CAUTION
 


¾ When operating a seat, be careful not to put your hands or fi ngers near the moving parts of
the seat or on the side trim to prevent injury.
 


¾ When moving the seats, make sure there is no cargo in the surrounding area. If the cargo
gets caught it could damage the cargo.
 


¾ (Manual Seat) 
 When moving the seats forward and rearward or returning a rear-reclined seatback to its
upright position, make sure you hold onto the seatback with your hand while operating. If
the seatback is not held, the seat will move suddenly and could cause injury.

NOTE
 


y When returning a rear seat to its original position, place the seat belt in its normal
position. Verify that the seat belt pulls out and retracts.
 




y (Power Seat) 
 The seat-bottom power adjustment is operated by motors. Avoid extended operation
because excessive use can damage the motors.
 

y To prevent the battery from running down, avoid using the power adjustment when the
engine is stopped. The adjuster uses a large amount of electrical power.
 

y Do not use the switch to make more than one adjustment at a time.

WARNING
Be careful when using the seat warmer:
The heat from the seat warmer may be

people, and physically challenged
people
 


¾ People with delicate skin



¾ People who are excessively fatigued



¾ People who are intoxicated



¾ People who have taken sleep-
inducing medicine such as sleeping
pills or cold medicine
Do not use the seat warmer with
anything having high moisture-
retention ability such as a blanket or
cushion on the seat:
The seat may be heated excessively
and cause a low-temperature burn.

Do not use the seat warmer even when
taking a short nap in the vehicle:
The seat may be heated excessively
and cause a low-temperature burn.

Do not place heavy objects with sharp
projections on the seat, or insert
needles or pins into it:
This could cause the seat to become
excessively heated and result in injury
from a minor burn.

CAUTION

the seat. It may damage the seat
surface and the heater.

N O T E
 


y If the ignition is switched off while the
seat warmer is operating (High, Mid or

seat warmer will automatically operate
at the temperature set before switching
off the ignition.
 


y Use the seat warmer when the engine
is running. Leaving the seat warmer
on for long periods with the engine not
running could cause the battery power
to be depleted.
 


y The temperature of the seat warmer
cannot be adjusted beyond High, Mid
and Low because the seat warmer is
controlled by a thermostat.
