114 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE Heated Seats - If Equipped • Pressing the switch once will select HIGHlevel heating. • Pressing the switch a second time will select LOW-level heating. • Pressing the switch a third time will shut the heating elements OFF. When HIGH-level heating is selected, the heaters provide a boosted heat level during the first four minutes of operation after heating is activated. The heat output then drops to the normal HIGH-level. If HIGH-level heating is selected, the system will automatically switch to LOWlevel heating after about 30 minutes of continuous operation. At that time, the number of illuminated LEDs changes from two to one, indicating the change. Operation on LOW-level heating also turns off automatically after about 30 minutes. WARNING! Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion 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. 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. This feature heats the front driver's and passenger's seats. The heated seat switches are located on the instrument panel, below the radio. After turning on the ignition, you may choose OFF, HIGH, or LOW heat settings. An indicator on the switch shows which setting has been chosen.
