retention ability such as a blanket or 
cushion on the seat:

  The seat may be heated excessively 
and cause a low-temperature burn.

taking a short nap in the vehicle:

  The seat may be heated excessively 
and cause a low-temperature burn.
  

  Do not place heavy objects with sharp 
projections on the seat, or insert 
needles or pins into it:

  This could cause the seat to become 
excessively heated and result in injury

seat warmer will automatically operate 
at the temperature set before switching 
off the ignition.

  Use the seat warmer when the engine 

is running. Leaving the seat warmer 
on for long periods with the engine not 
running could cause the battery power 
to be depleted.

  The temperature of the seat warmer 

cannot be adjusted beyond High, Mid 
and Low because the seat warmer is 
controlled by a thermostat.
