On the driver and the passenger side, the seat heating will resume
at the setting that was set when the ignition was last switched off.
However, this feature only works if the key is not taken out of the
ignition switch, or, for vehicles with Keyless Access, the driver door
is not opened or the vehicle is not locked.
People suffering from a low level of perceived pain or a lowered
awareness of pain as from medication, paralysis, or chronic illness
(e.g. diabetes) should NEVER use the seat heating feature → !
The use of seat heating by persons with these conditions could
result in burns to the back, buttocks, and legs that may take a long
time to heal and may never heal completely. If you have any of
these conditions, you should take regular breaks and get out of the
vehicle, particularly on long trips. Consult your doctor for advice
regarding your specific condition.
