Warming the front seat (if equipped)

The front seats can be electrically heated
individually when the ignition switch is
ON.
When you depress the seat warmer
switch, a thermostat regulates seat tem-
perature. To deactivate the heating sys-
tem, depress the switch once again.

✽

✽ NOTICE

• The seat warmer may not operate if

ambient temperature is warm enough.

• If the seat warmer doesn't work when

the ambient temperature is below

24°C (75°F), have the system checked

by an authorized dealer.

• When cleaning the seats, do not use an

organic solvent such as thinner, ben-

zene, alcohol and gasoline. Doing so

may damage the surface of the heater

or seats.

• To prevent overheating the seat

warmer, do not place blankets, cush-

ions or seat covers on the seats while

the seat warmer is in operation.

• Do not place heavy or sharp objects

on seats equipped with seat warmers.

Damage to the seat warming compo-

nents could occur.
