Understanding the Vehicle
The front seats heating is operated by
the MIA system.
The seat comfort icons are in the
upper status bar in any MIA screen
configuration.
Touch the heated/vented seat icon
near the temperature value to open
the pop up that will allow you to
activate and set the function on the
driver's seat and/or on the passenger
seat.
To activate and set the
heating/ventilation functions of
the front seats and the heating of
the steering wheel (if available), in
addition to what is indicated, it is
possible to access the "Seats and
Wheel" submenu of the "Comfort"
page in which there are the seats and
wheel icon.
WARNING!
•Persons with low skin sensitivity
because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion
or other physical conditions must be
careful when using the seat heater.
It may cause irritation even at low
temperatures, especially if used for
long periods of time.
•Do not place anything on the seat
that insulates against heat, such as
a blanket or cushion. This may cause
the seat heater to overheat.
Front Seats Heat Function
NOTE:
The engine must be running for the
heated seats to operate.
If the function is not active (state
"OFF"), the dynamic parts of the icon
are grey: to activate the function
operate in the following mode:
• Starting from the state “OFF”,
within 15 seconds touch the driver or
passenger seat soft-key once to select
HI-level heating displayed by the seat
icon with 2 arrows and 2 red lines.
• Within 15 seconds, touch the driver
or passenger seat soft-key a second
time to select LO-level heating
displayed by the seat icon with 1
arrow and 1 red line.
• Within 15 seconds, touch the same
soft-key a third time to shut off the
seat heating.
NOTE:
Once a heat setting is selected, heat
will be felt within 2 to 5 minutes.
When the HI-level setting is selected,
the heater will provide a boosted heat
level during the first 4 minutes of
operation.
Then, the heat output will drop to the
normal HI-level.
If the HI-level setting is selected, the
system will automatically switch to LO-
level after a maximum of 60 minutes
of continuous operation.
At that time, the display will indicate
the change from HI to LO.
