The front seats are electrically heated. The ignition must be switched ON.
Press the seat warmer switch to illuminate the indicator light while the ignition is switched ON. The mode changes as follows each time the seat warmer switch is pressed.

WARNING Be careful when using the seat warmer: The heat from the seat warmer may be too hot for some people, as indicated below, and could cause a lowtemperature burn.
- Infants, small babies, elderly people, and physically challenged people
- People with delicate skin
- People who are excessively fatigued
- People who are intoxicated
- People who have taken sleepinducing medicine such as sleeping pills or cold medicine
Do not place heavy objects with sharp projections on the seat, or insert needles or pins into it: This could cause the seat to become excessively heated and result in injury from a minor burn.
CAUTION Do not use organic solvents to clean the seat. It may damage the seat surface and the heater.NOTE
- If the ignition is switched off while the seat warmer is operating (High, Mid or Low) and then switched ON again, the seat warmer will automatically operate at the temperature set before switching off the ignition.
- Use the seat warmer when the engine is running. Leaving the seat warmer on for long periods with the engine not running could cause the battery power to be depleted.
- The temperature of the seat warmer cannot be adjusted beyond High, Mid and Low because the seat warmer is controlled by a thermostat.
