seat.
This feature is designed primarily for use on damp and chilly days. The
LO setting warms the seatback and cushion until the seat approximates
body temperature.
On colder days, the HI setting heats the seats to an
even higher temperature. To prevent uncomfortable overheating of the
seats, the heating elements are thermostatically regulated to
automatically maintain the temperature at the selected setting.
A telltale
light in the control switch reminds you that the heating system is in use.
To preserve the battery, the heated seats can only be used when the
ignition is turned
on, and are deactivated when the ignition is turned off.
