WARNING

Be careful when using the seat warmer:

The heat from the seat warmer may be 

too hot for some people, as indicated 

below, and could cause a low-

temperature burn.



  Infants, small children, elderly 

people, and physically challenged 

people



  People with delicate skin



  People who are excessively fatigued



  People who are intoxicated



  People who have taken sleep-

inducing medicine such as sleeping 

pills or cold medicine

Do not use the seat warmer with 

anything having high moisture-

retention ability such as a blanket or 

cushion on the seat:

The seat may be heated excessively 

and cause a low-temperature burn.

Do not use the seat warmer even when 

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 

from a minor burn.

CAUTION

Do not use organic solvents to clean 

the seat. It may damage the seat 

surface and the heater.

NOTE



  If the ignition is switched off while the 

seat warmer is operating (High, Mid or 

Low) and then switched ON again, the 

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.
