after an additional 30 minutes of continuous operation. If

turns the heater and the indicator light off after 30 min-
utes of continuous operation.

within two to five minutes.WARNING!

even at low temperatures, especially if used for
long periods of time.
•Do not place anything on the seat that insulates
against heat, such as a blanket or cushion. This
may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a
seat that has been overheated could cause serious
