Seating and Safety Restraints Heated and cooled seats Heated seats 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. The seat heater 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, because this may cause the seat heater to overheat. Do not puncture the seat with pins, needles, or other pointed objects because this may damage the heating element which may cause the seat heater to overheat. An overheated seat may cause serious personal injury. Note: Do not do the following: • Place heavy objects on the seat • Operate the seat heater if water or any other liquid is spilled on the seat. Allow the seat to dry thoroughly. The heated seats will only function when the engine is running. To operate the heated seats: Press once to activate the high heat setting (three indicator lights). Continue pressing to scroll through the other settings; medium heat (two indicator lights), low heat (one indicator light) or off. The heated seats will turn off after 15 minutes. If the engine falls below 350 RPMs while the heated seats are on, the feature will turn itself off and will need to be reactivated. Cooled seats The cooled seats will only function when the engine is running. To operate the cooled seats: Press once to activate the high cool setting (three indicator lights). Continue pressing to scroll through the other settings; medium cool (two indicator lights), low cool (one indicator light) or off. The cooled seats will turn off after 30 minutes.
