WARNING!

CAUTION!

•

Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin

because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes,

spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, ex-

haustion or other physical condition must exercise

care when using the seat heater. It may cause burns

even at low temperatures, especially if used for

long periods of time.

Repeated overheating of the seat could damage the

heating element and/or degrade the material of the

seat.

Easy Access Seating Second Row — If Equipped

The second row seats can be tilted forward for easy

access to the third row seat or rear cargo area.

Do not place anything on the seat that insulates

against heat, such as a blanket or cushion. This

may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a

seat that has been overheated could cause serious

burns due to the increased surface temperature of

the seat.

To tilt the seat, pull forward on the release lever located

on the base of the seat and tilt the seat fully forward.

To return the seat to its upright position, push rearward

on the seatback until it latches. Always ensure that it is

fully latched.
