WARNING
. Make sure to have the rear passengers wear the seatbelts before lowering the armrest. If the rear passengers wear the seatbelts after lowering the armrest, seatbelts cannot provide maximum restraint, causing serious injuries.
. To avoid serious injury, never allow passengers to sit on the center armrest while the vehicle is in motion.
CAUTION
. Do not put hard or heavy objects or ones with protrusions on the seat, and do not stab the seat with sharp objects, such as pins or needles.
. People with delicate skin may suffer slight burns even at low temperatures if they use the seat heater for a long period of time. When using the heater, always be sure to warn the persons concerned.
. Do not put anything on the seat which insulates against heat, such as a blanket, cushion, or similar items. This may cause the seat heater to overheat.
. When the seat is warmed enough or before you leave the vehicle, be sure to turn off the seat heater.
NOTE
Use of the seat heater for a long period of time while the hybrid system is not running can cause 12 V battery discharge.
