Heated seat (if so equipped) 1 (HI) - Heater high (for quick heating)2 - Heater off3 (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 phys
ical conditions or
who have sensitive skin may suffer burnswhen using the heated seat even at low temperatures. To reduce the risk of burns, people with such conditions must use carewhen using the heated seat.
CAUTION Switch off the heated seats when not in use. Operate the heaters at the “HI” position forquick heating. After the seat has becomewarm, set the heater switch to the “LO” posi- tion to keep it warm. Sl
ight 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 obj
ects 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, alc
ohol, 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 a
ppears to be malfunc-
tioning during use.

To adjust the seatbacks
NOTE
 You can adjust the seat
back forward or back-
ward on either side separately.WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death in the event of
an accident or sud-
den stop, all seatbacks should be kept in the upright position while the vehicle is in motion. Seat belt performance during an accident can be adversely affect
ed if the seatbacks
are reclined. The more a seatback is reclined, the more likely seat belt perfor- mance will be advers
ely affected. If the
seat belt is not proper
ly positioned against
the body during an accident, there is increased risk you will slide under the beltand receive serious
injury or death.
When a person is si
tting in the middle
seating position of the second row seats, the two sides of the second seats must have the same forward/backward position(vehicles with second row seat slide func- tion) and the same seatback angle.

To reduce the risk of injury in an accident, adjust the head restraint height so that thecenter of the restraint is at your ear level when seated. Any person too tall for the restraint to reach their ear level when seatedshould raise the restrain
t to the highest locked
position.  To raise the restraint,
pull it straight up.
 To lower the restraint, push down on it while pressing the lock knob (A) in the direction shown by the arrow. After adjusting the height, push down on the restraint to make sure it is locked in position.
WA R N I N G Driving without the head restraints in place can cause you and your passengersserious injury or deat
h in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident, always make sure the head restraints are installed and properly positioned whenthe seat is occupied. In order to minimize
the risk of a neck
injury due to a rear impact, the seatback must be adjusted to the upright position and the head restraint must be adjusted tothe proper position
before vehicle opera-
tion. The driver shou
ld never adjust the
seat while the vehicle is in motion. Never place a cushion
or similar device on
the seatback. This can adversely affecthead restraint performance by increasing the distance between your head and the restraint.
 When a person sits in the second center seating position, pull
up the head restraint
to a height at which it locks in position. Besure to make this adjustment before start- ing to drive. Serious injuries could other- wise be suffered in the result of an impact.NOTE
