Rear Side Heated Seats
(optional)
The side rear seats can be equipped with
heaters both in seat cushion and
seatback.
Rear seats heating can be adjusted by
operating control devices on the
control panel located on the rear of
the central console. The panel also
includes controls for the rear window
sunshade (see "Rear Windows" in
section 2).
WARNING!
• Persons with low skin sensitivity
because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion or
other physical conditions must be
careful 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 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.
The buttons on the control panel with
the resistance icon activate the heating
on one or both seats.
• Push the button once to select the
highest heating level. The upper LED
located on the side of the icon will
illuminate.
• Push the same button a second time
to select the lowest level. The lower
LED will illuminate.
• Push the same button a third time to
shut the heating elements OFF. The
LED will turn off.
NOTE:
• Once a heat setting is selected, heat
will be felt within two to five
minutes.
• The engine must be running for the
heated seats to operate.
