heated seat switch is depressed to a different position
(low or high) than the currently selected state, the re-
quested temperature setting will change to a new selec-
tion. If the heated seat switch is depressed a second time

the switch again to obtain low heat level. Pressing the
switch a third time will turn the heated seats off. If you
