equipped with manual seats, the adjusting
bar is located at the front of the seats, near the floor.

Blower Control knob (on the left) to AUTO.
