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 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. Power Windows
