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.
