Heated Front Seats
{
WARNING
If you cannot feel temperature
change or pain to the skin, the
seat heater may cause burns
even at low temperatures. To
reduce the risk of burns, people
with such a condition should use
care when using the seat heater,
especially for long periods of
time. Do not place anything on
the seat that insulates against
heat, such as a blanket, cushion,
cover or similar item. This may
cause the seat heater to
overheat. An overheated seat
heater may cause a burn or may
damage the seat.
On vehicles with heated front seats,
the controls are located near the
climate controls. To operate the
heated seats the ignition must be in
ON/RUN.
Press the button L to heat the seat
cushion and seatback.
Press the button once for the
highest setting. With each press, the
heated seat will change to the next
lower setting, and then the off
setting. The lights indicate three for
the highest setting and one for the
lowest.
The passenger seat may take
longer to heat up.
Remote Start Heated Seats
When it is cold outside, the
heated seats can be turned on
automatically during a remote
vehicle start. The heated seats will
be canceled when the ignition is
turned on. Press the button to use
the heated seats after the vehicle is
started.
The heated seat indicator lights on
the button do not turn on during a
remote start.
The heated seat temperature
performance of an unoccupied seat
may be reduced. This is normal.
The heated seats will not turn on
during a remote start unless the
heated seat feature is enabled in
the vehicle personalization menu.
