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.
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. The
seat heater switches are located on
the dashboard above the center
pocket. Push the top of the switch,
HI, to rapidly heat up the seat.
After the seat reaches a comfortable
temperature, select LO by pushing the bottom 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 temperature drops.
In LO, the heater does not cycle with
temperature change.
