objects could cause harm if the vehicle is in a
collision severe enough to cause the air bag to

indicating the change. Operation on the LOW-level set-
ting also turns OFF automatically after a maximum of 45

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, exhaus-

even at low temperatures, especially if used for
long periods of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat or seatback 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
