Electronic active headrest
The electronic active headrest is
designed to trigger the headrest for-
ward and upward when impact sen-
sor detects a rear impact. This helps
to prevent the driver's and front pas-
senger’s heads from moving back-
ward and thus helps minimize neck
injuries.
Seat warmer (if equipped)
The seat warmer is provided to warm
the front seats during cold weather.
While the engine is running, push
either of the switches to warm the
driver's seat or the front passenger's
seat.
During mild weather or under condi-
tions where the operation of the seat
warmer is not needed, keep the
switches in the OFF position.
• Each time you push the switch, the
temperature setting of the seat
changes as follows :• When pressing the switch for more
than 1.5 seconds with the seat
warmer operating, the seat warmer
will turn OFF.
• The seat warmer defaults to the
OFF position whenever the engine
start/stop button is turned to the
ON position.
✽NOTICE
With the seat warmer switch in the
ON position, the heating system in
the seat turns off or on automatically
depending on the seat temperature.OBH038069
CAUTION
The active headrest is a safety
device to reduce injuries from a
rear impact. Do not hit or pull
the headrest intentionally.

not use an organic solvent
such as thinner, benzene,
alcohol and gasoline. Doing

seat warmer, do not place any-
thing on the seats that insu-
lates against heat, such as
blankets, cushions or seat
covers while the seat warmer

warm and to turn the seat
warmer off. The seat warmer
may cause burns even at low
temperatures, especially if used
for long periods of time.
