HEATED AND COOLED SEATS (IF EQUIPPED)
Heated seats
WARNING: Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin
because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion, or other physical conditions, must
exercise care when using the seat heater. The seat heater 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, because this may cause the seat heater to overheat.
Do not puncture the seat with pins, needles, or other pointed objects
because this may damage the heating element which may cause the seat
heater to overheat. An overheated seat may cause serious personal injury.
The heated seats will only function when the engine is running.
Note: Do not do the following:
• Place heavy objects on the seat
• Operate the seat heater if water or any other liquid is spilled on the
seat. Allow the seat to dry thoroughly.
To operate the heated seats:
Press the heated seat symbol to cycle through the various
heat settings and off. Warmer settings are indicated by
more indicator lights.
If the engine falls below 350 RPM while the heated seats are on, the
feature will turn itself off and will need to be reactivated.
Cooled seats
The cooled seats will only function when the engine is running.
To operate the cooled seats:
Press the cooled seat symbol to cycle through the various
cooling settings and off. Cooler settings are indicated by
more indicator lights.
If the engine falls below 350 RPM while the cooled seats are on, the
feature will turn itself off and will need to be reactivated.
