Seat Warmers and Air Ventilation Seats

The seat warmers can cause serious burns, 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 amount of electricity. Please avoid using seat warmers while the vehicle is off in order to prevent the 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 people with medical condition causing insensitivity to hot objects or heat intolerance and heat and temperature sensitivity.

  • 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, air ventilation seats, and seats:

  • Never use a solvent such as paint thinner, benzene, alcohol or gasoline 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.

  • Do not change the seat covers. It may damage the air ventilation seat.

  • Do not place materials such as plastic bags or newspapers under the seats. They may block the air intake causing the air vents not to work properly.

  • Avoid spilling liquids on the surface of the front seats and seatbacks. This may cause the air vent holes to become blocked and not to work properly.

  • If the air vents do not operate, restart the vehicle. If there is no change, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
