Heated Seats If Equipped
On some models, the front driver and passenger seats
may be equipped with heaters in both the seat cushions
and seatbacks. The controls for the front heated seats
are located on the center instrument panel area.
Push the switch once to turn on the heated
seats. Push the switch a second time to shut
the heating elements off.
NOTE: 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, diabe-
tes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use,
exhaustion or other physical condition must exer-
cise care when using the seat heater. It may cause
burns even at low temperatures, especially if used
for long periods of time.
Do not place anything on the seat or seatback that
insulates against heat, such as a blanket or cush-
ion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat.

WARNING! (Continued)
Sitting in a seat that has been overheated could
cause serious burns due to the increased surface
temperature of the seat.
Head Restraints
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.
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 posi-
tions in order to minimize the risk of neck injury
in the event of a crash.
Head restraints should never be adjusted while
the vehicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle with
the head restraints improperly adjusted or re-
moved could cause serious injury or death in the
event of a collision.
