Seat heater (WRX STI) (if
equipped)
The seat heater is equipped in the front
seats.
The seat heater operates when the igni-
tion switch is either in the "Acc" or "ON"
position.
Each seat heater has four levels of
adjustment. To use the heater in the
right-hand seat, turn the "R" adjustment
dial forward until the " " mark reaches the
desired position. To activate the heater in
the left-hand seat, turn the "L" adjustment
dial forward until the " " mark reaches the
desired position. Each heater warms the
seat most quickly with the " " mark on the
adjustment dial in the furthest-forward
position. An indicator light on the adjust-
ment dial for each seat heater illuminates
when that seat heater is activated.
When the vehicle's interior is warmed
enough or before you leave the vehicle,
be sure to turn the switch off.
CAUTION
There is a possibility that people
with delicate skin may suffer
slight burns even at low tempera-
tures 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.
NOTE
Use of the seat heater for a long period
of time while the engine is not running
can cause battery discharge.

Rear seats

WARNING
Seatbelts provide maximum re-
straint when the occupant sits well
back and upright in the seat. Do not
put cushions or any other materials
between occupants and seatbacks
or seat cushions. If you do so, the
risk of sliding under the lap belt and
of the lap belt sliding up over the
abdomen will increase, and both can
result in serious internal injury or
death.
