Seat heater (if equipped)
The seat heater operates when the igni-
tion switch is either in the “ACC” or “ON”
position.
Each seat heater has four levels of adjust-
ment. To use the heater in the right-hand
seat, turn the “R” adjustment knob forward
until the “ ” mark reaches the desired
position. To activate the heater in the left-
hand seat, turn the “L” adjustment knob
forward until the “ ” mark reaches the
desired position. Each heater warms the
seat most quickly with the “ ” mark on
the adjustment knob in the furthest-for-
ward position. An indicator light on the ad-
justment knob for each seat heater comes
on when that seat heater is activated.
When the vehicle’s interior is warmed
enough or before you leave the vehicle,
be sure to turn the switch off.
NOTE
Use of the seat heater for a long period
of time while the engine is not running
can cause battery discharge.

y There is a possibility that people
with delicate skin may suffer
slight burns even at low tempera-
tures if they use the seat heater
for a long period of time. When us-
ing the heater, always be sure to
warn the persons concerned.
y Do not put anything on the seat
which insulates against heat,
such as a blanket, cushion, or
similar items. This may cause the
seat heater to overheat.
Seatbelts provide maximum re-
straint when the occupant sits well
back and upright in the seat. Do not
put cushions or any other materials
between occupants and seatbacks
or seat cushions. If you do so, the
risk of sliding under the lap belt and
of the lap belt sliding up over the ab-
domen will increase, and both can
result in serious internal injury or
death.
