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
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.

seat heaters. The passenger seat
only has heaters in the seat bottom
because of the side airbag system.

seat gets warm, and turns back on
after the seat’s temperature drops.

changes.
