Seat Heating

■ Front Seat

■ Rear Seat
The seat warmers are designed to warm the front seats in cold weather. With the ignition switch in the ON position, press either the driver's or front passenger's seat warmer switch.
In mild weather, or when seat warming is not needed, keep the switches in the OFF position.
► Temperature Control (Manual)
Each time you press the switch, the seat temperature setting will change as follows:
■ Front Seat

■ Rear Seat

• The seat warmer defaults to the OFF position whenever the ignition switch is turned on.
► Temperature control (automatic)
The seat warmer starts to automatically control seat temperature to prevent low temperatures after it is manually turned on.

You can manually press the button to raise the seat temperature. However, it will soon return to automatic mode.
- If the switch is pressed for more than 1.5 seconds while the seat is at the warmest setting, the seat heater will turn off.
- The seat heater defaults to the OFF position whenever the Engine Start/Stop button is set to ON.
✽ NOTICE
With the seat warmer switch in the ON position, the heating system turns the seat on or off automatically depending on the seat temperature.
WARNING - Seat warmer burns
Seat warmers may cause burns even at low temperatures when used for a long time. Never allow passengers who cannot take care of themselves to be exposed to the risk of sitting on a warm seat. These include:
1. Infants, children, elderly or disabled persons, or outpatients
2. Persons with sensitive skin or those who burn easily
3. Tired persons
4. Persons under the influence of alcohol
5. Persons taking medication that may cause drowsiness (sleeping pills, cold tablets, etc.)
