from HI to LO, indicating the change. The LO-level setting
will turn OFF automatically after approximately 45 min-
utes.
NOTE:
• Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be felt within
two to five minutes. •
The engine must be running for the heated seats to

further information.
WARNING!
• 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
