Safety precautions
CAUTION
- People with delicate skin may
suffer slight burns even at low
temperatures if they use the seat
heater for a long period of time.
When using the heater, always be
sure to warn the persons concerned.

which insulates against heat,
such as a blanket, cushion, or
similar items. This may cause the
seat heater to overheat.

or before you leave the vehicle,
be sure to turn off the seat heater.
