(if so equipped)
1- Heater high (for quick heating) 2- Heater off
3- Heater low (to keep the seat warm)
WA R N I N G Persons who are unable to feel tempera- ture change or skin pain due to age, ill- ness, injury, medication, alcohol use,fatigue or other physical conditions or who have sensitive skin may suffer burns when using the heated seat even at lowtemperatures. To reduce the risk of burns, people with such conditions must use care when using the heated seat.CAUTION Switch off the seat heaters when not in use. Operate the heaters at high for quick heating. After the seat has become warm, set theheater to low to keep it warm. Slight varia- tions in the seat temperature may be felt while using the heated seats. This is causedby the operation of the heater’s internal ther- mostat and does not indicate a malfunction. Do not place heavy objects on the seat or stick pins, needles, or other pointed objectsinto the seat. Do not place a blanket,
cushion, or other
insulating material on the seat while using the heater; doing so can cause the heater ele- ment to overheat.
 When cleaning the seat, do not use benzine, kerosene, gasoline, alcohol, or other organic solvents; doing so can cause damage not only to the surface of the seat, but also to the heater. If water or any other
liquid is spilled on the
seat, allow it to dry thoroughly beforeattempting to use the heater. Turn the heater off immediately if it appears to be malfunc- tioning during use.

NOTE
 With the exception of the seat belt for the driver, the seat belts in all other seating posi- tions are equipped with an Automatic Lock- ing Retractor (ALR) function. If you pull theseat belt fully out of the retractor, the retrac- tor will switch to its ALR child restraint installation function (see page 4-19).When the ALR function has been activated, the seat belt will only retract. If this happens, let the belt fully retract, then pull the seatbelt back out, repeating steps 1 through 4.
WA R N I N G Be sure the lap belt portion fits snugly and is worn as low as possible across the hips, not around the waist. Failure to follow this instruction will increase the risk of serious injury or death in the
event of an accident.
Be sure the seat belt webbing is not twisted when worn. Twisted webbing mayadversely affect seat belt performance.

The airbag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the system wheneverthe ignition switch is in the “ON” or“START” position. These include all of the items listed above and all related wiring. The pre-tensioner seat belt system will oper-ate only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position. When the seat belt pre-tensioners activate,some smoke is released and a loud noise will be heard. The smoke is not harmful, but care should be taken not to intentionally inhale it,as it may cause some temporary irritation to people with respiratory problems.
The pre-tensioners activate in the event of a moderate-to-severe frontal or side impact, even if the seat belt is not being worn. The seat belt pre-tensioners may not activate incertain types of collisions, even though the vehicle may appear to be severely damaged. Such non-activation does not mean some-thing is wrong with the seat belt pre-tensioner system, but rather that the collision forces were not severe enough or not of the type toactivate the system.

When transporting infants or small childrenin your vehicle, an appropriate child restraintsystem must always be used. This is required by law in the U.S. and Canada. Child restraint systems specifically designedfor infants and small children are offered by several manufacturers. Choose only a child restraint system with a label certifying that itcomplies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 (FMVSS 213) or Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster CushionsSafety Regulations (RSSR). Look for the manufacturer’s statement of compliance on the box and child restraint system itself. The child restraint system should be appropri- ate for your child’s weight and height, and should properly fit your vehicle’s seat. For detail information, refer to the instructionmanual accompanying the child restraint sys- tem.
