Features of your vehicle
Air ventilation seat (if equipped)
The air ventilation is provided to cool
the driver’s seat or front passenger's
seat during hot weather by blowing
air through small vent holes on the
surface of the seat and seatback.
While the engine is running, press
the switch to cool the seat.
When the operation of the air ventila-
tion is not needed, keep the switches
in the OFF position.
• Each time you press the switch,
the airflow will change as follows:
• When pressing the switch for more
than 1.5 seconds with the seat
cooler operating, the seat cooler
will turn OFF.
• When the air ventilation seat is
turned on, the seat may get cooler
after about 5 minutes.
• Because the air ventilation uses
the air in the vehicle, cooling effi-
ciency depends on the tempera-
ture of the air. In order to improve
cooling efficiency, use the air con-
ditioning system together.
• The air ventilation seat defaults to
the OFF position whenever the
ignition switch is turned to the ON
position.
WARNING
- Seat warmer
burns
Passengers should use extreme
caution when using seat warm-
ers due to the possibility of
excess heating or burns. The
occupants must be able to feel
if the seat is becoming too
warm and to turn the seat
warmer off. The seat warmer
may cause burns even at low
temperatures, especially if used
for long periods of time.
In particular, the driver must
exercise extreme care for the
following types of passengers:
1. Infants, children, elderly or
disabled persons, or hospital
outpatients
2. Persons with sensitive skin
or those that burn easily
3. Fatigued individuals
