WARNING
If you cannot feel temperature change or pain to the skin, the seat heater may cause burns even at low temperatures.

To reduce the risk of burns, people with such a condition should use care when using the seat heater, especially for long periods of time. Do not place anything on the seat that insulates against heat, such as a blanket, cushion, cover, or similar item. This may cause the seat heater to overheat.

An overheated seat heater may cause a burn or may damage the seat.
