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 sk
in may suffer burns
when using the heated seat even at lowtemperatures. To reduce the risk of burns, people with such conditions must use care when using the heated seat.CAUTION Switch off the heated seats when not in use. Operate the heaters at the “HI” position for quick 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 usingthe 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 notonly to the surface of the seat, but also to the heater. If water or any other li
quid is spilled on the

appears to be malfunc-
tioning during use.

WA R N I N G To help reduce the risk of injury or death in an accident, se
at belts and child
restraint systems must always be used. Refer to “Child restraint systems” on page4-27 for additional information. Never use one seat belt
for more than one
person.  Never carry more peop
le in you
r vehicle
than there are seat belts.  Always adjust the seat
belt for a snug fit.
Always place the shou
lder belt over your
shoulder and across
your chest. Never put
it behind you or under your arm.  Always wear the lap be
lt as low as possible
across your hips, not around your waist.
 Never insert any foreig
n object, such as a
piece of plastic, paper clip, button or coin,into the seat belt buckle. Never modify or alter the seat belts in your vehicle. To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or death durin
g deployment of the
driver’s airbag, always
properly wear the
seat belt and adjust th
e driver’s seat as far
back as possible while maintaining a posi- tion that still enables
you to fully apply the
pedals, easily control the steering wheel, and safely operate the vehicle. To reduce the risk to a front seat passen- ger of serious injury or death from a deploying airbag, make sure the passengeralways wears the seat belt properly, remains seated all the way back and upright in their seat,
and moves the seat as
far back as possible. Refer to “Supplemen- tal Restraint System (SRS) - airbag” on page 4-34 for additional information.WA R N I N G

ar seat and be prop-
erly restrained. This reduces their risk of serious injury or de
ath in an accident,

cident, all seat belt
assemblies, including retractors andattachment hardware, should be inspected by an authorized
