HEATED SEATS VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC) OFF SWITCH CAUTION ● Do not use the seat heater for extended periods or when no one is using the seat. ● Do not put anything on the seat which insulates heat, such as a blanket, cushion, seat cover, etc. Otherwise, the seat may become overheated. ● Do not place anything hard or heavy on the seat or pierce it with a pin or similar object. This may result in damage to the heater. LIC0690 The front and 2nd row seats are warmed by built-in heaters. 1. Start the engine. 2. Push the (low) or (high) position of the switch, as desired, depending on the temperature. The indicator light in the switch will illuminate. 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. 3. When the seat is warmed or before you leave the vehicle, be sure to turn the switch off. ● Any liquid spilled on the heated seat should be removed immediately with a dry cloth. ● When cleaning the seat, never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, or any similar materials. ● If any abnormalities are found or the heated seat does not operate, turn the switch off and have the system checked by your INFINITI dealer. ● The battery could run down if the seat heater is operated while the engine is not running. WIC0534 The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system on for most driving conditions. If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the VDC system reduces the engine output to reduce wheel spin. The engine speed will be reduced even if the accelerator is depressed to the floor. If maximum engine power is needed to free a stuck vehicle, turn the VDC system off. To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC OFF switch. The indicator will come on. Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart the engine to turn ON the system. See "Vehicle dynamic control (VDC) system" in the "Starting and driving" section. Instruments and controls 2-31
