20 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE H EATED S EATS — I F E QUIPPED NOTE: H EAD R ESTRAINTS The controls for the front heated seats are located on the lower outboard side of the seat. This feature is only available with the ignition key in MAR (ACC/ON/RUN) position. Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of injury by restricting head movement in the event of a rear impact. Head restraints should be adjusted so that the top of the head restraint is located above the top of your ear. Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be felt within two to five minutes. 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 condition must exercise care when using the seat heater. It may cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods of time. WARNING! All occupants, including the driver, should not operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat until the head restraints are placed in their proper positions in order to minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a crash. Heated Seat Control Button Head restraints should never be adjusted while the vehicle is in motion.
Driving a vehicle with the head restraints improperly adjusted or removed could cause serious injury or death in the event of a collision. Push the switch once to turn on the heated seats. The LED on the switch illuminates when the heated seat is on. Push the switch a second time to shut the heating elements off. Do not place anything on the seat or seatback that insulates against heat, such as a blanket or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat that has been over- heated could cause serious burns due to the increased surface temperature of the seat.
