Seat warmers

Seat warmers are provided to warm the seats during cold weather.

During mild weather or under conditions where the operation of the seat warmer is not needed, keep the seat warmers off.

The seat warmers can cause a serious burn, even at low temperatures and especially if used for long periods of time.

Passengers must be able to feel if the seat is becoming too warm so they can turn it off, if needed.

Seat warmers consume huge amounts of electricity. Please avoid using seat warmers whilst the vehicle is off in order to prevent battery discharge.

People who cannot detect temperature change or pain to the skin should use extreme caution, especially the following types of passengers:

  • Infants, children, elderly or disabled persons, or hospital outpatients.

  • People with sensitive skin or who burn easily.

  • Fatigued individuals.

  • Intoxicated individuals.

  • People taking medication that may cause drowsiness or sleepiness.

Never place anything on the seat that insulates against heat when the seat warmer is operating, such as a blanket or seat cushion.

To prevent damage to the seat warmers and seats:

  • Never use a solvent such as paint thinner, benzene, alcohol or petrol to clean the seats.

  • Do not place heavy or sharp objects on seats equipped with seat warmers.

  • Do not change the seat cover. It may damage the seat warmer.

    To use this feature, it can be enabled from the Settings menu in the infotainment system.

    Select: Setup > Vehicle > Climate > Link to climate settings for auto-adjustment > Driver seat warmer/ventilation

  • The seat warmer defaults to the OFF position whenever the Engine Start/Stop button is pressed to the ON position. However, if the Link to climate settings for auto-adjustment function is on, the driver’s seat warmer turns on and off depending on the ambient temperature and the set climate control temperature.

The infotainment system may change after software updates. For more information, refer to the manual provided in the infotainment system and the quick reference guide.
