Kia Soul: Interior features / Seat warmer

The seat warmer is provided to warm the front seats during cold weather. With
the ignition switch in the ON position, push either of the switches to warm the
driver's seat or the front passenger's seat.
During mild weather or under conditions where the operation of the seat warmer
is not needed, keep the switches in the "OFF" position.
Temperature control (Manual)
• Each time you press the switch, the temperature setting of the seat will change
as follows :

• The seat warmer defaults to the OFF position whenever the ignition switch is
turned on.
Temperature control (Automatic)
The seat warmer starts to automatically control the seat temperature in order
to prevent low-temperature burns after being manually turned ON.

You may manually press the button to increase the seat temperature. However,
it soon returns to the automatic mode again.
- When pressing the switch for more than 1.5 seconds with the seat warmer
operating, the seat warmer will turn OFF.
- The seat warmer defaults to the OFF position whenever the Engine Start/
Stop button is in the ON position.
NOTICE
With the seat warmer switch in the ON position, the heating system in the
seat turns off or on automatically depending on the seat temperature.
CAUTION

thinner, benzene, alcohol and gasoline. Doing so may damage the surface of the
heater or seats.

seats that insulates against heat, such as blankets, cushions or seat covers
