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.
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 from the
battery.●If the engine is left idling for an
extended period, do not use the
seat heaters even on the LO
setting. It can weaken the battery,
causing hard starting.
A multi-information display message
may inform you when the battery
charge is getting low. See page 85 for
more information. Front Seat Heaters and Seat
Ventilation
On models with adaptive cruise control
(ACC)Both front seats are equipped with
seat heaters and an air ventilation
system. The passenger seat only has
heaters in the seat bottom because of
the side airbag system.
You must select the ON mode by
operating the engine start/stop
button (see page 194) to use the
heaters and the air ventilation
system.
