GETTING STARTED Heated Seats • The controls for the front heated seats are located on the center instrument panel area. • Press the switch once to select High-level heating. Press the switch a second time to select Low-level heating. Press the switch a third time to shut the heating elements Off. 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 conditions 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. Sitting in a seat that has been overheated could cause serious burns due to the increased surface temperature of the seat. CAUTION! Repeated overheating of the seat could damage the heating element and/or degrade the material of the seat. Fold-Flat Front Passenger Seat • The front passenger seat can be folded flat. Pull up on the recliner handle, to the full upward position, to fold down the seatback. 13
