HEATED SEATS (if so equipped) HEATED STEERING WHEEL (if so equipped) 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. WIC1441 The front seats are warmed by built-in heaters (if so equipped). The switch is located on the center console. 1. Start the engine. 2. Push the LO or HI position of the switch, as desired. 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 NISSAN dealer. ● The battery could run down if the seat heater is operated while the engine is not running. LIC0421 The heated steering wheel system is designed to operate only when the surface temperature of the steering wheel is below 68°F (20°C). The heated steering wheel switch is located on the front of the console box. Push the heated steering wheel switch to warm the steering wheel after the engine starts. The indicator light will come on. If the surface temperature of the steering wheel is below 68°F (20°C), the system will heat the steering wheel to approximately 86°F (30°C), and cycle off and on to maintain a temperature above 68°F (20°C). The indicator light will remain on as long as the system is on. 2-34 Instruments and controls
