HEATED SEATS (If Equipped)

WARNING

People who are unable to feel pain

to their 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 heated

seat. The heated seat 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. This

may cause the heated seat to overheat.

Do not puncture the seat with pins, needles

or other pointed objects. This may damage

the heating element which may cause the

heated seat to overheat. An overheated

seat may cause serious personal injury.

Do not do the following:

•

Place heavy objects on the seat.

Operate the heated seat if water or any

other liquid is spilled on the seat. Allow

the seat to dry thoroughly.

•

Operate the heated seats unless the

engine is running. Doing so can cause

the battery to lose charge.
