2-48 Instruments and controls
The front seats and the rear outboard seats can
be warmed by built-in heaters. The switches
located on the center console and at the side of
the front passenger seatback can be operated
independently of each other.
1. Place the power switch in the ON position.
2. Push the LO or HI position of the switch, as
desired, depending on the temperature. The
indicator light in the switch will illuminate.
3. To turn off the heater, return the switch to
the level position. Make sure the indicator
light goes off.
The heater is controlled by a thermostat,
automatically turning the heater on and off. The
indicator light will remain on as long as the
switch is on.
When the vehicle’s interior is warmed, or before
you leave the vehicle, be sure to turn the switch
off.
NOTE:
The heated seats consumes less power
than the heater and can be used to either
help extend vehicle range by reducing
heater use or to maximize comfort by
supplementing the heater.
The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system on for most
driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the VDC
system reduces the traction motor output to
reduce wheel spin. The traction motor speed will
be reduced even if the accelerator is depressed
to the floor. If maximum traction motor power is
needed to free a stuck vehicle, turn the VDC
system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC OFF
switch. The
indicator will illuminate.
Push the VDC OFF switch again to turn on the
VDC system, or the VDC is automatically turned
back on when the power switch is placed in the
off position and then placed back in the READY
to drive position. See “Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) system” in the “5. Starting and driving”
section.
