2022 Subaru Ascent Seat Heater Owners Manual

2022 Subaru Ascent Seat Heater (If Equipped)

Seat heater (if equipped)

The seat heater operates when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.

CAUTION

• Do not put hard or heavy objects or ones with protrusions on the seat, and do not stab the seat with sharp objects, such as pins or needles.
• People with delicate skin may suffer slight burns even at low temperatures if they use the seat heater for a long period of time. When using the heater, always be sure to warn the persons concerned.
• Do not put anything on the seat which insulates against heat, such as a blanket, cushion, or similar items. This may cause the seat heater to overheat.
• When the seat is warmed enough or before you leave the vehicle, be sure to turn off the seat heater.

NOTE

• Use of the seat heater for a long period of time, while the engine is not running, can cause battery discharge.
• When using for a long period of time, we recommend setting the air ventilation to the MID or LOW position. Use the HIGH position for only quick heating at the start of the function usage.
