Seat Heater (If Equipped) - Subaru 2001 Outback Owner's Manual

1-6
Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
To remove:
While pressing the release button, pull out
the head restraint.
To install:
Install the head restraint into the holes that
are located on the top of the seatback until
the head restraint locks.
WARNING
. Never drive the vehicle with the
head restraints removed because
they are designed to reduce the
risk of serious neck injury in the
event that the vehicle is struck
from the rear. Therefore, when
you remove the head restraints,
you must reinstall all head re-
straints to protect vehicle occu-
pants.
. All occupants, including the dri-
ver, should not operate a vehicle
or sit in a vehicle's seat until the
head restraints are placed in their
proper positions in order to mini-
mize the risk of neck injury in the
event of a collision.

Seat heater (if equipped)

HIGH – Rapid heating

The seat heater operates when the igni-
tion switch is either in the "Acc" or "ON"
position.
To turn on the seat heater, press the
"LOW" or "HIGH" position on the switch,
as desired, depending on the tempera-
ture.
Selecting the "HIGH" position will cause
the seat to heat up quicker.
To turn off the seat heater, slightly press
the opposite side of the current position.
The indicator located on the switch illumi-
nates when the seat heater is in operation.
When the vehicle's interior is warmed
enough or before you leave the vehicle,
be sure to turn the switch off.
CAUTION
. There is a possibility that people
with delicate skin may suffer
slight burns even at low tempera-
tures if they use the seat heater
for a long period of time. When
using the heater, always be sure
to warn the persons concerned.
