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 babies, 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.
Before folding a rear seatback, make sure that the rear seat warmer switch is off. If a rear seatback is folded while the rear seat warmer is in operation, it may heat the seat excessively and damage the seat surface.
Do not use organic solvents to clean the seat. It may damage the seat surface and the heater.
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.
(Front)
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.
(Rear)
When the ignition is switched OFF during seat warmer operation, the seat warmers are automatically turned off at the next engine start. To turn the seat warmers back on, press the seat warmer switch again.
The temperature of the seat warmer cannot be adjusted beyond High, Mid and Low because the seat warmer is controlled by a thermostat.
