6. Heated front seats*
With the starter switch turned to position ‘II’, press the
appropriate switch to heat either, or both the front seats
(indicator light in the switch illuminates). The seat heaters are
thermostatically controlled and operate to achieve and then
maintain a pre-determined temperature.
The seat heaters will not switch off automatically, they must
be deselected by pressing the switch a second time, otherwise
they will operate whenever the starter switch is in
position ‘II’.
The seat heaters consume considerable power from the battery.
For this reason, they should only be operated with the engine
running.
USING YOUR HEATER
Fresh air enters the heater through the air intake grille in front of
the windscreen and is extracted through vents at the rear of the car.
The air intake grille must always be kept clear of obstructions,
including leaves, snow and ice.
The heating system uses heat from the engine to warm the air
inside the car. For this reason, the heater unit will not operate
unless the engine is running, and full heating is not available until
the engine has reached its normal operating temperature.
The following examples, show some basic heating and ventilation
settings. Further adjustment of the controls, will result in a wider
range of options, enabling you to obtain the most suitable output
from the heater at all times.
Remember; with the blower switched off, the volume of air
entering the car is dependent on driving speed alone.
Heating
Set the controls as shown. Increase the blower speed as required
and adjust the centre face level vents to emit heated air only.
