HEATED SEATS

(If Equipped)

WARNING

People who are unable to feel pain
to their skin because of advanced
age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal

cord injury, medication, alcohol use,
exhaustion or other physical conditions,
must use caution when using the heated
seat. The heated seat may cause burns
even at low temperatures, especially if
used for long periods of time. Do not place
anything on the seat that may block the
heat, such as a blanket or cushion. This can
cause the heated seat to overheat. Do not
puncture the seat with pins, needles or
other pointed objects. This damages the
heating element and can cause the heated
seat to overheat. An overheated seat may
cause serious personal injury.

Do not do the following:
•

Place heavy objects on the seat.

•

Operate the heated seat if water or any
other liquid spills on the seat. Allow the
seat to dry thoroughly.

Note:

You must switch the ignition on to

use this feature.
