If the power mode is in ON:
Seat heater - The HI setting heats the seats
faster than the LO setting.
There is no heater in the passenger’s seatback
due to the side airbag cutoff system.
Seat ventilation - The HI setting ventilates
the seats faster than the LO setting.
Press the seat heater or the seat ventilation
button:
Once - The HI setting (three indicators on)
Twice - The MID setting (two indicators on)
Three times - The LO setting
Four times - The OFF setting (no indicators on)
When a comfortable temperature is reached
while using the seat heaters in HI, select MID
or LO to keep the seat warm.
■Front Seat Heaters and Seat Ventilation
1Front Seat Heaters and Seat Ventilation
Do not use the seat heaters and the seat ventilation
even in LO when the engine is OFF. Under such
conditions, the battery may be weakened, making
the engine difficult to start.

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.
