Heated seats

The heated seats will only function when the engine is running.

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.

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

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.
