Subaru Forester: Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags / Seat heater (if equipped)
The seat heater is equipped in the front
seats or rear seats (window side seating
position).
The seat heater operates when the ignition
switch is either in the “ACC” or “ON”
position.
Safety precautions
CAUTION
- 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.
