Detail

NOTICE
Do not insert an automotive type cigarette lighter element. This can overheat the accessory power socket.


The accessory power socket is designed to supply power for 12-volt DC accessories that are rated 180 watts (15 amps) or less.

To prevent battery drain, only use the accessory power socket with the engine running.

When the accessory power socket is not in use, close the cover to prevent any small foreign objects from getting into the accessory power socket.

Front Seat Heaters*

The seat heaters can be used when the power mode is in ON.

Press the seat heater button:
Once - The HI setting (three indicators on)
Twice - The MID setting (two indicators on)
Three times - The LO setting (one indicator on)
Four times - The OFF setting (no indicators on)

When the power mode is turned on after it is turned off, the previous setting is maintained.

Press the AUTO button:
Both the air conditioner and seat temperature will automatically change to the setting most suitable to the ambient environment.

  • When any seat heater button is pressed, settings will switch to manual mode.
WARNING

Heat induced burns are possible when using seat heaters.

Persons with a diminished ability to sense temperature (e.g., persons with diabetes, lowerlimb nerve damage, or paralysis) or with sensitive skin should not use seat heaters.

Detail
Do not use the seat heaters even in LO when the engine is off. Under such conditions, the battery may be weakened, making the engine difficult to start.

After a certain period of time, the strength setting for the front seat heaters will automatically be reduced by one level at a time until the front seat heaters shut off. The elapsed time varies according to the interior environment.

As time passes, the set temperature will fall, and eventually the seat heater will shut off.

The seat heater may turn on if sensors detect weight on the passenger seat due to luggage, etc.

To prevent automatic activation, you can turn off automatic climate control for the front seat.
