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 may 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.

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.
