2011 ACURA RL ignition

The outer rear seat cushions and
seat-backs are equipped with seat
heaters.
The rear seat heater switches are
located under the rear vents. The
lef t (right) switch controls the seat
heaters on lef t (right) outer seating
position.The ignition switch must be in the
ON (II) position to use seat heaters.
Push the right side of the switch, HI,
to rapidly heat up the seat. Af ter the
seat reaches a comfortable
temperature, select LO by pushing
the lef t side of the switch. 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.
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.
