OFF.
WARNING
The seat warmers can cause a SERIOUS

change or pain to the skin should
use extreme caution, especially the
following types of passengers:
• Infants, children, elderly or disabled
persons, or hospital outpatients.
• People with sensitive skin or who
burn easily.

blanket or seat cushion. This may cause
the seat warmer to overheat, causing a
burn or damage to the seat.
NOTICE

and seats:
• Never use a solvent such as paint
thinner, benzene, alcohol or gasoline
