Rear Seat Heaters (Canadian models) HEATERS For right outer seating position LOW HI 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. Instruments and Controls HEATERS For left outer seating position Follow these precautions whenever you use the seat heaters: REAR SEAT HEATER SWITCHES The outer rear seat cushions and seat-backs are equipped with seat heaters. The rear seat heater switches are located under the rear vents. The left (right) switch controls the seat heaters on left (right) outer seating position. The ignition switch must be in the ON (II) position to use seat heaters. 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. Use the HI setting only to heat the seats quickly, because it draws large amounts of current from the battery. If the engine is left idling for an extended period, do not use the seat heaters even on the LO setting. It can weaken the battery, causing hard starting. 185
