Re: Seat Heaters

["Daniel Hussey" <dan_hussey@email.msn.com>]

In the 5kcstq....  The rear seat heaters turn on when the front seat heater
for the seat directly in front of it is on.  There are sensors in the rear
seat.  If it detects someone is sitting in it, and the seat heater in front
of it is on, it too SHOULD come on.  In these cars, that is a big maybee.

Have a few friends in the car and try it out sometime.

Later,
Dan
