Heated/Ventilated Seats - RAM 1500 2012 User Manual

GETTING STARTED
• Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. The sudden
movement of the seat could cause you to lose control. The seat belt might not
be properly adjusted, and you could be severely injured or killed. Only adjust
a seat while the vehicle is parked.
• Actuating the recliner handle will allow the seatback to swing (dump) forward
on manual recliner seats. Do not stand or lean in front of the seat while
actuating the handle. The seatback may swing forward and hit you, causing
injury. This dump feature allows access to the storage bin behind the seat. To
avoid injury, place your hand on the seatback and actuate the handle, then
position the seatback in the desired position.
• Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the seat belt is no longer resting
against your chest. In a collision, you could slide under the seat belt and be
severely injured or killed. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.

Front Ventilated Seats
• Located in the seat cushion and seatback are small fans that draw the air from
the passenger compartment and blow air through fine perforations in the seat
cover to help keep the driver and front passenger cooler in higher ambient
temperatures.
• The ventilated seat switches are located in the switch bank in the center stack
of the instrument panel, just below the climate controls. The fans operate at
two speeds, HIGH and LOW. Press the switch once to select High speed.
Press the switch a second time to select Low speed. Press the switch a third
