HEATED SEAT SWITCHES (if so
equipped)
NOTE:
The heated seats consume less power
than the heater and can be used to either
help extend vehicle range by reducing
heater use or to maximize comfort by
supplementing the heater.
WARNING
Do not use or allow occupants to use
the seat heater if you or the occupants
cannot monitor elevated seat tem-
peratures or have an inability to feel
pain in those body parts in contact with
the seat. Use of the seat heater by such
people could result in serious injury.

Front
Rear
The front seats and the rear outboard
seats (if so equipped) can be warmed by
built-in heaters. The switches, located on
the center console and at the side of the
front passenger seatback, can be operated
independently of each other.
3. To turn off the heater, return the switch
to the level position. Make sure the indi-
cator light goes off.
CAUTION
•
•
Do not use the seat heater for ex-
tended periods or when no one is us-
ing the seat.
The heater is controlled by a thermostat,
automatically turning the heater on and
off. The indicator light will remain on as long
as the switch is on.
1. Place the power switch in the ON
position.
Do not put anything on the seat
which insulates heat, such as a blan-
ket, cushion, seat cover, etc. Other-
wise, the seat may become
overheated.
When the vehicle’s interior is warmed, or
before you leave the vehicle, be sure to turn
the switch off.
2. Push the LO or HI position of the switch,
as desired, depending on the tempera-
ture. The indicator light in the switch will
illuminate.
