HONDA 2013 Ridgeline - Manual (Page 132)

Follow these precautions when using
the seat heaters:
Do not use the seat heater in the
HI setting for an extended period,
because it draws large amounts of
current from the battery.
If the engine is left idling for an
extended period, do not use the
seat heaters, even on the LO
setting. It can weaken the battery,
causing hard starting.
Push the top of the switch, HI, to
rapidly heat up the seat. After the
seat reaches a comfortable
temperature, select LO by pushing
the bottom of the switch. This will
keep the seat warm.
In the HI setting, the heater
turns off when the seat gets warm,
and turns back on after the
seat’s temperature drops.
In the LO setting, the heater runs
continuously. It does not cycle with
temperature changes.

Persons with a diminished
ability to sense temperature
(e.g., persons with diabetes,
lower-limb nerve damage, or
paralysis) or with sensitive skin
should not use seat heaters.
