control or intelligent access key is in range,
the memory function moves to the settings
of the first key to initiate a memory recall.

feature, it automatically moves the driver
seat position rearward up to 2 in (5 cm)

must exercise care 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 insulates against
heat, such as a blanket or cushion. This
may cause the heated seat to overheat.
Do not puncture the seat with pins, needles
or other pointed objects. This may damage
the heating element which may cause the
heated seat to overheat. An overheated
seat may cause serious personal injury.

•

Place heavy objects on the seat.

•

Operate the heated seat if water or any
