Warning!
Adjusting a seat while driving may be
dangerous. Moving a seat while driving
could result in loss of control which could
cause a collision and serious injury or
death.
Seats should be adjusted before
fastening the seat belts and while the
vehicle is parked. Serious injury or death
could result from a poorly adjusted seat
belt.
Do not ride with the seatback reclined
so that the shoulder belt is no longer
resting against your chest. In a collision you
could slide under the seat belt, which could
result in serious injury or death.

Heated Seat Buttons

You can select three heating levels:
Minimum — one orange indicator
illuminated on the buttons
Average — two orange indicator
illuminated on the buttons
Maximum — three orange indicator
illuminated on the buttons
After selecting a heating level, heat will
be felt within a few minutes.
A quick push of the heated seat button
will select the heat levels in order of
lowest to highest. Or, holding the switch
down from either "off" or the minimum
level for 1–2 seconds will automatically
select the maximum heat level.
When the heated seat function is not
active, pushing and holding the desired
heated seat button for 1–2 seconds will
activate the "fast maximum heating"
function. The heater produces a
boosted heat level for the first few
minutes of operation. After this, the
heat automatically lowers to reach the
normal temperature level for the
"maximum" setting.
The "minimum" setting is automatically
deactivated once a certain period of
time has elapsed. This varies on a
case-by-case basis, in accordance with
the specific operating conditions.
To lower the heat level, each quick push
of the switch will decrease by one level
until it is off. Holding the switch down at
04066S0004EM
any of the three levels for 1-2 seconds
will deactivate the heated seat.
Note: To preserve the battery charge,
this function cannot be activated when
the engine is off.
Warning!
Persons who are unable to feel pain to
the skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion 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 insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion. This may cause
the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat
that has been overheated could cause
serious burns due to the increased surface
temperature of the seat.
