temperature, select LO by pushing
the back of the switch. This will keep
the seat warm.
In HI, the heater turns of f when the
seat gets warm, and turns back on
after the seat’s temperature drops.

changes.Follow these precautions whenever
you use the seat heaters:
Use the HI setting only to heat the
seats quickly, because it draws
large amounts of current f rom the

causing hard starting.
Both f ront seats are equipped with
seat heaters. Because of the sensors

no heater in the passenger’s seat-
back. The ignition switch must be
