Follow these precautions whenever
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 of f 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 the HI setting, the heater turns off
when the seat gets warm, and turns
back on after the seat’s temperature
drops.
In the LO setting, 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
setting. It can weaken the battery,
causing hard starting.
