• If you are not using the heated seat pad, or cleaning it, or if an error occurs, turn the heated seat pad off and pull the 12V plug from the 12V vehicle power socket.
• Unplug the power cord from the 12V vehicle power socket before cleaning and maintenance and after use.

WARNING
Risks to children and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities (e.g. partially disabled, elderly persons with restricted physical and mental capabilities), or lack of experience and knowledge (for example, older children).

• Children younger than 3 years must not use the heated seat pad because they are unable to respond to overheating.
