Seats
Seat warmers (if equipped)
Seat warmers are provided to warm the
seats during cold weather.
WARNING
The seat warmers can cause a SERIOUS
BURN, even at low temperatures and
especially if used for long periods of
time.
Passengers must be able to feel if the
seat is becoming too warm so they can
turn it off, if needed.
People who cannot detect temperature
change or pain to the skin should
use extreme caution, especially the
following types of passengers:
•
Infants, children, elderly or disabled
persons, or hospital outpatients.
•
People with sensitive skin or who
burn easily.
•
Fatigued individuals.
•
Intoxicated individuals.
•
People taking medication that can
cause drowsiness or sleepiness.
WARNING
NEVER place anything on the seat
that insulates against heat when the
seat warmer is in operation, such as a
blanket or seat cushion. This may cause
the seat warmer to overheat, causing a
burn or damage to the seat.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the seat warmers
and seats:
Never use a solvent such as paint
thinner, benzene, alcohol or gasoline to
clean the seats.
Do not place heavy or sharp objects on
seats equipped with seat warmers.
Do not change the seat cover. It
may damage the seat warmer or air
ventilation system.
