Seat Heaters

On Canadian EX-V6 model and EX

model with leather interior

Both front seats are equipped with
seat heaters. The ignition must be
ON (II) to use them. Push the right
side of the switch, HI, to rapidly heat
up the seat. After the seat reaches a
comfortable temperature, select LO
by pushing the left side of the switch.
This will keep the seat warm.

The HI or LO indicator lights and

remains lit until you turn it off by

pushing the opposite side of the

switch lightly. The indicator will turn

off.

In HI, the heater turns off when the

seat gets warm, and turns back on

after the seats temperature drops. It

continues to cycle as long as you

leave it set on HI. The HI indicator

remains lit as a reminder that you

have the heater on.
In LO, the heater runs continuously.
It does not cycle with temperature

changes.

Because of the sensors for the side
airbag system, there is no heater in
the passenger's seat-back.
Follow these precautions whenever
you use the seat heaters:
Use the HI setting only to heat the
seats quickly. Select the LO
setting when the seats feel warm.
The HI setting draws large
amounts of current from the
battery.
Do not use the seat heaters, even
on the LO setting, if the engine is
left idling for an extended period.
They can weaken the battery,
causing hard starting.
