Front Seat Heater (if equipped)
With the ignition switch in the “ON” position, push in one or both of the seat heater switches to warm the corresponding seat(s). The indicator light below the switch will also come on. To turn off the seat heater, push in the switch again. The indicator light below the switch will go off.

WARNING:
Improperly using the seat heater can
be hazardous. An occupant can suffer
burns even if the heating temperature
is fairly low, if the occupant is
wearing thin pants, a thin skirt or
shorts and leaves the heater on for
long periods.
Avoid using the seat heater for these
occupants:
• People who have reduced feeling in
their legs, including the elderly or
those with certain disabilities.
• Small children, or anyone with sensitive skin.
• People who are asleep or under the influence of alcohol or other drugs which make them tired.
CAUTION:
To avoid damaging the heater element:
• Do not subject the front seats to
heavy impacts, such as children
jumping on them.
• Do not cover the seat with any insulating materials such as blankets or cushions.
