Heated seats*
E00401101055
The
heated seats can be operated with the ignition
switch or the operation mode in ON. The indica-
tion lamp (A) will illuminate while the heater is on. 1 (HI) - Heater high (for quick heating).
2 - Heater off.
3 (LO) - Heater low (to keep the seat warm).
CAUTION
l
Switch off seat heaters when not in use.
l 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 CAUTION
or receive minor burns (red skin, heat blis-
ters, etc.):
•

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 place heavy objects on the seat or
stick pins, needles, or other pointed ob-
jects into it.
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 overheat
l Do not use benzine, kerosene, petrol, alco-
hol or other organic solvents when clean-
ing the seats. Doing so could damage not
only the seat cover, but also the heater el-
ement.
l If water or any other liquid is spilled on
the seat, allow it to dry thoroughly before
attempting to use the heater.
l Turn the heater off immediately if it ap-
pears to be malfunctioning during use. Rear seat

E00403301439 WARNING
l Driving

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.

the head restraint height so that the centre
of the head restraint is as close as possible to eye
level to reduce the chances of injury in the event of
collision. Any person too tall for the head restraint

straint 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
