Your vehicle has seat
belts and other safety
features that help protect you and your pas- sengers in an accident.Seat belts are the most important safety device. When worn properly, seat belts can reduce the chance of serious injury or deathin various types of crashes. For added protec- tion during a severe fr
ontal collision, your
vehicle has a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) with airbags for the driver and passen- gers. The seats, head restraints, and doorlocks also are safety equipment, which must be used correctly. Always check the following before you drive: That everyone in your vehicle is properly wearing their seat belt. That infants and small children are prop- erly secured in an appropriate child restraint system in the rear seat. That all doors are fully closed and locked.  That seatbacks are upright, with head restraints properly adjusted.
Safety equipment cannot prevent injury or death in all motor ve
hicle accidents. How-
ever, you can help reduce the risk of injury or death, by following the instructions in thismanual.

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 burns when using the heated seat even at lowtemperatures.

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. S
light variations in the
seat temperature may be
felt while using the
heated 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
