Rear seat
To turn on the seat heater, push the
switch.
The key must be in the "ON" position.
The seat heater automatically turns off
when the seat heater has operated about
15 minutes.
Pushing the switch again will also turn off
the seat heater.
CAUTION
Occupants must use caution when op-
erating the seat heater because they
may experience minor burns at low
temperature. Use extra caution for;
D
Babies, small children, elderly per-
sons, sick persons or handicapped
persons
D
Persons who have delicate skin
D
Persons who are exhausted
D
Persons who have taken alcohol or
drugs which induce sleep (sleeping
drug, cold remedy, etc.)
To prevent the seat from overheating,
do not use the seat heater with a
blanket, cushion, or other insulating
objects which cover the seat.
NOTICE
z
Because placing the switch at "HI"
consumes relatively large electric
power, turn the switch to "LO" or
"OFF" after the seat is heated up
to the appropriate temperature. This
prevents unnecessary auxiliary bat-
tery power consumption.
z
To prevent the auxiliary battery
from draining, turn off the switch
when the seat heater is heated or
not in use.
z
Do not put unevenly weighted ob-
jects on the seat and do not stick
sharp objects (needles, nails, etc.)
into the seat.
z
When cleaning the seats, do not
use organic substances (paint thin-
ner, benzine, alcohol, gasoline,
etc.). They may damage the heater
and seat surface.
