heater on to avoid the possibility of burns: • Babies, small children, the elderly, the sick and the physically chal-
lenged
• Persons with sensitive skin • Persons who are fatigued • Persons who have taken alcohol or drugs that induce sleep (sleeping
drugs, cold remedies, etc.)
●Do not cover the seat with anything when using the seat heater.
