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:If the engine is lef t idling f or an
extended period, do not use the

setting. It can weaken the battery,
causing hard starting.
