Warning!Adjusting a seat while driving may be
dangerous. Moving a seat while driving
could result in loss of control which could
cause a collision and serious injury or
death.
Seats should be adjusted before
fastening the seat belts and while the
vehicle is parked. Serious injury or death
could result from a poorly adjusted seat
belt.
Do not ride with the seatback reclined
so that the shoulder belt is no longer
resting against your chest. In a collision you
could slide under the seat belt, which could
result in serious injury or death.
Heated Seats
On some models, the front driver and
passenger seats may be equipped with
heaters in both the seat cushions and
seatbacks. The controls for the front
heated seats are located on the center
instrument panel below the climate
controls.
The heated seats have three settings:
High, Medium, and Low. Push the
switch once to turn the heated seats on
High, twice for Medium, and three times for Low. Pushing the switch a fourth
time will turn the heated seat off.
Note:
If the ignition is switched OFF while
the seat warmer is operating (High,
Mid or Low), and then switched ON
again, the seat warmer will
automatically operate at the
temperature set before switching the
ignition OFF.
Use the seat warmer when the
engine is running. Leaving the seat
warmer on for long periods with the
engine not running could discharge the
battery.
The temperature of the seat warmer
cannot be adjusted beyond High, Mid
and Low.
Once a heat setting is selected,
heat will be felt within two to five
minutes.03010202-12A-003AB
