Seating and Safety Restraints Climate controlled seats (if equipped) Note: It is recommended for optimal performance that the vehicle air conditioning system be run in the same mode (either heating or cooling) as the climate control seat system. During start up of the climate control seat system, a slight difference in seat surface temperature may be perceived between the seat cushion and seat back until the cabin and seat temperatures stabilize. If the vehicle air conditioning system is run in floor mode, the effect may be more pronounced. Switching between seat heat and seat cool modes in alternate succession will delay the time it takes for the seat temperatures (back and cushion) to stabilize. The controls for the climate controlled seats are located on the dual electronic automatic temperature control (DEATC) system. Heated seats Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion, or other physical conditions, must exercise care when using the seat heater. The seat heater may cause burns 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, because this may cause the seat heater to overheat. Do not puncture the seat with pins, needles, or other pointed objects because this may damage the heating element which may cause the seat heater to overheat. An overheated seat may cause serious personal injury. Note: Do not do the following: • Place heavy objects on the seat • Operate the seat heater if water or any other liquid is spilled on the seat. Allow the seat to dry thoroughly. The heated seats will only function when the ignition is in RUN. To operate the heated seats: Press once to activate the high cool setting (2 indicator lights). Press again to activate the low heat setting (1 indicator light). Press again to deactivate the passenger heated seat. 180 2008 Expedition (exd) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
