not be covered by your warranty, and it could be costly.
But the notice will tell you what to do to help avoid
the damage.

you read other manuals, you might see CAUTION

located
on the outboard side

A telltale light in the control reminds you that the
heating system is
in use. The heated seats can only be
used when the ignition is turned on.
Press the control forward
