•Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin
because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes,
spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-
tion or other physical condition must exercise care
when using the seat heater. It may cause burns
even at low temperatures, especially if used for
long periods of time.
•Do not place anything on the seat or seatback that
insulates against heat, such as a blanket or cushion.
This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting
in a seat that has been overheated could cause
serious burns due to the increased surface tempera-
ture of the seat.
Rear Seats
The split rear seat has the ability to fold flat which
increases the storage of the rear cargo area.

to position the front seat to its mid-track position. Be
sure that the front seats are fully upright and posi-
tioned forward, this will allow the rear seat to fold
down easily.
