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 become warm, 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 the heated seats. This is caused by the operationof the heater’s internal thermostat and does not indicate
a malfunction.
Do not place heavy objects 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, gasoli
ne, alcohol, or other organic
solvents; doing so can cause damage not only to the surface of the seat, but also to theheater.

Tips for starting

WA R N I N G Never run the engine in
a closed or poorly
ventilated area any longer than is neededto move your vehicle
out of the area. Car-
bon monoxide gas, wh
ich is odorless and
extremely poisonous, could build up and cause serious injury or death.CAUTION Do not push-start the vehicle.Do not run the engine at high rpms or drive at high speeds until
the engine has had a
chance to warm up.
Starting the engine

NOTE
 After the engine has not started for a while, the brake pedal effort needed to start theengine may become grea
ter. If this occurs,
depress the brake pedal more firmly than usual.NOTE
 For vehicles equipped with a manual trans- axle, the engine will
not start unless the
clutch pedal is fully depressed (Clutch inter- lock). This is a safety feature.

nuously variable trans-
mission (CVT) vehicles with an ambient temperature of -4 °F (-20 °C) or lower
When the ambient temperature is -4 °F (-20 °C) or lower, it may not be possible to startfrom a standstill even with the selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) or “R” (REVERSE) position.This phenomenon occurs
because the trans-
axle has not warmed up sufficiently; it does not indicate a problem.
If this occurs, place
the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position and let the engine idle
for at least 10 minutes.
