    Wonder if the seat cover will have any adverse effects when the heated seat is ON?
    I am thinking of getting the neoprene seat cover and they say the material is like the wet suit and I am afraid that it may block the heat.
    Thanks,

    It probably will. I had them in another vehicle. Male sure you get the airbag friendly covers. I assume these are something like wet okole? W

    The manual says:


    Do not cover the seat with anything when using the seat heater. Using the seat heater with a blanket or cushion increases the temperature of the seat and may lead to overheating.
