intelligent access key fob if it is linked to
a preset position.

handle if a linked key fob is present.

Persons who are unable to feel pain to
the skin because of advanced age,
chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord

heater may cause burns even at low
temperatures, especially if used for long
periods of time. Do not place anything on the
seat that insulates against heat, such as a
blanket or cushion, because this may cause
the seat heater to overheat. Do not puncture
the seat with pins, needles, or other pointed
objects because this may damage the
heating element which may cause the seat
heater to overheat. An overheated seat may
cause serious personal injury. Note:
Do not do the following:
• Place heavy objects on the seat.
• Operate the seat heater if water or any
other liquid is spilled on the seat. Allow
the seat to dry thoroughly. The heated seats will only function when the
engine is running.

forward and to the full up positions to ease
access. To remove an air filter:
1. Turn the vehicle off.
