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 large amounts of electricity. Please avoid using seat warmers while 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 in operation, such as a blanket or seat cushion. This may cause the seat warmer to overheat, causing a burn or damage to the seat.

To prevent damage to the seat warmers 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.

Front seat warmers

While the engine is running, touch the seat warmer icon to warm the driver's seat or front passenger's seat on the climate control information screen.

Touching the seat warmer icon each time changes the temperature in turn from high to medium, low, and off.
The seat warmer temperature is lowered automatically and then goes off after a certain time to prevent low temperature burns. If high temperature is selected again after the seat warmer turns off, the temperature is controlled automatically again.
Link to Climate Settings for Auto-adjustment (for driver's seat)

The seat warmer automatically controls the seat temperature depending on the ambient temperature and the set climate control temperature when the engine is running. If the seat warmer icon is pressed, the seat warmer is controlled manually.

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

Select: Setup > Vehicle > Seat (or Climate) > Warmer/Ventilation Features > 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 feature 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 infotainment system manual.

Rear seat warmers

While the engine is running, press the seat warmer switch to warm the rear seats.

Pressing the switch each time will change the temperature in turn from high to medium, low and off.
The seat warmer temperature is lowered automatically and then goes off after a certain time to prevent low temperature burns. If high temperature is selected again after the seat warmer turns off, the temperature is controlled automatically again.
The seat warmer defaults to the OFF position whenever Engine Start/Stop button is pressed to the ON position.
You can also adjust the rear seat warmers from the front seats. With the engine running, select Climate > Rear Warmer in the infotainment system.
