3 (LO)- 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 the “HI” position for quick heating. After the seat has becomewarm, set the heater switch to the “LO” posi- tion to keep it warm. Slight variations in the seat temperature may be felt while using theheated seats. This is caused by the operation of the heater’s internal thermostat and does not indicate a malfunction. Do not place heavy objects on the seat or stick pins, needles, or other pointed objects into 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.

The seat belt pre-tensioner system includes the following components: The airbag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the system whenever
the 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 topeople with respiratory problems. The pre-tensioners activate in the event of moderate-to-severe frontal or side impact,even if the seat belt is not being worn. The seat belt pre-tensioners may not activate in certain types of collisions, even though thevehicle may appear to be severely damaged. Such non-activation does not mean some- thing is wrong with the seat belt pre-tensionersystem, but rather that the collision forces were not severe enough or not of the type to activate the system.

When transporting infants or small childrenin your vehicle, an appropriate child restraint system must always be used. This is requiredby law in the U.S. and Canada. Child restraint systems specifically designed for infants and small children are offered byseveral manufacturers. Choose only a child restraint system with a label certifying that it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandard 213 (FMVSS 213) or Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Seats Safety Regulations (RSSR). Look for the manufac-turer’s statement of compliance on the box and child restraint system itself.
