positioned in f ront of the rear seat-
back whenever the seat-back is in its
upright position.
Make sure all items in the trunk, or
items extending through the opening
into the back seat, are secured.

after the seat’s temperature drops.
In LO, the heater runs continuously.
It does not cycle with temperature
changes.
Follow these precautions when using
the seat heaters:
Use the HI setting only to heat the
seats quickly, because it draws
large amounts of current f rom the
battery.
If the engine is lef t idling f or an
extended period, do not use the
seat heaters, even on the LO
setting. It can weaken the battery,
causing hard starting.
