Warming the front seat (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 tem-
perature. To deactivate the heating sys-
tem, depress the switch once again.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• The seat warmer may not operate if
ambient temperature is warm enough.
• If the seat warmer doesn't work when
the ambient temperature is below
24°C (75°F), have the system checked
by an authorized dealer.
• When cleaning the seats, do not use an
organic solvent such as thinner, ben-
zene, alcohol and gasoline. Doing so
may damage the surface of the heater
or seats.
• To prevent overheating the seat
warmer, do not place blankets, cush-
ions 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 compo-
nents could occur.
