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 82 for
more information. Seat Heaters and Seat Ventilation
