Operating the Audiovox SCO2 Double Cut-Out Seat Warmer

System Operation:

A seat heater kit contains two (2) heater pads: (1) for the cushion & (1) for the back To realize two heating levels (not available on all models), the two pads are connected serially for the “LOW” position & in parallel for the “HIGH” position. This configuration gives a lower rate for the “LOW” position and 100% for the “HIGH” position. To avoid overheating, each pad has a thermostat, which interrupts the electrical circuit at a temperature of 158°F (70°C).

Seat Heater Use:

The seat heater is designed to control the temperature of the lower & upper seat segment of the front seats. Proper temperature control of the vehicle seat increase the driver‘s and front passenger comfort. The seat heater operates in two power levels and can only be activated with the ignition turned on. The switch label “HI” is best used to power up the seat heater in cold ambient temperatures. After the system is operational for a while the seat heater should be switched to the “LO” position for maximum comfort. This keeps the system from generating too much heat when running continuously. The low position will provide the best comfort for normal operating conditions. The seat heater may be turned “OFF” by placing the rocker switch in the center position.

The seat heater is equipped with safety device which senses and prohibits overheat conditions. If the seat heater is operated for extended period of time in the “HI” position, it may be possible for the thermo probe to shut the heater down. In such event it may take a few minutes until the system reactivates without intervention from the driver (provided the switch is still in the on position). A 10 Amp fuse protects against electrical shorts and other malfunctions.
