you use the seat heaters:
Both f ront seats are equipped with
seat heaters. The passenger seat
only has heaters in the seat bottom
because of the side airbag system.
The ignition switch must be in the
ON (II) position to use them. Push
theHIsideof theswitchtorapidly
heat up the seat. After the seat
reaches a comf ortable temperature,
pushtheLOsideof theswitch.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 temperature drops.
In LO, the heater runs continuously.
It does not cycle with temperature
changes.
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
