Warming the front seats
(if equipped)
The front seats can be electrically
heated individually when the ignition
switch is ON. When you depress the
seat warmer switch, a thermostat
regulates seat temperature. To deac-
tivate the heating system, depress
the switch once again.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• The seat warmer will not operate
if ambient temperature is above
37±3°C (98.5±5.5°F).
• If the seat warmer doesn't work
when the ambient temperature is
below 28±3.5°C (82.5±5.5°F), have
the system checked by an autho-
rized dealer.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• When cleaning the seats, do not
use an organic solvent such as
thinner, benzene, alcohol and
gasoline. Doing so may damage
the surface of the heater or seats.
• To prevent overheating the seat
warmer, do not place blankets,
cushions or seat covers on the
seats while the seat warmer is in
operation.
• Do not place heavy or sharp
objects on seats equipped with
seat warmers. Damage to the seat
warming components could occur.
