The ignition switch must be in ON 
(w*1 to use 
the seat heaters. The HI setting heats the seats 
faster than the LO setting.
There is no heater in the passenger’s seat-
back due to the side airbag cutoff system.
While in HI, the heater cycles on and off.
uThe appropriate indicator will be on 
while the seat heater is on. Briefly press 
the switch on the opposite side to turn 
the heater off. The indicator will be off. 
When a comfortable temperature is 
reached, select LO to keep the seat 
warm.

ignition switch.■Seat Heaters

Do not use the seat heaters even in LO when the 
engine is off. Under such conditions, the battery may 
be weakened, making the engine difficult to start.
In the LO setting, the heater runs continuously and 
does not automatically turn off.

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.
