UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 129 Heated Seats - If Equipped On some models, the front and rear seats may be equipped with heaters in both the seat cushions and seatbacks. CAUTION! Repeated overheating of the seat could damage the heating element and/or degrade the material of the seat. Vehicles Equipped with Remote Start On models that are equipped with remote start, the driver's heated seat can be programmed to come on during a remote start. Refer to "Remote Starting System - If Equipped" in "Things To Know Before Starting Your Vehicle" for further information. Front Heated Seats There are two heated seat switches that allow the driver and passenger to operate the seats independently. The controls for each heater are located near the bottom center of the instrument panel (below the climate controls). 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. Sitting in a seat that has been overheated could cause serious burns due to the increased surface temperature of the seat. 3
